les lettres d'amour

After making these delicately thin, crisp tuile cookies, they reminded me of a little love letter. These little treasures look the perfect size
to be a special message in a bottle.
I know I would rather receive a bottle that housed the delightful words of sugar over the sweet words of any lover.

Oh You're So Spicy But Yet So Sweet

Cinnamon is the spice of these adorable cookies' lives and a perfect companion to sweet sugar. These snickerdoodles are a melt in your mouth cookie that are highlighted by a trace of warm, sweet cinnamon.

A delicate drizzling of milk chocolate for everyone who wants to risk a cavity! :)

Simplicity isn't always a bad thing.

Awwww Suga, Hugable, Lovable Brownies

These trufflicious brownies have me in awe of their delicious chocolately fudge consistency. If those qualities don't make you fall in love, then the hint of raspberry preserves that graces the bottom layer will most definitely have you saying "Ummm sweetie!"









These Hugable, Lovables were super easy and quick to make, which makes them all the better.

A never-ending love of chocolate.

Sweet, Soft Smooches

Soft, tender, delicate smooches are perfect bite-sized cookies for anyone looking for some lovin'. They are light, airy butter cookies that feature a faint vanilla flavor and extra special sprinkles to add to their cute, spiral appearance. These kisses will keep you coming back for more each time they tickle your lips!

Peek-A-Boo

"Why hello!" This is a common response to these soft chocolate cookies that have a peanut butter center - Surprise! Extremely fun to make, these little tricksters tickle the taste buds with the mingling of milk chocolate and creamy peanut butter. With each bite of these cookies you will for sure find yourself in a relaxing state of mind away from all the stresses of each day!

Love Triangle

Cheesecake? Brownie? My love is split. Luckily with these twisted love (in this case it is a good thing) brownies I can have both. These delightful little bars are extremely moist and feature the perfect combination of delicate cheesecake and chewy brownie in every bite!


Being the cheesy person I am, I had to add pink and white chocolate decor to make these love brownies really capture some hearts!

Cherry Love Is In The Air

Nothing says Hello Sunshine like waking up to a warm cherry-luscious muffin in the morning. Looking into my freezer last night, I noticed a lonely bag of frozen cherries and knew that I wanted to make one of my favorite sweet muffin recipes.

Instead of using regular old muffin tins, I have some cutesy individual pans for fun cylindrical shapes. These muffins have a thick layer of streusel as a base and build up to a soft, cakey, moist muffin that has cherries sprinkled throughout.


















My sweet tooth drove me to add a light drizzling of frosting to add an extra touch of happiness because after all, sugar does make everything better! ☺ Oh and the pink is a special touch for the upcoming holiday!

My Baking On The Rise

Yippee! Even though the daunting task of my homework still awaits me, I am super excited to finally have created my blog. Granted, my baking is sloppy in comparison to most (so please bear with me), I still have fun creating sweet treats for everyone I love!
