I love mini cupcakes. They are the perfect size for kids and when I eat them it seems like it's fine to eat 3 or so because they are so small. This is my go to recipe for mini chocolate cupcakes. It's easy and reliable and they always turn out great. I love melt and mix recipes because they can be made without any planning...no need to have the butter soft. I have also made ...

Edible Gifts for Men: Fruit Cake
Adding to my Edible Gift Ideas for Men round up, here is my Fruit Cake recipe. I don't think you can go wrong with Fruit Cake as a gift. I love it, hubby loves it and both our Fathers love it!

Boil and Bake Fruit Cake
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...four colly birds! Did you know it was 'colly' birds? I always thought it was 'calling' birds. Apparently, the word 'colly' means 'black as coal' and colly birds are actually blackbirds. Learn something new hey...
