Super Fluffy Chocolate Chip Easter Bunny Cake (Vegan)
Okay, I know, I know…………. moist is not the greatest adjective there is…….but can we all agree it’s really hard to find a replacement for it in situations like this when describing a cake. So I have a little secret to tell you guys. I’ve been playing with video this week! Honestly, I’ve been putting it off because, knowing myself around photography alone, I’ve always known I’d be super obsessive about perfecting it and video editing takes at least three times as long as photos. Well, I was right about the perfectionism thing but what I didn’t realize is how much fun I’d have with all the possibilities for editing and creative filming. Especially…

Coconut Vanilla Fluffy Bunny Ears Cupcakes (Vegan)
Somehow it’s approaching the end of another month again. How did that happen? Wow, is it just me or is 2018 passing lightning fast? It’s already almost the first of April you guys and coincidentally that’s also Easter Sunday this year. I’ve already ranted about my confusion over Easter’s jumping date on the calendar every year so I won’t go into that, but I am curious, are you getting sunny weather yet? I’ve heard some of my blogger friends over in Colorado and even Montana are still getting snow up in the mountains. Spring seems to be taking it’s sweet time getting here this year, at least for this area. Since it’s almost…

Healthy Carrot Cake Cupcakes + Coconut Frosting (Vegan+GF)
So tell me if this is just me, but I always seem to wonder about the most random things in life. My mom used to tell me I’d ask her the deepest questions as a little kid. The kind of questions that really stump parents as there’s no possible way to describe and explain the answers to a child even if they do have an answer. Questions about time, space, and concepts of fairness in life. Mom was always pretty good at coming up with an answer to appease my shorter self, but looking back now I can see that I put her in some tough positions with my spontaneous inquiries. These days…

Chocolate Covered Almond Butter Eggs (Vegan+GF)
Did you hear that Easter is going to be on April 1st this year? So I know I’ve been told more than once how the date for Easter is determined each year. I got it, there’s a method, but honestly, wouldn’t it be easier and so much less confusing to just stick to one day for it? Well, that’s obviously not happening anytime soon so I’m going to have to just get over it. Some of you probably already know that I’ve only been back in the States since the beginning of last Summer. It’s so so nice to be back in the seasons I’m so used to rather than going into Autumn…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Egg Cake Truffles (Vegan)
Hey again, I’m here to (surprise, surprise) tell you about something chocolate! Okay, I know I should be sharing something a little bit more balanced to help inspire you to start your week off right, but……. well chocolate. Did you catch that part? Oh, and there’s peanut butter too! Since the very first months of blogging until now I’ve always wanted to be super organized and planned with my recipes but with the craziness of life things don’t always pan out as I plan. So anyway, I found myself trying to brainstorm some last-minute recipes recently and of course I had Easter on my mind since it’s getting very close. Less than a…

Blueberry Filled Mini Pavlovas (Meringue Nests)
……and they’re just in time for Easter, are they not? This lovely little treat has been on the list of things that I want to try for way too long because, every time I’ve wanted to actually make it, I keep getting caught in the indecision of whether to make a huge one or to make it in minis. As you can see I finally stopped messing around and just did it, decided on the minis. I could have left it at calling these ‘meringues’ but the truth is that I kind of just wanted to say Pavlova. Try it, it’s so much fun to say; Pavlova, Pavlova, Pavlova! Of course I can’t say…

Naked Carrot Cake with Coconut Cream Frosting (Vegan+GF)
Blogging this past year has made me realize a lot of things about myself that I never knew. One of which is the fact that I might be obsessed with cake. I wouldn’t have thought so but recently I’ve just wanted to bake cakes. So you know how I was talking about fads the other day? Yeah, well, the “naked” cake look is another one of those that is really in right now and I’ve been on the fence about how I feel about it. For a while I thought I’d never do a cake like that because cake decorating is basically in my blood. Both my mother and my grandmother have been…
