Coconut Rum Cheesecake

Party time!

I've mentioned before how me and my mom always have a girls weekend when my brothers and dad go hunting or fishing, and this weekend is no exception.

Learning to Bake Your Cake and Eat It Too: Chocolate Coconut Rum Cake

I have a confession...

Food blogging has made me fat.

There I said it! It's out!

Quacks 43rd Street Bakery

I love bakeries.

I mean who doesn't? Fresh bread and sweet treats for whatever your sweet tooth is craving. Does it get any better than that? 

In Honor of all the Boston Marathon Victims and Their Families, Boston Cream Pie In a Jar

This post is a little more serious than many of my other posts. 

Everyone's heard about the bombs during the Boston marathon which is such a tragedy. I heard about it through a customer coming into the restaurant, then watched in horror the footage and photos from the horrible scene on TV. 

Cherry Almond Cupcakes

I love weddings.

I'll admit i'm one of those girls who just loves dressing up to go to a wedding, even if I don't have a date, and seeing the happy couple say those 2 magical words, "I do" proposing their undeniable love to each other.

Boozy Mini Pecan Pie Cupcakes

You know those moments in school when you take a test and you think to yourself, "I totally aced that test!" Only to get the test back and find out you failed.

Yeah, those times suck.

Lucky for me though that didn't happen this time. This time I got my midterm test back and found out I got a 98!

Bailey's Irish Cream Cheesecake

Oh the last weekend of spring break....

The last couple of days to enjoy blissful freedom before it's back to the books once again and the constant stressful knot in your stomach resumes...

I don't know about ya'll but i'm not ready to go back yet. How about we get just one more week off. Yes?

Chocolate Caramel Booze Ball

As St. Patricks Day grows closer the Irish recipes keep coming!

These cake balls are not your ordinary cake balls.

Dirty Irish Cupcakes

March has arrived!

Italian Cream Prune Cake

Do you ever have one of those days where you just cannot think or have any inspiration for anything? All your ideas seem stupid and you can't decide what to make?

That was me the day I made this cake.

Chocolate Sin Cake

Have you ever felt so strongly about something, so passionate about it, but you just can't get the right words out to explain it?

Nothing you say does it justice.

Chocolate Souffle

This past weekend all the guys in the house went down to the coast to go fishing, so me and my mom had a girls weekend. 

When I was really young I always cried whenever the guys left, I wanted my brothers and dad here with us. But my mom showed me how much fun it is to be free from the guys for a while. 

Whiskey Chocolate Chip Praline Cake

Hello, my name is Sarah. I enjoy movies, dancing, and long walks on the beach.

But most of all I enjoy sitting by the fire eating cake.

Tres Leches Cake with Dulce De Leche

I've always wanted to throw a big dinner party. Some kids dream of living a rockstar life, concerts every night, and everyone knows their name. 

Me?

I dream of hosting dinner parties for close friends. Of bringing people joy with my food. 

Creating amazing meals to share with others and have a good time.

Simple but classy.

Flourless Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Orange Liqueur

I'm in shock.

I honestly didn't think anyone ever read my blog, that I was just writing to the void of space that is the internet, only to be seen by robot minds.

But over the weekend Austin Chronicle made a bunch of top ten lists in Austin, and one category was for food bloggers. 

While I didn't actually make it in the top ten, I was listed as an honorable mention, and I couldn't have been more surprised! 

Better Than Starbucks Lemon Pound Cake

Pound cake is underrated. 

German Chocolate Cheesecake Cake

I'm a very bad decision maker. No matter what it is, it's very hard for me to make up my mind. 

My mom: "Where do you want to go eat?"

Me:"Uh... this place looks good, but so does that one. I don't know!"

Story of my life right there.

Italian Cream Cupcakes

Today was a very special day for a very great old friend of mine.

Lemon Raspberry Truffle Cake

This weekend I am at my grandparents house who live in San Angelo. Every year, for as long as I can remember, we have always gone to the Christmas in Ole For Concho here in San Angelo. It's tradition! I was very excited to get off work for it. Even though it's warm outside, the traditions make it feel like Christmas. Lights on outside the house, fort concho, christmas trees and Christmas movies.

We went to a special showing of the movie "A Christmas Story" at Tinseltown this past Wednesday and let me tell you it was fun! I don't know if i've ever watched the whole movie from beginning to end before then, but it always makes it feel like Christmas.

Pumpkin Crunch Cake

Merry Christmas! 

This is my favorite time of year! Are ya'll as excited as me?!

I try and celebrate the holiday traditions as much as I can, although it gets harder and harder every year as my schedule gets busier and busier!

Christmas shopping, baking, school, work, parties! It gets crazy!
