The great peach bellini swiss roll FAIL of 2021. Or, expectations vs. reality.

Yum Welcome to volume three of my Boozy Bakes series: Caramel Appletini Cupcakes! Now, I’m not going to lie to you, I had my doubts about this one, guys. Green apple? In a cupcake? How does one even do that? Won’t it taste funky and fake? But I really enjoy a nice appletini, and I […]
