GOOO GAMECOCKS!! Sorry, I’m a fan. These yellow cupcakes are topped in tinted buttercream icing to match the school’s colors, garnet and black. They’re topped off with helmets and footballs that are made out of chocolate. To get the garnet color with the chocolate, I mixed red chocolate with a little bit of dark chocolate. Read More

Dark chocolate cake mix made with strong coffee, mixed with coffee icing and covered with dark chocolate. These should help you perk up in the morning!

The word “favorite” doesn’t even do justice for these cookies. Whenever I make a batch of these, they disappear faster than anything else I’ve ever made. Even when I talk about them in front of people who have had them, they start asking questions as to when I’m going to make them again…they really areRead More
This is a 3-layer 9 inch double chocolate cake with chocolate chips, coffee and mocha icing. The cake mix is super moist and thick, one of those cakes that makes you say, “Mmmm,” when you bite into it. This is the same recipe I used for the mocha cupcakes, only as a cake. I usedRead More
