I love to eat cake. Doesn’t matter what kind, just GIMME cake! I love to bake cakes. So much cake. One summer was particularly scary in our household. In order to offset the plaguing what-ifs, I announced to Husband that we would now be enjoying The Summer of Cake. We had a new cake every …

The star here isn’t the cupcakes, but the Strawberry Lemonade Frosting. It met and then decided to exceed my, and all who experienced it, expectations. Witness its strawberry lemonade glory: Take any vanilla cupcake recipe and then get ready to super-charge those badboys. ~ A gentle reminder: OMT! uses Amazon referral links. When you do …
I likey buttermilk. I am fond of plucking a lime from my tree to stuff into my beer. I adore shortbread. Combine all these lovely tastes into Buttermilk Lime Shortbread Bars and you’d think I’d be in heaven. Sometimes you win with a recipe and other times you walk away with a “Note to self: …
Right at this very moment I know you could use a pick-me-up (yes, even, especially, if it’s 7am) and this post certainly won’t help. BUT, you can poke them down your piehole lickety-split with this super easy recipe. I give you: Brownie Chunk Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. Oh my… Confession #1: I used a …
What happens when I’m bored and want to bake, all in one moment? I rummage through the pantry. I rummage through the fridge. I ask myself, “Mrs. Tucker, what’s so weird that you’ve got to make it?” (head’s up: some days grannies get so excited they revert to third-person) Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip BACON Cookies. …

Two quick asides before we get to the aforementioned bears: #1) I grew up in West Texas with a German-born mother, whose family sent us packages of the original Haribo Gummie Bears when I was a kid. No one else knew …
I have been in a baking mood in the last few weeks and since I was raised right, I’ll share! When I started out, I thought I’d make a specific brownie recipe, but instead had to adapt because I was short on a few key ingredients. OMT’s Toffee Chip Cookie Dough Brownies are the result: …
I was suckered by Pinterest…again! A baker, a trusted baker, said she’d found the perfect white cake recipe; she promised I’d never have to look again. It was her own recipe, one she had adapted from a well-known source, that she promised she had made much better. With that kind of hype, and her trusted …
Some days nothing but a frosted brownie will do. Hello, lover… Yep, some days require a little one-on-one time with some quality chocolate and a generous dose of cream cheese frosting. Hello, darling… The dirty little secret here, is that sometimes I bake from a box and add a splash of my own homemade signature …
What have we here? It’s cake…a Pineapple Upside Down Cake baked in a genu-wine cast iron pan, y’all! Starts looking ordinary, like this (ho-hum): But, if you do it right, turns out all gooey and caramel-y and pineapple-y, like this: My B-I-L, one of the outlaws (as I count myself), did the nicest thing for …
