Join me as I share my love of baking, family, and farm.
In this post, I will show you how I made Halloween baseball cookies for my son’s baseball team. I used edible paint, royal icing, and my airbrush to create these spooky little cookies. You could definitely change the color of the baseballs to make them look like softballs or even use this technique on whatever ball goes with the sport you’re into. Basketballs, footballs, volleyballs, tennis balls, just use your imagination!Read More »
As soon as Fall arrives my family starts begging me to make them these apple cider cakes. I am happy to oblige… and indulge. They just taste so darn good. I’m sure if you give it a try, this recipe is bound to be a favorite in your house too!Read More »

I wanted to make some cookies resembling The Thin Blue Line for a close friend, but I was in a time crunch. The only stencil I had to work with was a normal American flag stencil. Join me as I show you how I was able to use that stencil to create Rustic Thin Blue Line Cookies. Read More »
I am a huge fan of all things fall! It really is my favorite time of year. The flavors of fall are a big part of why I love the season so much. While most people (including me) think pumpkin spice when autumn comes to mind, another one of my favorite seasonal foods is smores! This is the time of year we tend to make bonfires out in the yard, so this is the time of year we eat smores! As much as I do love an authentic ooey gooey smore… It’s just not realistic to think I can whip up a fire whenever we have a craving for them. That is why I love these smores bars so much! You can enjoy everything you love about smores (and more) without worrying about roasting those marshmallows.Read More »
You will fall in love with these Lemon Sugar Cakes as soon as you take a bite! They go perfectly with a cup of tea… or even a la mode! It’s the lemon infused sugar that makes them so special. Not only is it added to the batter, but it’s also what coats these sweet little cakes. The texture is light, spongy, and moist. To top it off, they are SO easy to make. They are about as perfect as a lemon cake could be!Read More »
Oh, royal icing. We go way back. I can’t remember a time that there wasn’t always a container of the stuff sitting on my counter. As soon as I use one batch up, I am making a new one. While I do love working with the icing, like any relationship, we definitely have our ups and downs. I am going to share my tips and advice with you in this article. Most of that comes from the lessons I have learned through making mistakes, and from years of experience in working with royal icing. Maybe I can save you from learning some of those lessons the hard way, and help you discover some tricks of the trade much faster than I did.Read More »
I can’t get enough of royal icing. Nope, I just can’t! I love working with it over any other form of edible decorating. Obviously, I use it on cookies, but I even like to make cake toppers out of royal icing. I feel like I really get to express my creativity when I work with it. I have been using royal icing for a long time… over 10 years! During that time I have tried and used many different recipes. This allowed me to see what worked best for me, and play around with ingredients until I found what I now use and love. Read More »
Beach themed cookies are my favorite to decorate, hands down. Yup, even more than Christmas! As soon as the weather starts getting warmer and spring is coming to an end, I get excited. I know it’s about that time for beach cookies! I’ll make them for teachers, coaches, end of school year parties, and BBQs. They are just so beautiful! From summer to summer I may tweak the designs a little bit for creativity’s sake, but after many years of decorating, I never get tired of them.Read More »
