I know…many of you make fun of my very long titles. They’re my trademark, what can I say? This weekend was a Crazy in the Kitchen weekend. Do you have those? Are there days you just can’t get yourself out of the kitchen no matter how hard you try or don’t try? Does your kitchen suffer with battle wounds like mine does in every nook and cranny?
I am afraid I have not been totally honest with you, my faithful readers. I look back on many posts and see things that have literally been sugar coated; made pretty for the camera, better than they truly appear in my kitchen. This cake slice is a perfect example.
Hello Friends,
You have officially been invited to my Easter cookie decorating party happening today on Sweet and Crumby. This is a virtual decorating party, so please use your imagination and jump right in.
Do you want a chick, an egg or a bunny to decorate? I have plenty as you can see. I also have a plethora of gorgeous, bright colors thanks to the nice people from McCormick who asked me if I wanted to host a give away. So I actually have real, live and in-the-house party favors for two readers of Sweet and Crumby! Continue reading
Sniff, sniff, cough, cough. Everyone and their mother (literally) is sick at my house. Do I sense a sniffle or two coming from your direction as well? I, doctor of nothing, prescribe to you a healthy dose of apples, topped with caramel, tucked inside sweet and tender, slightly salty crumbles.
I know, those of you who have been faithful followers since way back in the day (July) have seen it, been there, done that, but it seems I have alot of new followers and since I haven’t been baking this weekend, I will share this crazy delicious Devil’s Food cake with malted frosting.
This creamy, malted, chocolatey cake is as it implies…it is a whopper of a cake.
It’s everything a cake should be. First and foremost,
for it to be ALL THAT, it MUST BE chocolate
I can’t do anything normal, the obvious way, the “exactly according to the recipe” way. Sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn’t. Today it worked; really, really worked.
Let’s start at the beginning, shall we? I am a fool for April Fool’s Day. We celebrate big time over here and we even have had an April Fool’s Day birthday party since my daughter, Zoie, was born in early April (Sorry Grace, I believe you were the one who had the first piece of the mashed potato frosted meatloaf birthday “cake”).

Have you ever…
Fallen crazily in love?
Fallen down, way down, with no glimpse of the sky?
Fallen, literally, into a mud puddle, or down a flight of stairs or simply between the cracks?…
My husband’s fondest kitchen memory is of eating piping hot, sticky cinnamon rolls straight from the oven of a friend’s mom. At Mrs. Brooks’ house, growing teens—some who lived there and many who did not—would stand expectantly around the kitchen with their car greased hands and garage battle wounds and would stuff their mouths full while enjoying the great smells, tastes and companionship coming from her kitchen.
I have a confession to make…I am not great with surprises big or small. This includes gifts for others as well as gifts for myself. When I find a gift for someone that I just know is the perfect thing, I want to tell them immediately, not wait until the big day.
