Frosting

Oreo Stuffed Brownies

April 10, 2014 by Kay 2 Comments

Oreo Stuffed Brownies are made with a home made brownie recipe that is stuffed with Oreo’s and topped with frosting and sprinkles.

These brownies are layers of pure bliss. You bite into the frosting, then comes the soft brownie bite and then you hit the crispness of the chocolate cookie and finally the creaminess of the cookie center. I love it when desserts give you layers of different textures.

The brownie mix in Oreo Stuffed Brownies is very thick so it will take a little bit to spread it in the pan and to cover the layer of Oreo’s. I used a canned frosting that come with the sprinkles but you could easily use the frosting recipe I used in this recipe, Espresso Brownies with White Chocolate Frosting.

This is a great item to make for a bake sale, the chocolate layers and frosting are really appealing and it’s hard to say no to a brownies, especially one with frosting and Oreo’s mixed in.

Layer half of the brownie batter in the pan.

Don’t they look delicious?

Enjoy!

Cinnamon Fudge Cake

March 17, 2014 by Kay 17 Comments

Cinnamon Fudge Cake is a decadent, chocolate & cinnamon filled cake that comes alive in your mouth and it makes you want more!

I don’t normally pair chocolate and cinnamon together, but in this case it really works. You bake this cake on a 9 x 12 baking sheet, so the cake to frosting ratio is perfect. I tend to like more frosting than cake, so this is the perfect cake for me.

When I bake goodies in my kitchen for my blog I tend to take some of the baked goods to work with me to share with my fellow co-workers. I will be honest with you, after my hubby Mr. B and I had a slice, it was evident that this cake would not be shared with my co-workers.

I will tell you that I microwaved my piece of cake for ab out 20 seconds and it helps to soften the frosting, and it is oh so perfect 🙂

Pour the batter onto a 9 x12 baking sheet.

This is the cake after it comes out of the oven.

Pour the frosting on the warm cake.

Spread the frosting over the cake.

Look at the frosting to cake ratio.

You can’t eat just one bite.

Eat two slices!

Two is better than one.

Chai Cupcakes

The ever popular chai tea is transformed into a cupcake and a tasty frosting tops off this unique dessert.

Chai Cupcakes

Are you a fan of Chai Tea? You can drink it hot or cold and has numerous spices in it.

Chai Cupcake with tasty frosting.

Chai tea is about the only tea that I like, the base is black tea but that comes in second to the taste of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and cloves with a splash of black pepper.

I know the spices sound a bit strong, but actually the flavors blend well and the frosting really rounds out this dessert.
