I'm more of a pie person than a cake person. I had a pie bar at my wedding instead of a traditional wedding cake. I'll reach for the pie at a party before I'll reach for a cake. Pie is just a better dessert option in my opinion. Of all the pies in the world,… Continue reading Dutch Apple Cake

Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake
One of my fondest memories of my grandmother is helping her make coffee cake. It was her signature recipe and one that she would make for special occasions, holidays, and any time a grandchild would ask for it. It was a simple recipe made from hot roll dough topped with a streusel crumb topping. It… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake
Marbled Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
I'm a little late to the spring party, and I think Oklahoma is, too. It's been 30-40 degrees the past few nights. I haven't managed to venture outside in 2-3 days since my allergies have been going haywire. I'm missing the little blossoms on the trees, the weeds that are in bloom, and the cheery… Continue reading Marbled Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
Cinnamon Roll Cake Balls
It has been a lazy weekend in the Welcher household. Since we had planned on being snowed in on Saturday, we had nothing in the works to get out of the house. Neither the snow nor the ice came but our plans were unwavering: stay on the couch, in our pajamas, for 24 hours or… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Cake Balls
Christmas Cake Mix Cookies
I'm about to run out of room in my kitchen with all the cookie-baking I've been doing over the last few weeks. I only have one cookie jar, and four or five Christmas containers. I've been taking most of the Christmas cookies to work (which I think my co-workers appreciate), but I still have an… Continue reading Christmas Cake Mix Cookies
Piña Colada Tres Leches Cake
Rob and I held our first dinner party as a married couple last weekend for Cinco de Mayo. I was up early that Saturday (which is normal) and prepared for our meal: a taco bar with my delicious honey-lime poblano chicken tacos and regular beef. All of the fixings were pre-cut that morning: lettuce, tomato,… Continue reading Piña Colada Tres Leches Cake
White Texas Sheet Cake
There are a few culinary treasures that the state of Texas holds near and dear to its heart. I'm talking chicken fried steak, cheese enchiladas with chili gravy, Texas toast, and steak-on-garlic sandwiches. Brisket is done best in the great state of Texas. Iced tea is always served with sugar on the side. One sweet… Continue reading White Texas Sheet Cake
Pumpkin Hot Chocolate Cake
Pumpkin spice lattes are back at Starbucks. There's a crisp cool breeze in the air. Leaves are....not crunching under my feet, but that's neither here nor there. Fall is pretty much in full swing in Oklahoma. The return of the PSL marks the annual awakening of the inner fall-lovers in all of us. I have… Continue reading Pumpkin Hot Chocolate Cake
Chocolate Banana Cake Balls
I've peeled potatoes many times in my life. In fact, when I was younger, I used to beg my mom to let me peel them. Peeling potatoes and snapping green beans were fun to me. I was weird kid, I guess. Since I've been peeling potatoes for the better part of three decades, you could call… Continue reading Chocolate Banana Cake Balls
Apple Cake Bars
We're in that weird time of year where it's not quite spring, but also not quite winter. Valentine's Day has come and gone, Easter is still months away, and summer clothing has inundated store aisles everywhere. It's like this time of the year has a constant identity crisis. Even the weather doesn't know what to… Continue reading Apple Cake Bars
