On Thursday we made Valentine’s Day cupcakes for Lola’s class. I had thought we might make some red velvet ones with cream cheese frosting for a festive feeling but she very specifically requested yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting. Haha! So, we made some nice basic yellow cupcakes and then dressed them up a tiny bit with some different swirls and little embellishments on top.

Good morning! I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! Every year since they were tiny the girls and I make gingerbread houses. We’ve bought quite a few different kits over the years and have found some work better than others and we have so much fun doing it but I have to say I don’t think we’ve ever had any that actually turned out very pretty – haha!

Hot Chocolate Bombs with Gingerbread House Topper

Good morning and Happy Saturday! It’s crazy to think that Christmas is now less than two weeks away. We’ve made hot chocolate bombs twice in the last week or so and love them so thought we’d share them here as well.

We’ve gotten Ruby a special treat for each of her last two birthdays so with Teddy’s first birthday and Ruby’s third on the horizon, a few weeks ago we started looking on Pinterest for some recipes to make our own little cakes for them. We ended up mixing a couple of different recipes together.

Every time we post pictures of this summer cake we get asked for the recipe! It’s super easy because we use a cake mix for the cake and then add our favorite homemade frosting. I’ve never bothered to type it it out along with the picture but seeing how we get asked about it quite often I figured I’d go ahead and quickly type it up now.
