Hummingbird Crêpe Cake
I’ve been more excited than a 30-something year-old should ever be over a cake for the release of this recipe. When I was testing the last recipe I posted, I was on a crêpe-makin’ roll and made a bunch of extras to just play around with some ideas with. After I just ate a handful…
Strawberries & Cream Crêpe Cake
Oh la la! Crêpe cakes are always impressive. Luckily, these stunners look like they took far more effort than they actually do.

Sometimes you just need a donut. If y’all are anything like I am (heaven help you…), a quick donut recipe is one that you will treasure. This donut is a bit unique in that it is made with a French pastry dough that puffs. It’s exactly the same base that cream puffs and eclairs are…

Old Fashioned Cocktail Apple Butter
Old fashioned cocktail meets good ol’ Southern apple butter in this simple spread recipe. Seriously good apple butter with the added kick of bourbon, bitters, and maraschino cherry. When I was a kid, applesauce was one of my favorite lunch sides. It’s kinda weird that as an adult I don’t really love cooked apple things….
Peppermint Cookies & Cream Marshmallows
The fluffiest of fluffy homemade marshmallow recipes. Vanilla bean and peppermint layered marshmallows topped with soft peppermint crushed candy, white chocolate, and crushed cookies and cream cookies. This post is sponsored by Kroger.

Cornflake Cookies
Get out the butta and pecans. It’s that time of year, y’all. Bake, bake, bake. Without a doubt, this is when everyone pulls out their favorite sweet treats to make for their friends and family.
