How To Make A Letter Cake

I love when there is a new trend in food. It's either completely ridiculous or completely cool! This one is cool, my friends! We are seeing these letter cakes and number cakes all over Pinterest and Instagram, and I think they are really elegant and beautiful.

DIY Baptism Cookies

This has been one of my most requested posts ever since the segment went up on Hallmark Channel's Home and Family. Now, I see why! It's not on the Home and Family website. Sorry guys!

I am including the video so that you can see the demo as well. These cookies are decorated on sugar cookies, but you can use gingerbread as well.

Speckled Egg Cupcakes

My all-time favorite Easter candies are those Cadbury chocolate eggs with the speckled candy shell on the outside! I love them so much that I cannot buy them, because I will eat the entire bag. I don’t mean to be partial, but I happen to like Easter candy better than Halloween candy.

If you aren't a biscotti lover, don't worry, I have your back! This recipe for biscotti is not your nonna's traditional recipe. These are crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside.

Trying out a Pressure Cooker by Avalon Bay

When I think of pressure cookers, I think of the very high tech gadgets that are used on Iron Chef! They have always been something that I have been intimidated by, because I thought they were meant for restaurant kitchens and competition shows only.
