Starburst Cake

I made this cake for my good friend's bridal shower. Her wedding colors were tropical in theme (bright pink, green, orange, yellow, purple). This was a strawberry cake that I covered in a lime buttercream frosting and Starburst [fondant] flowers.

It was a big hit at the party.

Note to self: Starburst fondant is way tastier than regular fondant.

Simple Textured Wedding Cake

This was my first wedding ever. EVER. I was super intimidated by the task, but the cake turned out wonderfully. 

The bride wanted something simple: textured ivory buttercream with layers of raspberry-filled vanilla cake, and fudge-filled chocolate cake. It tasted a little bit like heaven.

The happy couple :)

cookie dough bars

One of the greatest things in life is eating cookie dough from the bowl.

It takes you back to when your mom would make cookies and would let you sample the dough, and when she wasn't looking you would sneak a little bit more from that bowl.

Yeah, these bars are kind of like that :)
So delicious that they almost sneak right on you.

Chocolate Dream Cake

It all starts with some dark chocolate...

It's dangerously addictive stuff.

Look into the center of this cake...keep staring...yes, you will feel yourself getting very sleepy...

v e r y    s l e e p y . . . 

Finish it off with a glass of cold milk.

It doesn't get much better than that.

sometimes...

Sometimes all you want is a cinnamon roll, warm from the oven, oozing with cinnamon sugar, and dripping with cream cheese frosting.

Frosted Fairy Cookies

Soft, sweet, dainty sugar cookies.

It's like a fairy's favorite snack.

Oh, and gluten-free ones too!
Who said dessert couldn't be [semi] healthy?

The Whiteout Cake

This was my first layer cake ever.

I was super nervous because I thought it was going to topple over and stuff.

But it didn't. 

Phew...

Layers of vanilla bean cake all squished together with a white chocolate creamy dreamy frosting.

Gahhhyummm...

Swirled Berry Pie

Once upon a time, I decided that I wanted to start a cooking blog. Due to my lack of experience (and lack of creative blog titles), I named it: Hinckley Health and Happiness. Cool name, right? Yeah, I thought so. This blog was dedicated to food that I made for my family (hence the "Hinckley" surname attached to it). It was full of many recipes and many poor quality pictures. It's a little embarrassing to look back on it. Nonetheless, I posted some really tasty things on there. One of those posts was a dessert called: Fantastic Freezer Pie. This pie was super scrumptious. And guess what? I am here to post it for you today (take two). Hoorah!

Swirled Berry Pie

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese,
• softened
• 1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
• 2 cups sherbet, softened (raspberry, orange, lemon, etc...I used pineapple)
• 2 cups whipped topping
• 1 cup raspberries
• 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust

1. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and marshmallow creme together, until smooth. 
2. Stir in sherbet. 
3. Fold in whipped topping. 
4. Stir in the raspberries. 
5. Pour into crust.
6. Garnish with berries.
7. Freeze until firm. 
8. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. 

Cool fact: The pie can be frozen for up to 3 months.
