I love Halloween treats! I've made Black Cat cookies, Crescent Mummy Dogs, Boo Babies, Witches Brooms, Candy Covered Mini Chocolate Apple Bites, and even a Hair Raising Cake in support of Halloween and Breast Cancer Awareness month. Let's face it though, we don't always have time to make these kinds of treats. In fact, I haven't made anything in a … [Read more...]
By looking at the photo, you'd have no clue just how adorable these brownie 'ice cream' cones really are but lemme tell ya----SUPER CUTE!

This is super easy, fast, budget friendly, … [Read more...]
Oh man, making a car themed cake was more of a task than I thought but I have narrowed my issues down to a couple of things that I'll get to a little later. Truett turned 5 years old today and all I could think about was when my two oldest were that age...and how grown they are now. That means time will fly by again and Truett will be a Senior … [Read more...]

One last Halloween treat for you guys! These Witches Brooms are cute and tasty! One recommendation would be to use your own peanut butter cookie dough recipe or even the store bought roll.
