On Sunday night, Kensington hosted her very own Ugly Sweater Party with some friends. When I asked her what she wanted on the menu, she said, “Mom, can you make a Chocolate Candy Cane Cake?”. Um, YEAH! Two of my…
Buttermilk Spice Cake
Mmmmmmm…my Buttermilk Spice Cake was so good that Kensington and I made it twice in one week! What’s not to love? A little cinnamon, some applesauce and a splash of buttermilk with a maple cream cheese frosting. It’s the perfect…
Coconut Buttermilk Layer Cake

Egg Nog Cheesecake
