Anyone that steps into a kitchen to bake at one point must face the inevitable...You need to know how to make a pie crust. Now don't get me wrong, it was years even decades into my baking career that I even dared to make a pie crust. I did what many do, I either A) bought that roll out dough in the dairy section or B) bought one ready to bake from the freezer section. That worked for a while, a sprinkle of sugar, a brushing of butter and you do fine to pass off an okay pie crust but as you bite into that pie with that wonderful filling you prepared you can't help but feel like a cheep date for having skimped on the crust..  Yeah we've all done it. Tucked tail and ran to the store instead of just making the darn thing yourself. It shouldn't be difficult, I mean you can make a souffle while a baby screams and it not fall. You managed to make that sugar free gluten free egg free cake your twelfth cousin thrice removed on your mother's side wanted for her wedding edible...

Saw these on  Sweet Sugar Belles  site and just had to make some! And  I of course had to make a quick cake to go along with the cookies, with marshmallow buttercream.

It has been a long time since I was able to make a post here and still rather busy with everything but here is a quick update. That's all folks!

You have all been to a local place that served up the best apple dumplings you had ever eaten. It was your favorite dessert and probably a place you snuck off to just to grab one from time to time. So, you try to whip them up at home and either A) They fall apart or B) take too much effort to bother. You end up going back and dropping a lot of cash on them, because well they are just sooooo good! Yeah, well those times are over. Here is a very quick and simple recipe that some of the ingredients might just surprise the heck out of you! I ran across this recipe years ago and tweaked it a bit to fit my own personal taste. 1 Large Apple – Which ever is your favorite 1 Can Grands Flaky Crescent Rolls 1/2 Cup of Butter 1/2 Cup of White Granulated Sugar 1/4 Cup Packed Light Brown Sugar 2 Teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract Pinch of Ground Nutmeg 6 Ounces of Mountain Dew (I am not kidding!) Preheat your oven for 350 degrees and get out a glass baking pan....

Cakes, good. Crepes, better. Guinness, good. Irish Cream, better. Chocolate, good. Frosting, better. A Chocolate Guinness Crepe Cake with Irish Cream Whipped Frosting.... Top of the Morning To You, You Just Found The Pot Of Gold At The End Of The Rainbow, Holy Mary Mother Of God, Let Me Say A Few Hail Marys, This Is Sinful, Yes Please Pass Another Slice!!

Top of the morning to you! (Yeah, okay done with that.) It is late and I am tired. I promised that I would do a quickie for my St. Patricks Day Cupcakes and here I am. ^_^ I made these last year and they were a huge hit. These are super simple cupcakes that anyone can honestly do no matter where you are or what you have. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, these are sure to please anyone this St. Patricks Day. I normally go with a simple Chocolate Cupcake Recipe and then do a mint flavored buttercream in favor for the holiday but feel free to change up what you do. The ones I did this year are just simple plain vanilla cupcakes, some chocolate, and all have a buttercream icing. Now, before we start I want you to head over to Glorious Treats and check out these various links. I swear it is the perfect place to get the best cupcake and icing recipe for this. Now I have used each recipe I am posting here for this very lesson and tested them myself. I know they work and give them my Surr...
