My friend is moving to London to get her MBA. Fancy, I know. So naturally, I made her America Cupcakes. Patriotic Funfetti Cupcakes to be precise. You know, so when she's over there hanging out with Princess Kate and meeting cute British boys with even cuter accents,...
The other day, I received a recipe request from a Miss Sheila Longbottom. Sheila not-so-subtly expressed her interest in these No-Bake Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Corn Flake Bars. The body email went something like "I WANT THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!". Then she even told me that she LOVES me. A little...
This Lime Layer Cake with Mango Buttercream came into creation because I had a couple mangoes in the refrigerator that were on their last legs. While trying to brainstorm mango recipe ideas, I couldn't get mango margaritas out of my head. Maybe it's because they're...

I've got so much honey, the bees envy me. Central Texas Wildflower Honey, that is. But we'll get to that in a minute. I absolutely love simplicity in my food. While it's fun to make cupcakes covered in buttercream and sprinkles and filled with curd/jam/whatever-craziness-I-can-come-up-with, nothing really...
