I enjoy cooking. When I was single, I would throw dinner parties to highlight my cooking skills. I had subscriptions to Bon Appetit and Gourmet magazines. I would make homemade tomato sauce with pancetta, rosemary and porcini mushrooms and simmer it all day. I would make the ravioli and run it through my gourmet pasta machine. My pear sorbet with pear compote was famous in my circle of friends. But, I must say, I would much rather BAKE than COOK.
A few months ago , I discovered this blog, Bakerella, who shares my same passion. I made her cake lollipops for my birthday a few weeks ago. Recently, she posted a recipe of brownies with chocolate chip cookie dough baked inside and covered in chocolate ganache....ooohhhh baby!
She makes the most artful cupcakes. She claims she is not a professional, but just look at these beauties! How cute are these for Easter?
Here is one of her famous cake lollipopswith a bikini-clad Teddy Graham.
Are you kidding me? It just makes me want to throw
a pool party just so I can make these!
Wondering what to do with pink stuffed Oreos?Make a pink panda bear cupcake of course!
Cake smothered in Reese's Peanutbutter Cups...oh my!This will be Matthew's birthday cake in September!
Is your mouth watering yet?
Is your mouth watering yet?What do you like to bake?
Go and bake something for someone you love today!
Of course after you check out more fun pink stuff at Beverly's.
Happy Pink Saturday!

I love that blog too. She is always posting the best things. I'm going to be making the little mini pies she did for Trinity's school on Valentine's Day. I may have to try them out before hand to see how they are. LOL

Oh, these are the absolute cutest things I've ever seen, Donna! I tried to make snowmen cupcakes at Christmas, and they ended up a little bit "off." LOL! I did a post on it, and I served them anyhow. But you obviously know what you're doing! Don't these just make you want to live in a sugarplum world? Cuteness personified.
Happy Pink Saturday!

I do love to bake, but I would rather have one from each picture. Um Yum!!!
Happy Pink Saturday, Donna.
Wow is she talented! If she's not a professional baker/decorator, I don't know who is.
When I do get an urge to bake, it's usually a sweet bread loaf of some type. :o)
I hafta add her to my list of coolest blogs so I can reameber the site. What super talent she has..these are just too mouth watering..:). Happy Pink Saturday and have a lovely week. :)

I'd much rather bake as well...the end result is always so much sweeter!
I'm so jealous if you have a pink KithenAid - I just have a boring white one.
Hi Donna!
making my way to the Pink Saturday girls that I couldn't get to. Wow, it has taken me three days to leave 147 comments but I didn't want to leave anyone out! This has been so much fun!
Wow, all that pink goodness must take a lot of dedication! Since I'm on Weight Watchers...it was nice to view what I would have gorged on in the past! LOL!!
Great Pink post!
Deanna :)
Very entertaining post! Such beautiful cupcakes. Love the bunnies and the teddy in the swimsuit- too cute!
My specialty?/ Lemon squares.
