Vanilla Macarons with Chocolate Ganache

Macarons are my favorite cookie on earth! In 2015, I was able to sample several macarons in Paris; the best being from Ladurée. These babies take patience and attention to detail and I’ve had several disasters before mastering the technique. They are the best after sitting for 24 hours prior to being served.

Tie-Dye Cupcakes

It’s a cold, rainy day today which is a great excuse to bake (not that I really need an excuse). I really wanted a delicious vanilla cupcake but I wanted to make it more creative…so I thought tie-dye! They came out very pretty and I topped it off with silky vanilla buttercream. Delicious!

Shirley Temple Cupcakes

Shout out to The Curvy Carrot where I found this fantastic recipe. These cupcakes really do taste like a Shirley Temple. When I was young, I loved this beverage and since I don’t drink alcohol, I’m thinking I may need to revisit it.

Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes with Fluffy Vanilla Frosting

I have recently switched to cutting out dairy from my diet and I am on a mission to find sweets that I can enjoy and don’t taste like cardboard. This recipe is not only non-dairy, but it’s vegan and actually delicious! This is a basic vanilla recipe so you can additional ingredients to the batter such as rainbow sprinkles if you like funfetti cupcakes.
