I took your advice yesterday and listened to my body. It was not up for a run, so I walked with my buddy.
80% of our walks/runs end like this. Followed immediately by, “Mom can I come inside now?”
Since I bet you don’t want to hear about my walk, I thought I’d stick to the general Wednesday blogland theme. A lot of y’all post about what you ate. But instead of reposting those food pics from my week, I thought I’d do something different! Dessert makes life more fun in my book, so here are some dessert ideas for any spring/Easter celebrations you might have coming up!
These are all desserts I made, some inspired by things I’ve seen online (most likely Pinterest).
Bunny butt!
Bug cupcakes (aka an excuse to eat a cookie and a cupcake and call it 1 dessert)
A very simple bundt cake.
Birds’ Nests cupcakes
Lemon Meringue Cake (not as kid friendly but oh so delicious).
I hope some of these inspire you or get you into the spring-time mood 🙂
Do you love to bake?
Does your dog like to get wet/dirty and then immediately want to come inside?
The bunny butt is adorable and my nephews would love it! I love making cake/cupcakes, which is also my favorite food group haha. My best creation was a brown sugar pound cake with brown butter icing. Sooooo good. I ate like 2/3 of that cake myself.
Thank you!! My favorite food group too 🙂 I think I remember you talking about this cake before- had me drooling that time as well. Sounds like the best thing ever 🙂
Wow creative! I have all these Pinterest recipes pinned but none actually made….I love the cupcake with the bug on it and the bunny is pretty funny.
Thanks!
LOL your dog is cute!
I do like baking but my favorite is apple pie, so I usually end up doing my baking in the fall.
Haha thank you!! YUMMM! Homemade apple pie is the best!
I would eat that lemon meringue cake whole. I love lemon meringue! I enjoy baking but am not the best at it… I’m more at-home with cooking!
And yes, my dogs want to come in and rub themselves all over the carpets/rugs when they get dirty. Those are the times I confine them to the linoleum floored safety of the laundry room!
Lol I’d be right there with you chowing down on that cake- soooo good!
LOL oh no!!! Yes, there are times when we have to keep my dog on the hardwood. They just love that smell of dirt 😉
WOW! You’re sooo good, I suck at baking mostly because I avoid it. I am scared that I will eat it all in a matter of a day. So unless, I have people coming over or going to some sort of reunion, I don’t bake lol. The bunny butt is too cute!!!! ❤ xoxo
Aww thank you! Haha YES, I have to bake for people/occasions or I will need larger pants 😉
Haha, bunny butt. Does it smell like bunny farts?
Personally I hate baking – too much measuring. When I cook, I just throw stuff in, I like that better.
Yes it does- but bunny farts smell like cotton candy. Haha I def get that. Cooking can be a lot more freeing. Baking is uptight- like me 😉
I love the bunny butt, ha ha! I enjoy baking but sometimes fail at it 😦
Thank you! We all fail at it sometimes! That’s part of the fun 🙂
I should just start preparing myself to be hungry when I look at your blog. All of this look so delicious and the bunny butt is awesome. Going to have to pass that idea along to the nieces and nephews.
LOL sorry 😉 Def pass it along! So much fun to make! Although it was hard when I had to cut into it haha.
I love to bake! I couldn’t live without it, exercise + baking = my therapy. That bunny butt idea is the cutest thing ever.
Ahhh we are the same!!! ❤ Haha thank you 🙂
Those nest cupcakes are so cute and I think I could actually make them. I gave up on making anything cute last weekend and just bought some cupcakes for a get together that I had. I’m very impressed with you skills!
You could totally make them! The candy eggs do all the work for ya 😉 Thank you!!!
I don’t love to bake…or even like to bake. but I love to eat baked goods! that last one looks especially delicious!
LOL! Well we were made for each other then! I love to bake FOR people! 😉 Kyle always jokes and says I’m going to make him fat because I always ask him if he wants me to bake/cook him something
gotta love sweets! They all look so yummy!
Thank you!
awww these are so cute!! i’m not a big dessert person but i like to bake. that bunny butt is adorbs.
Thank you!!!!
I love that bunny butt cake! I try to bake and it’s very hit and miss. I blame living at altitude!
Haha thank you! Altitude definitely can complicate baking!! So that’s a valid excuse haha!
Those are all great ideas! I like to say that I enjoy baking but I do it so rarely that it kinda doesn’t seem true! You, though, are quite the culinary artist!
Aww thank you!!
Yes to all, please!
LOL
Those desserts all look delicious! I love baking seasonal goodies and meals. It drives my hubby crazy but every season change I get to start with a whole new set of recipes!
Our dog loves to get disgusting and then bring it inside. She was born and raised (literally) on a farm and we adopted her as an adult so she really loves being outside. Her favorite activity in NC was to go swimming in the pond at our farm and then try to jump in the car… I don’t think so!
Thank you! Haha I’m totally the same way!! So much fun to try new things and change things up!
LOL OMG!!!!! That sounds hilariously awful haha! My dog has been known to jump in the pool and then immediately roll around in the dirt…
I do love to bake, but your baked goods come out much more attractively than mine do. Those bunny buns are hysterical!!
Aww thank you!! Baked good don’t have to be attractive- I’ll still eat ’em 😉
I love to bake but I need to step up my gluten free game drastically!
Ooo gluten free baking (I think) is so much harder than regular baking! Good for you!!
Agreed! Let’s be real though, I tend to just go the easy route with froyo and chocolate
LOL I’m totally down with that
I was I loved to bake, but unfortunately I am terrible at it and would much rather cook some meat or veggies. If someone wants to bake something for me though, I am totally okay with that.
Haha well I just so happen to love to bake FOR people 😉
My daughter loves it when I bake with her…we really don’t do it enough. But in all fairness, if I baked more, I would weigh like 500lbs
Aww yes, some of my favorite memories were baking/cooking with my mom and grandmas. LOL same here- this is why I have to limit my baking to special occasions 😉
