My dad loved fruitcake. Secretly, I kind of liked it but always thought it could be much better tasting if it just didn’t have all those candied bitter bits in it and it had too many big nuts AND it was so heavy and dense! One year I decided to try my hand at it…

Super Easy Halloween Cupcakes
I made a bunch of cupcakes today and given that it is Halloween, I wanted to make them festive without spending all day in the kitchen. I used a cake mix and canned icing with a few extras and I think they came out pretty well! The first one – show at the top of…
Fresh Apple Cake
When my mother finally consented to give me the family recipe for apple cake, she insisted I call it “Fresh” Apple Cake – we had a conversation about “rotten” apple cake and the odds of THAT, but as mothers often do, she won out and so the official title of this post is Fresh Apple…
Guest Post: Pie Filling Cake
Hello everyone! I’m happy to fill in for Kelli today. I hope you enjoy this recipe. I like to make a quick and easy desert on the weekend. Sweets are nice to have around the house but I don’t normally like to spend a lot of time on them. I saw this recipe on Pinterest…
Strawberry Bundt Cake with Lemon Icing
This is what I’ve been doing this morning. Strawberry cake with kicked up Lemon Icing. Taking to mom’s for a party the apartment complex is having this evening. Yep, that’s a pot for a plant – I don’t have a cake pedestal! 🙂 Strawberry Bundt Cake with Lemon Icing Ingredients: 1 regular sized box of…
Pina Colada Poke Cake
A few weeks ago I made a Banana Pudding Poke Cake from Brandie over at The Country Cook. Mr. Picky-eater had never even heard of a poke cake at the time. Since, I have made 2. He loves them. At the grocery, I was standing in the cake and pudding mix aisle trying to decide…
Betty Crocker Cake Mix Change
Mr. Picky-Eater likes 2 kinds of cake for the most part. Vanilla with chocolate icing and chocolate with vanilla icing are his favorites. As I started my journey of learning to cook, he obliged and will at least taste most of the recipes I cook. I must admit, I love making something that starts with…
Twinkie Cake = True Love!
My daughter says I shouldn’t post a recipe of a recipe I got from The Country Cook’s site and because it’s not mine. Well….1. As domestically impaired, there are not going to be a whole lot of recipes that are mine, and 2. I’m going to give the writer of said recipe full credit and…
Cindy Bear Cake
I am celebrating 2 things: My first eBook, “The Guide to Garage Sale Greatness” being the number 1 book in its category for the first time, and, the birth of my grandson. We are pretty sure he will be born by Saturday. If you don’t have a Kindle, don’t worry! There…
Cherry Jam Chocolate Cupcakes
Cherry Jam Chocolate Cupcakes!! We love cupcakes at our house. My husband loves them more than just about anything. Not the wonderful works of art that you get at cupcake bakeries these days. Nope, my plain-palate husband loves the old-fashioned kind moms used to make for bake sales. I, on the other hand, love new…
