I had some leftover cake so I decided to make basketball cake pops for the Men’s NCAA championship game tonight. They are easy to make and would be great for any basketball game, sports party or treats for a basketball team.

Itsy Bitsy Foodies turned two and we celebrated with these almond poppy seed cupcakes, inspired by the Swedish princess torte. My take on the cake incorporates the rich almond flavor into the cake and the frosting, combining almond poppy seed cake, almond buttercream frosting, raspberry filling, chocolate ganache and marzipan.

Rainbow cakes are everywhere these days. I made one last summer and my family and guests loved the bright, vibrant colors. But in the back of my mind I couldn’t help but think of the negative discussion and controversy surrounding chemical food coloring. My husband was actually the one to challenge me to make a rainbow cake with natural food dyes.

Grapefruit is refreshing any time of year but it turns out that this beautiful pink granita is perfect for Valentine’s Day! The key to making granita is to agitate the ice crystals by beating them vigorously with a whisk or a spoon, breaking down the large ice chunks into soft, fluffy ice crystals.

It’s easy to transform cake pops into the iconic Mickey Mouse head using Necco wafers. Decorated with rainbow sprinkles these cake pops were the perfect addition to the dessert spread at my son’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday party.

I had some some beautiful pink peppermint ice cream so I decided to transform it into little ice cream cakes for a Valentine’s Day treat. In miniature form these cakes are basically ice cream sandwiches with cake instead of cookies for the crust.
