DIY Pumpkin Spice
If you are anything like me, you can never have enough pumpkin spice in the house. This is especially true in the fall and winter seasons. As soon as the temperature drops and the leaves start to fall I find myself in the mood for all things pumpkin spice. It’s a favorite flavor of mine, but it also makes the house smell amazing while you bake. I used to buy the little containers of it in the grocery store, but they didn’t last long at all. Let’s not forget they are expensive too! Let me show you how I make my own pumpkin spice with spices you probably already have in your pantry. It’s so easy you’ll never go back to buying the pre-made containers again!Read More »

Easy and Delicious Quick Pour Icing
Quick Pour Vanilla Icing
This vanilla icing is my “go-to” icing for just about everything. It’s SO flexible! You can play with the consistency by adding or subtracting the milk to fit your needs. I use it most often for bundt cakes, but it also works perfectly drizzled over bars. I even thicken it a bit for cookies and then top them off with sprinkles for a quick way to add a little something extra. It’s simple and beautiful just as is, but it takes to food coloring well so you can add some color if you’d like.
Aside from it tasting AMAZING, my favorite thing about this icing is how it sets. It doesn’t necessarily harden completely… it still has a nice soft texture when you bite into it, but the outer layer dries perfectly! I’m pretty much saying, once you let it dry, you won’t have a runny mess!Read More »
