I’ve been wanting to make cake pops for a long time now. They are the perfect little bite-sized treat to satisfy your sweet craving, a creative way to use left-over cake and frosting, and cute little party favors or gifts. They also make a fun edible art project for kids.

I wanted to be able to enjoy the zucchinis that are in season {and get my son to eat the healthy green veggie} without also consuming an abundance of butter or oil. So I made zucchini bread with low-fat yogurt instead of oil. Between the grated zucchini and the yogurt the bread was incredibly moist and my family didn’t miss the oil at all.

Angel food cake is light and airy and will melt in your mouth, especially when served with fluffy whipped cream frosting. Its sweet, rich almond flavor goes well with fruits and berries and paired with its overall light texture makes it the perfect cake for summer.

Happy 4th of July! Simply serve the cake of your choice with blueberries, strawberries and homemade whipped cream for an easy and festive red, white and blue dessert. I used an angel food cake because it is light and perfect for the heat of the summer.

It is easy to make make funfetti cupcakes (or a whole cake, for that matter) with the cake batter of your choice. They look just like the cake mix versions but taste much better!

This rich, creamy and chocolaty dessert definitely isn’t for the weak. A little bit of the buttery cookie crust topped with vanilla-chocolate pudding and whipped cream goes a long way.

Strawberry season is one of my favorite times of the year. We have to wait a bit longer here in the Pacific Northwest but I am so ready, as the arrival of the strawberry marks the beginning of summer in my book. I decided to jump-start summer with these strawberry shortcake cupcakes.

Our baby boy surprised us a month early, arriving just a few days before Easter this year. We have been fortunate to have a steady stream of family and visitors helping us. Our nieces were a huge help, especially by entertaining our older son. And they made these adorable Easter cupcakes to boot! Though Easter has already come and gone I thought that these cupcakes were too cute not to share.

I know what you’re thinking: spinach or beet juice in my buttercream frosting?! Yuck! But you will be amazed at how you don’t even taste them, especially with the small quantities being used. As far as I’m concerned, I would much rather have my family consume a little spinach, beet or other natural dye than a chemically-produced version.

My family loves banana bread and the recipe that I grew up with is a classic that we never get tired of. Sometimes I stir in some chocolate chips to make it extra special.
