Okay, so this is NOT my realm of desserts.
Cakes intimidate the you-know-what right out of me. I don't know what it is; they're just big and bulky and scream "CRUMB COAT!! CRUMB COAT!!" and look at me all menacing-like with their uneven edges and lack of interesting decoration.
(Note to others: when cakes begin talking to you, it's probably a good idea to speak

Birthday Cake S’mOreos
So Easter was yesterday.
Admittedly, Easter isn't one of my favorite holidays. One, I'm not a fan of the traditional food served. Ham and scalloped potatoes kind of give me the heebie jeebies. And aside from jelly beans, I am kind of blase with the rest of the candy selection. Don't even get me started on those scary chocolate bunnies with faces. When I eat chocolate, I'd

Cake Batter Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
A couple days ago I went to the dentist.
I don't want to brag or anything, but my dentist is kinda sorta high-tech. They'll let you listen to customized Pandora stations while they drill at your mouth, or you can watch movies on their flat screen TV that lowers above your head. The only thing missing is a cleaning robot named Rosie, but I'm convinced she is busy

Peeps Candy Bars: Spring Hop Along PEEPS Party!
I have a bone to pick with Easter.
Not the actual meaning of Easter itself, but the whole "Easter = chocolate rabbits, plastic eggs, etc" part.
I think food manufacturers are onto something when it comes to Easter candy. They KNOW that most people like myself are woefully incapable of resisting candy when it is dipped in pastel colors. Suddenly, the most

Samoa Magic Bars
So, as you may know, I recently returned to California from my long-weekend trip to NYC.
Needless to say, I'm glad I'm back but I super miss New York. It's AMAZING there. Truly incredible!
But as I was there (and spending 6 hours of my life staring outside of an airplane window headed home while a large-headed man snored next to me), I got to thinking that New York and

Almond Joy Magic Pie (For Pi Day!)
I'm baaaaaaaack.
And for a good reason.
Today is Pi Day!
No, I'm not a fan of math. In fact, we are mortal enemies. I mean, I tried to befriend math. I hung out one-on-one with it, I got to know it in depth, I listened to all its complicated problems and offered it like, eleventy different solutions, but most of the time, math was a real a-hole and never liked my

Rainbow Chip Cookie Cake
I've never been a big party person, but I actually love throwing parties.
Maybe because I like to have control over the food served, the decorations hung, and the people coming. Hello, creepy teenager houseparties are like my worst nightmare. There's never any cool decorations (or any at all, save for the strewn dirty socks on the floor), or really any food, except chips and

Rainbow Mini Cheesecakes
Not too long ago, I was petrified of scary movies.
Now, I suppose part of growing up is enjoying coffee after years of questioning why adults liked a hot, dark drink that tasted like death, and ultimately, enjoying scary movies. Respectively, of course, because I'm not grown up enough to enjoy coffee while watching a scary movie -- too much responsibility,

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
Oh mylanta. What have I done?
If I'm not mistaken, that's a ball of cookie dough surrounded by a fudgy brownie and then coated in chocolate and sprinkled with mini chips.
Whoooa.
Sometimes, I don't even know WHERE half my ideas come from. I literally operate like a mad scientist part of the time, throwing things together with my fingers crossed, hoping it'll work.

Strawberry Nutella Heart Pie Pops
Okay, so it's no surprise that I am beyond stupid paranoid. About everything.
Paranoid I'll get scary diseases if a mosquito bites my face. Paranoid that if I don't alarm my car one night, it'll be stolen in the morning. Paranoid that all envelopes have a personal vendetta against fingertips so I'll literally decimate the entire envelope as I open it improperly as to not
