So there’s this gene that men don’t have, called The Chocolate Cake Gene. I mean, I’m sure some men occasionally enjoy a piece of chocolate cake, but they don’t need it, do they? Some men (like my husband) don’t even care if they never have a piece of chocolate cake again. Which is crazy to…

Chocolate Hazelnut Cupcakes
This has been a big week for us. BIG 🙂 My friend, George took my new author photos (bloopers here), Spunky Facebook likes reached 100,000, AND the blog got a new ‘do. What do you think? I’m so in love with it. And so in love with my husband who put it all together. He’s…
Gluten Free Carrot Muffins
I used my Carrot Cake, and turned it into muffins! Zoe asked for gluten free carrot muffins for her birthday sleepover with her best friend, since carrot cake is her best friend’s favorite cake 🙂 She also asked for a vintage turquoise typewriter for her birthday. Her reaction was so great! Gluten Free…
Apple Spice Cake with Maple Candy Glaze
We always add mulling spices to our apple cider. Even the cider that says “spiced” isn’t strong enough for us. Mulling spices include cinnamon, cloves, ginger, orange and lemon peel. If you’ve never added mulling spices to your apple cider, I highly recommend it. Spiced apple cider and maple candy are perfect for fall and…
Ooey Gooey Butter Cake (dairy-free, egg-free, grain-free)
Two words. Ooey. Gooey. When I was little this was my favorite cake. Not surprising since it’s sort of similar to a cheese danish, and cheese danish was my second favorite thing to eat. For years I tried to find the recipe for this cake, but we couldn’t remember its name. I searched for things like,…
Gluten Free Carrot Cake
I can’t get enough carrot cake lately. I’ve been making my friend Elana’s gluten free carrot cake, and I’ve been making my own. Can one ever have enough carrot cake? If I had to choose just one kind of cake, and I could never eat another kind again, it would have to be carrot cake. We like…

Strawberry Gluten Free Cake
I’m so excited to be sharing this recipe with you as part of Iris’s Birthday Cake Challenge! When I created my Coconut Buttercream dairy free frosting for those of you who can’t use my nut frostings, I knew I had to make this strawberry gluten free cake next. Zoe and Ashley both have a birthday…
Dairy Free Frosting : Coconut Buttercream
A few days ago I told you that I had made a dairy free frosting using coconut butter, and I was so excited. An hour later it separated—Oh no! I’ve been working on it ever since. Six tries later, and it’s exactly how I wanted it. Having gone through so many failed attempts I highly…
