Did you know that today is National Pound Cake Day? Who knew that existed? To celebrate National Pound Cake Day, we’re sharing an easy recipe from Sweet Designs. You can use homemade pound cake or if you are in a pinch, you can pick up store bought pound cake and cut it up into little cubes like below. This recipe is from the Pastel Pretty chapter of my book and believe me, this chapter is…

Thank you to everyone who responded to my facebook posts and tweets about sharing a recipe from Sweet Designs. We added up all of the votes from the various polls and Key Lime Bars won with a slight margin.

Fashion Accessories Collection with Wrigley {Recipe}
We hope you were here yesterday to check out our A-line shift cookie collection made using Wrigley products. Here are some more fun ideas for using gum and candy for decorating sweets for fashion week, an awards show, or for a treat for someone who simply loves fashion. We used Wrigley gum, Life Savers®, and Skittles® to create a quilted purse, studded cuff, and bling-y ring. Since gum is malleable, it is easy to turn…

Red Carpet Cookies with Wrigley {Recipe}
Since we’re all talking fashion today after last night’s Golden Globes Awards, we thought I’d share a fun project we did for Wrigley.
As you may have seen here and here, we’ve partnered with Wrigley to show candy fans, party stylists, and DIY’ers everywhere how Wrigley gum and candy can be used in many other fun or delicious ways. When we first received all of the Wrigley products, one of the first things that came…

Little Man Guest Dessert Feature {with Caramel Pretzel Cheesecake Shooter Recipe}
When this featured submission popped up in our inbox, it put a huge smile on my face. As a mother to two boys, I’m always referring to them as “My Little Men”. Although I’m not the biggest fan of the “moustache trend” that we saw in 2011, this table by Gretchen from Three Little Monkeys Studio was done just right! Ever since her son was born, Gretchen and her husband have always called their son…

Into the Mist-Ic with Sierra Mist Natural & Giveaway
We love this time of year for many reasons. New York City, with all it’s spectacle, takes our breath away. Also, we get to entertain…a lot! So when we were asked by Sierra Mist to come up with recipe ideas, we did not hesitate to say yes. We had a lot of fun creating the drink recipes. Last week, we showed you two fun cocktail/mocktail recipes to whet your appetite. Today, we are back with…

Getting Frost Bite with Sierra Mist Naturals
We were asked by Sierra Mist Natural to try some of their Cocktail/Mocktail recipes..so, of course, we turned it into a reason to entertain yesterday. For a rare change, we were in charge of the drinks, while our friends Rachel and Stephanie brought over the sweets. Since it was noon, we chose to serve a mocktail and the “Frost Bite Mocktail” was perfect for the chilly weather yesterday. The mocktail is made of just Sierra…

Our Sugar Cookie Recipes for People Magazine
Hello everyone. Even though I rarely put press on here, I thought you’d all be interested in this fun editorial piece we did for People Magazine. People asked us to come up with five versions of our basic sugar cookie recipe for their entertaining/holiday issue. Yes, it is a little early to think holiday, but you could bookmark it and come back to it after Thanksgiving. It’s amazing how much fun you can have by…

Halloweekend Countdown: Orange & Black Cupcakes
Zebra patterns are always very popular. Kathryn from Sugar Tumble sent us her tutorial on how to make orange and black zebra cupcakes for halloween. These are super cute and would be easy to do with your little monsters. By switching out the colors, these would be great for tailgate parties or Super Bowl parties. Even better, change the colors to match your child’s school’s colors and we bet they would be snatched up quickly…

Amy’s Cookbook Finds: Sweet Confections {+Giveaway!}
I think you all know by now that I have a slight obsession with cookbooks. My husband and I laugh sometimes that cookbooks are to me what shoes were to Carrie Bradshaw, and that our home is slowly but surely being invaded by cookbooks. My collection rivals the Barnes and Noble cookbook section. While I read many books online now, there is something about flipping through the pages of a cookbook that I’ll never tire…

Baking With Julia Giveaway + Berry Galette Recipe!
Way before Rachael and Giada, there was Julia Child. What is there to say about her that hasn’t already been said? Julia, so funny and so very tall, shook up America’s culinary repertoire with her two-volume series Mastering the Art of French Cooking. We haven’t been the same since. Today Julia would have been 99 years old. To honor her birthday, we are giving away a copy of Baking with Julia, a collection of recipes…

S’mores Day Roundup

S’mores may be the one kid’s treat adults feel no shame in eating. Whether you spent your childhood summers in front of a campfire or in the middle of the city, that gooey chocolate sandwich is nostalgia in dessert form. However you toast your marshmallow (from golden brown to burnt black), half the fun is in building your s’more. Of course, we love…

Sweet Talk with Suzanne Vier + Granola Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
We love stories, like our own, about people who left corporate jobs to follow a dream or do something that they felt passionate about. Today, we have another installment of our “Sweet Talk” series for you. Meet our good friend Suzanne Vier, who left the corporate world for the crunchy world of granola. Inspired by flavors that she found in Spain, she came home and threw caution to the wind and started Simply Suzanne….

Creamsicle Trifle Recipe
Creamsicles. Is there anything more creamy and refreshing on a hot and sticky summer day? The chilly orange ice coating with vanilla ice cream filling is usually seen in the popsicle form, like the first ones created here. …We were surprised to find very few variations of this beloved treat so we decided to dream up our own version with a Creamsicle Trifle. Grand Marnier-soaked lady fingers are sandwiched between layers of orange sherbet and

Moon Day – Fun DIY Project
Just over a week ago, the Atlantis lifted off and became NASA’s final space shuttle flight. Isn’t it a little bittersweet? How fitting that the end to this program dovetails with its beginning. Today is Moon Day…, the day that Neil Armstrong uttered that famous phrase, “It’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The day that he and fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin became the first men to walk on the
