These bars are a cross between a granola bar, muffin and energy bar. They are a nutrient-dense snack but they satisfy a cookie and overall sweet tooth craving.

Bite-sized carrot cake squares covered in white chocolate? Yes, please! Naturally-dyed cream cheese frosting carrots add the finishing touch. Happy Easter!

Maybe it’s the thought of Easter bunnies munching on carrots but carrot cake makes me think of spring and Easter. In reality, the warm, spicy flavors of ginger and cinnamon make this an equally satisfying treat during the fall and winter or any other time of year.

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.

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.

Peppermint ice cream has a reputation of being a Christmas flavor but it doesn’t have to be reserved for the winter holidays. Its beautiful pink color is just right for Valentine’s Day and its cool peppermint flavor makes it a refreshing choice when you’re trying to beat the summer heat.

HO! HO! HO! and Merry Christmas from my itsy bitsy foodies family to yours. This is the first year that my older son has really keyed into Santa Claus so I thought it would be fun to make him a Santa Claus ice cream sundae.

These little bite-sized pecan pies are one of my absolute favorites. They are a festive addition and will provide some visual variety to any dessert spread or cookie platter.
