Today is my daughter’s birthday! And for her birthday she tasked me with making a Shark cake. For those of you who don’t know, my daughter is a 23 year old grad student studying Physics at UT. She was home helping me coach cross country camp last week and she likes to come up with unusual birthday cake requests just to see what I will do. This is her Shark cake, and she said it was exactly what she had hoped for! #sharkcake #cakesofinstagram #birthdaycake #bakedfromscratch #homebaked #justdessertsbakehouse

June seems like an appropriate time for a Strawberries and Cream Cake. The McKenzie Willamette OR gets a cake that’s a little lighter, and a little less sweet this time around. #cakesofinstagram #summerdessert #bakedfromscratch #homebaked #strawberriesandcream #justdessertsbakehouse

It’s track season, and most of my baking has been for the team I help coach. These monster cookies were popular with our high school athletes. Peanut butter and oats make for great post race fuel! I chose to make them gluten free since we have a young person with celiac and some kids who are gluten intolerant. You can find the recipe (and the gluten free adaptation) on my site. #cookiesofinstagram #bakedfromscratch #homebaked #justdessertsbakehouse #monstercookies #glutenfree

We have had some wet and cold weather recently, but Spring is coming! Here is a very spring-like cake I made a few weeks back for a new baby girl. I’m hoping to see bright flowers in my garden soon! #cakesofinstagram #bakedfromscratch #homebaked #justdessertsbakehouse

Guinness Chocolate Baileys Whiskey Salted Caramel

Guinness Chocolate Baileys Whiskey Salted Caramel Cake. Say that three times fast! It’s the Irish booze trifecta just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. Really, this is a well balanced cake great for any day; we enjoyed it recently for my son’s birthday. He’s a full time law student and part time bartender, and he gave this cake rave reviews. #cakesofinstagram #stpatricksdesserts #guinnessirishstout #baileys #whiskey #chocolatecake #bakedfromscratch #homebaked #justdessertsbakehouse

Today is National Cherry Pie Day! For as long as I can remember, cherry pie has been a February treat. As a kid, our local bank would give a cherry pie as a gift if you signed up for a new checking account in February. It was worth switching banks to get a free pie! #nationalcherrypieday #piesofinstagram #cherrypie #februarydesserts #bakedfromscratch #homebaked #justdessertsbakehouse

Happy Valentine’s Day! Conversation Heart Cooki

Happy Valentine’s Day! Conversation Heart Cookies are a fun way to personalize treats for people in your life.

Need a simple, last minute treat for Valentine’s

Need a simple, last minute treat for Valentine’s Day?

On a recent trip to Austin my daughter and I visited an adorable candy store that sold toffee pretzels. They were ok, but it was a small pretzel twist for about $4, and the toffee was a bit soft and stale. She and I both agreed that it would be better as a pretzel rod, and it needed to be fresh!

Fast forward, and these are ready for Valentine’s Day. For about $10 total and 10 minutes of your time you can make an entire batch of these. While I made the toffee from scratch, a heath bar works just as well.

You need a bag of pretzel rods, some chocolate for melting, crushed toffee, and some white chocolate melted and tinted with food coloring to make it festive. Dip a pretzel rod into melted chocolate, roll in crushed toffee, and set it on parchment paper as it cools. Melt and tint white chocolate, and drizzle over the cooled pretzel rods.

Voila! A quick treat that is personalized and given with love. #quicktreats #nobakedessert #madewithlove #chocolatepretzels #valentinestreats #justdessertsbakehouse

February 11 is National Peppermint Patty Day so I bought a package of York Peppermint Patties and turned them into a cake!

Dark chocolate cake with layers of white peppermint filling, vanilla buttercream, chocolate ganache topping, finished with some peppermint patties on top.

Millionaire Cheesecake Bars! Shortbread crust, creamy vanilla cheesecake, sweet caramel, and dark chocolate ganache. Add a sprinkling of flaky sea salt to make it fancy!

I usually make a layer cake to celebrate the birthdays of the OR staff at McKenzie Willamette each month, but occasionally I like to mix it up. I developed this recipe recently, and my son said these were exceptional. I agree and wanted to share. So, these are available for the nurses today, AND the recipe is in my website which is linked in my bio for anyone who wants to make them! #cheesecake #dessert #chocolate #caramel #bakedfromscratch #homebaked #justdessertsbakehouse

Chocolate Mint Cream Pie! A cool and creamy pie that is all kinds of delicious. Full confession; I have been meaning to get this recipe up for ages because the pie is so simple and good, but life stuff kind of gets in the way sometimes. But it’s up now, and you can find it on my site which is linked in bio. I have a few more recipes coming your way ASAP! #piesofinstagram #chocolatemint #creampies #chocolate #pie #oreos #nobake #bakedfromscratch #homebaked #justdessertsbakehouse

Visiting my daughter at UT Austin and I had to bring some treats with me. Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Bars with a shortbread base traveled well enough on the plane. *A lot better than that layered birthday cake I flew with last time 🙂*

I was really hoping it would be warmer for my visit, but I look forward to spending time with my daughter. #bakedfromscratch #homebaked #peanutbutterchocolate #caramel #barcookies #justdessertsbakehouse
