Perry the Platypus Cake

February 4, 2013 By Brandy 9 Comments

We have some "Phineas and Ferb" fans in our home so for Aaron's 7th birthday I made him a Perry the Platypus cake. It was extremely simple and he loved it.

It stretched so much when I picked it up that it ended up being really thin and … [Read more...]

Every Day Desserts….Dressed Up

March 30, 2012 By Brandy 3 Comments

It's funny how the weather affects everything. The clothing you wear, the mood you are in, and the foods that end up on your menu. As the warmer weather is upon us, I instantly turn to quick prep foods that won't heat up the house. Salads, fruit, and grilled foods all start popping up on our menu. The same thing goes for desserts. Simple is key. And when the weather is nice out, the last thing I … [Read more...]
