Aren’t these pretty?! I am using so many recipes that I find on Pinterest lately! These Thumbprint Cookies caught my eye because they had been rolled in white non-pareils before baking, and then filled with pink buttercream! I loved how they looked and I thought they would be even prettier with colored non-pareils instead of white. I already had some leftover pink marshmallow fluff buttercream from my latest French Macaron recipe!… Read More

Molded French Cream
I wish I could say that I made the dessert in this lovely photo, but this is the photo that went with the recipe for Molded French Cream in Southern Living Magazine (April 1999). Yes, I am a bit of a magazine hoarder!! LOL! Mine looks so plain compared to theirs, but since there are no Violas or Sweet Peas to pick at… Read More
Rose Water Meringues
Today I wanted to share my recipe for Rose Water Meringues. I made them for my daughter Abbie’s fifth birthday party, and had a request for the recipe.

Tickled Pink Strawberry Almond Biscotti
Don’t you love biscotti?! I do too! I wanted to bake some for you, but I wanted them to be pretty! I used Martha Stewart’s Almond-Ginger Biscotti recipe, and just made a few changes. I substituted dried strawberries for the crystallized ginger, didn’t include lemon zest, and used my unbleached flour (King Arthur brand) instead of the all purpose flour. I got my… Read More
Lovely Lemon Blossoms
Today I baked something that I’ve been wanting to bake for a while. Paula Deen’s Lemon Blossoms! It’s a really easy recipe that includes yellow cake mix and lemon instant pudding mix. You bake them in a mini muffin pan, then dip the whole cake into a lemon glaze. The recipe comes from Food Network and when I saw that the recipe had 826 (mostly great) reviews… Read More
