Lemon Soaked Sweet Berry Cake

Berry desserts are one of my most satisfying favorites.  They’re light, fresh, and usually very moist.  Add lemon to that and I’m in love. The pops of blueberry in this super moist cake make this the perfect treat for Spring! I’ve made many blueberry muffins and cakes.  But this is the first time I’ve soaked the […]

Coconut Passion Fruit Angel Cake

Although my babies are out of preschool (still not sure how they grow so fast), these would be a fun, make-your-own snack for […]

Toasted, buttered, and topped with some fruity jam – I’m in heaven!  You must sit down to […]

He […]

(Yes, I started making treats at […]
