Chocolately Peanut Buttery Goodness!

Sunday is my husband’s 45th birthday so tonight we baked cupcakes and a whole cake for the special occasion. Below is the recipe for the most decadent and delicious cake you'll ever make at home.

Think Reese’s Peanut Buttercup transformed into a cake. Delicious right? I can feel my hips growing as I am writing this post.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake (Split this recipe in half if you are going to bake cupcakes)
2 boxes of Duncan Hines Super Moist Triple Chocolate Fudge cake mix
2 containers of Duncan Hines Creamy Home Style Vanilla Frosting
1 cup creamy peanut butter
20 Reese’s mini peanut butter cups

Bake the cake as directed on the box and let it cool for at least an hour before frosting. In a mixing bowl combine vanilla frosting and peanut butter until it is creamy smooth. Frost cake in between layers and top only and cut up mini peanut butter cups to decorate the top. Serve with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

It's that simple. You don't even have to know how to bake (lord knows I don't).

Sweet tooth anyone?

Check out this over the top amazing birthday party for TV host Nancy O'Dell's daughter Ashby. My friend shared these pics with me that she found at my new favorite website, www.Hostesswiththemostess.com and their blog which you can read here.

The theme was Sesame Street and I think they did an amazing job without going over the top with cartoon character. YUMMY! When's the next party and can I come?









The favors. NICE!


Any party with a tower of cotton candy has got to be a smashing success. Am I right?

Cupcake Toppers

A friend introduced me to these precious cupcake toppers for birthday parties. I think they are adorable and you get a dozen for $10. What a steal!

But wait, it gets even better! The designer TomKat Studio makes party packages to coordinate with the tiny toppers too. I wish I saw these for my daughter’s birthday a few months ago. Love the favor tags, love the invites, love the banner, I just love everything. View the complete line of handmade party décor at www.theTomKatStudio.com.

Worthy of Our Attention

If you are going to follow my blog you’ll notice on occasion I like to highlight gorgeous accoutrements that are worthy of our attention. I stumbled across these cake toppers when searching for birthday cake ideas for my daughter’s birthday. I simply adore these toppers! The stunningly gorgeous detail in the crystals and this modern approach to an old tradition is irresistible.

Since I’ve been married for some time now it’s too late to tuck this away for a wedding idea, but I love the thought of having one for my daughter’s sweet sixteen. Let’s all take a moment to enjoy them.
