Yum I feel like I’ve been living in a season of indecisiveness. I’ve been faced with a terribly difficult career decision in the past few weeks, and I have finally decided to move on to a new job after many sleepless nights and soul-searching. With similar agonizing, I found myself incredibly indecisive over Round 7 […]

The Best Strawberry Daiquiri Cupcakes: Boozy Bakes V. 6 and my “awesome new gadgets” addiction.
Yum This weekend, I was treated to a bridal shower. I was super overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support at this event, and I am deeply grateful to everyone that attended. Not gonna lie though, I also liked getting presents. I really think it isn’t fair, because I am ridiculously easy to shop […]
Easy Chocolate Fluffernutter Cake: cutesy fault line and SO MANY DIRTY DISHES.
Yum While meandering through the Fancy Kroger on Saturday and contemplating what I was bringing to my family Easter celebration, I kept finding myself turning back to a display featuring that funky marshmallow creme stuff. It was looking at me. It wanted me to buy it. So, this Chocolate Fluffernutter Cake was born. Grab a […]
Easy Chocolate Fireball Whiskey Cupcakes: A unique boozy bake packed with cinnamon flavor!
Yum As documented in my post about my caramel appletini cupcakes, I have had to develop a relationship with the tiny liquor store in Clermont as part of my boozy bakes series. The proprietor of this slightly seedy establishment has greeted all of my questions like “will the alcohol in this tequila cook out in […]

Her husband Nathan requested something “blueberry and limoncello, and not too heavy,” so I set about developing stuff. I landed on this Blueberry Layer Cake with Boozy Lemonade Frosting, and I must say, […]
The Best Tequila Sunrise Cupcakes: Boozy Bakes Volume 2!
This cupcake is the second in my Boozey Bakes series, and it is one of my favorite college cocktails: the good old tequila sunrise. The sunrise element comes from two colorful ingredients: orange juice and grenadine (or that sugary cherry juice that is in the bottom of your maraschino cherry jar.). The tequila element comes from… tequila. Go figure.
Baileys Mudslide Cupcakes: Volume One of my Boozy Bakes!
Yum This weekend while working on these Bailey’s Chocolate Mudslide Cupcakes I invented something that really shouldn’t be allowed to exist: Baileys pastry cream. It is so indulgent and smooth and luscious and devastatingly caloric and utterly irresistible that I really shouldn’t be keeping it in the house. I am too weak. But more on […]
