Alana I went to a pot luck at my co-workers house this past weekend for a festive holiday gathering. I wanted to bring gingerbread cookies, but one of the staff members is allergic to gluten. Gingerbread is a classic and I didn’t want to leave those cookies out of the mix, so I decided to … More Candy Cane Meringues

The icing is pretty sweet with the white chocolate, so it pairs really well with the chocolate … More Chocolate Cupcakes with Mint White Chocolate Icing
Alana It has been almost exactly two months (aka TOO LONG) since I last baked anything. Unfortunately my program isn’t very conducive to having a life outside of getting that darn nursing degree. On the plus side, I do get to credit today’s cupcake adventure to my seminar group, because we decided that the last … More Peppermint Chocolate Cupcakes
