Hi Friends!
I love finding new inspiration from the busy world around me. A few nights ago, my best friend/cousin came to visit Milwaukee and as we walked through the mall, we smelled the wonderful scent of pretzels from Auntie Anne's pretzel shop. The sweet aromas reminded me of walking through the mall with my family and always stopping at Cinnabun to split a giant cinnamon bun. These cupcakes pay homage to my childhood- the slightly sweet cinnamon cake, paired with the vanilla cream cheese frosting and gooey caramel makes it socially acceptable to compliment these buns!

Hi Friends!
Summer is FINALLY here! I love the smell of summer rain, bonfires with friends and of course all of nature's sweet goodness. My favorite part of summer has to be planting and using fresh herbs. In my window sill sits dill, basil and one of my favorites- thyme! I used fresh thyme to really brighten up the flavor of the strawberry preserves in the cake, as well as the luscious vanilla frosting. This cupcake is not a traditional flavor by any means, but it surely wakes up those taste buds!
Stay Sweet,

Hi Friends!
If you love Starbucks coffee like me, you have noticed that they have rolled out with "Cake Pops"- little bites of cake with a chocolate coating. And if you're vegan like me, you have noticed the pops aren't vegan- bummer. Have no fear, friends! I have your solution! I created a vegan Mocha Alond Fudge Cake Pop! A dark chocolate espresso cake covered in lucious vegan chocolate rolled in toasted almonds will surely get your afternoon off to a fun start! Go ahead and get creative with these little bites of fun- try different flavors of cake and frostings! Check out all the details at:
