2014 is going to be here in two really short days and I want to get something off of my chest before the new year rolls in.   *Deep sigh* I’m not the biggest fan of cooked or baked fruit.  I can do without strawberry pie, or the raisins in bread pudding.  Sometimes, not all […]

The great Thanksgiving Dessert Debate:  Pumpkin vs Sweet Potato I think that deep down, I’ll always be a pumpkin pie girl.   My mom used to make amazing pumpkin pies every fall (if you call 85 degrees a real fall season), so they have a special place in my heart. Plus, I just devoured that […]

Y’all. It’s almost Thanksgiving!  Where did the time go?

For the last few months, I was involved in the best challenge ever – I was one of 50 Explorers who had the opportunity to find the Ultimate Chocolate Cupcake Recipe.  Stef from Cupcake Project asked us to test out her recipe for the perfect chocolate cupcake, and keep the recipe a secret until  she got […]

If you’ve ever baked a cake in your life, chances are that you may not have been very satisfied with its appearance straight out of the oven.  I’ve had every sort of issue with a cake before – from a sunken cake, to a domed cake, and a cake that was so cracked that it […]

Whenever I’m vending or talking to people about Sugar Euphoria, one of the first questions that I’m asked is “What’s your favorite cake flavor?” Now this is a really tough question for me.  I’ve always been a serious chocoholic.  I’m talking about chocolate cake, with chocolate frosting, topped with chocolate ice cream, and drizzled with […]
