sweet as a peach

Peach season will soon be upon us and I cannot wait to indulge in this most delectable fruit. It's no surprise Martha Stewart is my first stop in finding the best ways to eat a peach.

Time For Cake

We're having our first cake tasting today (yummy!). Not only are we choosing the flavors we want, but also the design and look of the cake. The first place I went for inspiration is, of course, Martha Stewart Weddings. So many pretty cakes...

Four words....

Red. Velvet. Whoopie. Pies!

Whoopie pies seem to be everywhere lately, so why not give them a Christmas twist?

I'm totally wanting to try out this holiday twist on my most favorite dessert ever, creme brulee. I didn't think you could get any better than classic vanilla, but white chocolate and cranberry, garnished with sugared mint and cranberries? Yes, please!

I'm really growing fond of Bon Apetit magazine. They have some of the best, most enticing food styling and photography. I don't even like apples that much (crazy, I know) but these apple desserts look soooo good!

berry Patriotic

Fourth of July is my favorite holiday; I love to see all the red, white, and blue popping up everywhere. Even on my plate. Ripe summer berries, in their red and blue hues, are the perfect ingredient for July 4th desserts!
