Hamburger Cupcakes


Alright with summer just around the corner and BBQ season starting I thought nothing would be better them hamburger cupcakes. No! It’s not actually hamburger in the cupcakes.

These are super cute and simple and everyone will think they are mini burgers! All it takes is cupcakes brownies and frosting.













First you are going to want to bake your brownies and cupcakes and let cool. While your desserts are cooling. Take the frosting and separate into 3 different bowls add food dye to each one. Red, Yellow, and Green. This is what you will put on top of you brownie in the middle of oyur cupcake to amkeit look more like a burger.

Once all your dessert are cooled cut the cupcakes in half put the brownie in the middle add each color frosting on top of the brownie then put the top part of the cupcake back on. The Ta Da! You are done!


Your mini burgers are done and ready to eat and enjoy!

Tuxedo Brownies


With Memorial Day coming up many of us go to BBQ, parties or get togethers.  If you are like myself or my friends you always bring something to the party. I am always the person who brings the desserts, surprise surprise right! Something I feel is a smart idea is that I bring something small and individual that people can just grab and eat.  These are my tuxedo Brownies. They are small, cute, delicious and perfect for everyone! As Always they are simple to make as well.







What you need!
·         Mini Muffin Pans
·         Brownies
·         Cool whip / Frosting
·         Strawberries (optional) (or another fruit you may like)

Follow the directions on the back of the box for the brownies. Bake for about 10 minuets use the toothpick test to make sure they are done. Once done let cool and then you can decorate the rest of the dessert! With the strawberries, I used and egg slicer and put the strawberry bottom up and slice almost all the way to the bottom.  Then fan out the slices of strawberries it gives it a cute look, that looks like you are a professional chef and you will get tons of compliments and its something so simple.
There you have it! A great small, simple and cute dessert to have at your next big party. Plus, the receips makes about 48 of these babies. 
Please remember eat responsibly!

Monster Cookies


Well I am at the age where many of my friends are getting married, engaged, or having kids. While, It sucks for me to have be the third wheel everywhere I go with my friends. However, on the plus side I get to do some cute things for them for their birthdays, Baptism, communions and more! This makes me a little excited. 

Why you ask?

I now get to play around with some cute ideas for my friends kids to whom which I refer to be my nieces and nephews. My favorite part of this is seeing their face light up when they see something so simple that I have created for them.

This week I have decided to show you guys my monster cookies! These are super cute and simple to make. It only takes two ingredients. Cookies and frosting!    











While I make homemade cookies and homemade frosting if I am in a jam I will go out and buy store bought stuff to make it a little easier on myself. Whichever one you choose to use, they turn out great!
Where can you find the cookies and frosting at go to the local grocery store and in their bakery department grab a box of sugar cookies. These cookies are generally pretty good and soft. Then in the baking aisle you can grab some Betty Crocker

Frosting, you will want to grab vanilla this way you can dye it to the color you want to make your monster.

It takes two cookies one on the bottom where you put the mouth then put the other cookie on top. Then you create the eye and hair. Then you are done. As I said they are simple and easy to make. If you want to make it even easier on yourself. Let the kids do it! Give them the two cookies and let them decorate it themselves. This way they will feel accomplished when they finish their project!

Milkshake Cupcakes


Now I don’t know about you guys but I love desserts that look cute and adorable. However, many of us do not have time to make things look cute that we find online that we would love to make.

I have something that the longest part to do is bake the cupcakes. Everything else is easy peasy lemon squeezey.

Now, I normally use my own recipes when I make desserts. But those of you that are in a time crunch and need a quick easy solution that you can still save money on without buying it from the bakery there is always BettyCrocker.  

What you need:
Betty Crocker cake mix (of your choice)
Betty Crocker Frosting
Sprinkles
Cherries
Straws









Just like I said simple, easy, and fun!

Baker’s Tip – When using store bought frosting put in the refrigerator for about 20 mins to harden it so it does not just melt together.
