Mini donuts filled with key lime flavor This past Sunday, 5/11, was my best friend, Winston's, ninth birthday. Winston is my golden retriever. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see him in his supervisory role as part-time baker/ clean up crew team member. This post is dedicated to him. Although he didn't snack on this batch of Baked Key Lime Donuts, I'm sure he'd love them (he loves to taste test - i.e. steal from the counter.) Below I'm sharing nine awesome facts about my main ...

Strawberry Banana Bread
Banana bread all jazzed up for spring What's a more classic school time lunch than a peanut butter sandwich? Growing up it was my go to lunch. The side however might be a little more surprising.

I was also in awe of the cute frosted carrots on top of the cake. For some reason I never made my own carrot cake. Something about it was a mystery to me. One day I came across ...
Coconut Cake Balls
The perfect bite: cake, frosting and chocolate The first time I made cake pops it was from a Starbucks' kit I got for Christmas. This was several years ago. I had heard of cake pops, but didn't really know what to expect. Well, they were delicious - sprinkled with peppermint candies, the perfect festive treat. After that, I only made them one other time. It seemed like so much work - making the cake, frosting and assembling, but really it's not so bad. For these cake balls, I made ...
