Budin de Huevos – Egg Bread Pudding!
I made this recipe by accident one day while trying to make a version of tres leches cake batter using the ingredients I had on hand, mainly cake flour and not all purpose flour. What came out was most certainly not a tres leches, but it was still pretty delicious. I have called this my “budin de huevos”, or egg bread pudding cake, because it’s somewhere between a sponge cake and a bread pudd…
Here comes Peter Cottontail
This cake holds so many memories for me. As a child, we made a version of this every year at Easter. What I love about it is the simplicity of the design – even a child can pull this off. You don’t have to be a professional to make this simple little bunny shaped cake, you just need a couple of 8-inch round cake pans and a knife. Usually you see this cake frosted and dusted with coconut. My husband an…

Rainbow Bubbles
Easy! Festive! Delicious! Refreshing! Pretty! This is my favorite go-to dessert after a simple, quiet meal for two or a blow-out family celebration.

Ingredients: Rainbow Sherbet Champagne (we use Spumante Sparkling Wine) or Ginger…

Strawberries are finally in season locally, which means they’re once again affordable and fresh. My four-year-old LOVES them, so they are always on-hand at our house this time of year. I wanted something a little bit more sophisticated to serve with our Easter bunny cake, so I decided to try my hand at a strawberry curd. Ingredients: 2 cups fresh strawberry puree 9 egg yolks 1/2 cup sugar 4 tablespo…
Birds Nest Macaroons for Easter!
I love this simple idea for an Easter or Spring themed sweet treat from Sunday Hotpants! Something a little unusual, and tasty too… (Sigh, I don’t like coconut… I wonder if anything else could be substituted and still get the same effect?)

A fun find for you all today… Sprinkle Bakes brings us this great idea for Mehndi decorated spice cookies. They are so pretty and unique!

Early in our friendship, we both were intrigued by the beauty of Mehndi design. We even had a Mehnd…
