Coconut Pie Cupcakes

I’ve never had Coconut Cream Pie. There’s actually a lot of pies I haven’t tried. I just don’t make them or order them or get them much. Instead, I make Coconut Cream Pie Cupcakes. And they’re just as good. The entire cupcake part is graham cracker, which is the best part of pie anyways, and then…

Ovaltine Oatmeal Cookies

Whenever I’m at a loss for what to bake next, I turn to the greats in the baking world. AKA Joy the Baker. I flipped through her cookbook looking for something lemon-y, because my brother requested it, but then I saw “Malted Oatmeal Cookies” and what was I supposed to do? Not bake those?! The actual…

Strawberry Cheesecake Crumb Bars

Happy summer everyone! I’m in high school, so I still follow a school-year schedule, and as of yesterday, I am officially on summer break! It’s lovely. The end of the year always gets so busy as people realize that you need to finish everything up (hello, teacher who assigned us a book to read with a…

Baked Cinnamon Crumb Donuts

So I am calling these Baked Cinnamon Crumb Donuts donuts mainly because they were baked in a donut-shaped pan. But really, they’re coffee cake.

Birthday Cake Ice Cream

Homemade Birthday Cake Ice Cream is a vanilla cake ice cream base with birthday cake batter chunks and vanilla frosting swirl and of course, plenty of sprinkles. My brother recently got back from college, and before he had even come home he requested birthday cake ice cream. I was only too happy to fulfill this…

Butterscotch Pudding Cookies

Butterscotch pudding is the not-so secret (well, it’s in the name) ingredient that makes these Butterscotch Pudding Cookies so soft and chewy. We added chocolate chips too because, hey, contrast is fun. My mom normally thinks everything we make is delicious, but she has a certain list of flavors that just makes dessert even better….

Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies

It broke 80 degrees the other day. Actually, it broke eighty five degrees the other day. So to me, it’s officially summer. Of course, I’m still in school, trudging through the last 10 days, with teachers frantically trying to teach us things in ten days when really they should just be wrapping up and letting…

Orange Dreamsicle Cupcakes

It’s getting to be the time of year again where I am ready for school to be over and for summer to start. To use the slang common amongst teenagers, I am “so done” with school. So done. I’m ready to not have to go through all the same classes every day, I’m ready for…
