Raise your hand if you have a guilty pleasure food. Don’t kid yourself; everyone’s hand should be up! In my household, Nutella is a definite pantry staple. We almost always have it on hand. Then, inevitably, the Nutella mysteriously disappears. The main suspect is always my mother, but really any one of us could be … Continue reading Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (homemade Nutella)
October really is the best month of the year. The summer heat is dying down, the mornings are chilly, and so sweater weather is finally upon us. Midterm madness is threatening the sanity of students... Pumpkins are in season, apple picking is in full swing, and bonfires are enjoyably toasty. And of course, we can’t … Continue reading Pumpkin Muffins with Spiced Icing
Move over cream; peaches have a new BFF- best flavor friend. This is one of the easiest recipes ever! All you need is: blueberries, peach filling (canned or homemade) and a frozen puff pastry sheet. I think this is one of the best summer treats because it can be enjoyed warm with ice cream, or … Continue reading Blueberry Peach Galette
It’s Shark Week, the best week of the year! I love Shark Week. I’ve always been a lover of sharks. As a kid, I would sit in my school library reading all the shark books available, or scour the internet for shark videos and documentaries. I wanted to be a shark researcher and marine biologist … Continue reading Shark Attack Cupcakes
We all know about raspberry lemonaid...now who’s ready for raspberry limeade?? This combo was suggested to me by one of my followers on Instagram. I’m so glad she did...because these scones are THE BOMB! So good, my great grandmother (the very baking inspiration) who doesn’t eat many sweets ate them and raved to my mother … Continue reading Raspberry Limeade Scones
Cue typical food blogger rant. Growing up with the last name “Brown” was difficult for me. To kids, it can be compared to some pretty gross things, but I won’t go into detail here. For one, I find it to be the most boring name ever. I always loved my first and middle names, McKayla … Continue reading Fudgy Brownies
It’s now officially summer. And yes, I realize I keep saying this. Being 85°F and up for most of the day, I’m forced to bake late in the afternoon and/or into the night. Something about having the oven on during the heat of day is so unappealing. And with my house lacking central air cooling, … Continue reading Blueberry Muffins & Lemony Glaze

Breakfast time! I’ve mentioned before how much I love breakfast foods- I could eat eggs, hash browns, and especially bacon, ALL DAY LONG! This isn’t the first breakfast themed cupcakes and it probably definitely won’t be the last (cinnamon toast crunch cupcakes, anyone?) The first was a “pancake” muffin-like creation, with a maple frosting. It … Continue reading Browned Butter Maple Cupcakes
Good morning and welcome back to the Cakeasaurus. Never mind. I thought it would sound cool to open this post like a talk show, but nah. I’ve been a bit MIA here lately, due to lack of time and a major writer’s block, a terribly unfortunate combination for a food blogger. Not to fear though. … Continue reading Blackout Berry Macarons
