Hey guys! I wanted to share our latest home renovation with you all. We recently purchased a home that did not have a fireplace. After much consideration we finally decided to build a faux fireplace with a built in heater. It was really affordable and only cost around $350 for supplies. The bottom part of fireplace is portable.
Check the video below for our before and after journey!!
At first, I was nervous the faux fireplace would look really fake. We almost installed a shelving unit. But I have to admit, the finished product adds a nice touch to our living room. It feels cozier and warmer than before. Hope this inspires you to yours in your future renovations.
Hey guys! I know its been a while. But I'm finally back with a post to help organize small pantries.
I know that's random...lol. But we bought a house with a extremely small food pantry and I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to fit more items in my current space without making it look junkie.
The over the door spice rack and the under the shelf baskets both came from Amazon.com.
Here is the YouTube video I recently uploaded to my channel. I go into more detail about how I put everything together. Hopefully it will help you guys out.
Hey guys! I was bored and decided to make a Reese's Peanut Butter Cake. Nothing too complicated but very very good. Check out the video below for more details! Thanks for watching and Happy Baking!
So excited to share one of my favorite desserts. It's super simple and easy....Oreo Truffles!!
I usually make these for special occasion and they taste amazing. Some may call them Oreo
Balls but they're the same thing. The only difference is, I like to drizzle mine with chocolate
instead of covering them completely. It's a little too sweet for me and tastes more like candy
when they're completely covered. It's made with three simple ingredients and extremely
quick to make! Check out my YouTube video for more details. Thanks again and God bless!
Inspired completely by Pinterest, I set my sights on making an ice cream cake this year for my son's 6th birthday. It was super quick and easy so I decided to share it with you guys.
Ingredients:
12 Ice Cream Sandwiches
16 ounce Container of Whipped Cream
Caramel and Chocolate Syrup
1/2 Gallon of Ice Cream (your flavor of choice)
Directions:
Line a 9"x13" dish with wax paper or plastic wrap. Spread softened ice cream evenly on the bottom of the dish (use the entire container). Next, layer with ice cream sandwiches. Gently press each one into the ice cream layer below. Place in freezer until ice cream is firm (usually take 1 to 1.5 hours). Remove from freezer once firm and place a serving tray larger enough to cover the dish. Flip ice cream cake over and remove the wax paper or plastic wrap. Spread softened whipped cream over the ice cream cake. Drizzle with syrup!!!
It all started with me asking my nephew what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday. "Minecraft, I want a Minecraft cake!" " I have to admit that I have been asked in the past to make a Minecraft cake but they wanted the pixilated look which is labor intensive and requires a lot fondant I thought to myself, there has to be a simpler way to make this cake without all the fuss of fondant. For all the Moms, Aunts, or beginner cakers out there that want to know how to pull off a simple version of this cake...here it is!!
Tools:
Spoon
Spatula
Sharp knife
Grass Tip
Coupler
Decorators bag
Minecraft figurines
Cake board
Two 9"x13" chocolate cakes
Green Buttercream (around 5 cups)
Blue Buttercream (1 cup)
Directions:
Place one chocolate 9"x13" cake on cake board. Using spatula, thinly frost top of cake with green icing. Don't worry about crumbs in your coat because you will be adding another layer of frosting that will cover it later .
Cut second 9"x13" cake into cut three pieces:
1. Square shape - 4"x4"
2. F shape - 6"x6"
3. L shape - 3"x4"
Final arrangement will look like picture below.
Place both on corners of the cake and thinly frost the tops.
With grass tip, cover tops of the frosted areas with green frosting.
Hold tip at 90 degrees, gently squeeze and pull up.
See picture below.
Leave area, about 4"x6," unfrosted. Using back of spoon, add blue frosting to uncovered area. Once covered, make peaks with spoon. To make peaks, make "S" shaped design and then pull away at 45 degree angle. It will resemble ways.
Add figurines wherever you see fit! For my details, see video below.Have fun and happy caking!!
I finally got around to making a cake for one of the biggest trends right now....the mustache!
I recently had a birthday party for my son Jase, who turned one, and my husband John.
It was so much fun and it's such a cute theme for all ages!!
Once I decided I was going to have a mustache bash and I picked out the cake design, I knew I wanted to do a tutorial and share it with you guys. The cake looks complicated but its actually very easy. It basically comes down to four steps:
Step One: Bake cake in a round pan (any size you want)
Step Two: Cut a yin yang pattern into cake
Step Three: Turn one side over and align pieces making the mustache design
Step Four: Frost cake
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did and as always Happy Caking!!
