Cookie Monster Pumpkin

October 31, 2014

Happy Halloween! Last weekend, my pumpkin entered into my family’s annual Halloween Party was this Cookie Monster Pumpkin! BONUS POINTS because it was interactive. While I didn’t win, I had so much fun making it. I used a small craft pumpkin from Target, ping pong balls and a sharpie for the eyes, and blue paint for the skin. At the party, I displayed him on a platter with Entenmann’s Cookies and…

Zombie Cookies

October 27, 2014

Clearly a “nailed it” post. These were so cute. We saw a post on Not Quite Nigella for Voodoo Doll cookies and thought they were adorable. We used a sugar cookie mix to make these little Zombie cookies. Fatima did a great job with the decorations and improvised when we lost a few limbs. We had a few mummy cookies, mostly zombies, and human victims. When one of the cookies lost…

Monster Eye Cookies

October 27, 2014

These were too cute. Wilton sells these adorable little edible eyes. So we made some sugar cookies, dyed the dough, baked, and then added the eyes (RIGHT AFTER THEY CAME OUT OF THE OVEN). While we loved our little monster eye cookies, we totally adore Lil’ Luna’s.…

Witch Cupcakes

You have a million other things to do like clean up the mess in the kitchen and make sure everything is in its place. These wicked witch cupcakes are so cute and easy to make. If you’re going to make cupcakes, spruce them up with witches hats and straws. I…

Smores A La Mode

September 1, 2014

Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and all summer picnics in between are not a true party until you have some good smores. Add some ice cream to your smores for a cool-hot “smores a la mode” dessert. A few summers ago, we made these delicious peanut butter cup smores… This weekend, we would highly recommend smores a la mode……

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

August 8, 2014

Ice cream, ice cream, we all scream for ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKES! The last time I had one of these was when I looked like this: Well…maybe a little older than that haha. My coworker sent me a link to Baked Bree’s Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes (she’s a huge fan), and I was inspired to make these for one of the summer Fridays I had to go into work. I used…

Colleen’s Banana Bread

July 14, 2014

My sister made some delicious banana bread at Christmas last year, and again about a month ago. Last week, some of our bananas didn’t make it though the heat wave here in the city, so Fatima thought we should make some banana bread. So I called my sister and requested her recipe. Banana bread is a great way to use your bananas that may have browned too much. Rather than…

A perfect creation for your next party or hosted brunch. Do you want to make these cupcakes? They are really easy to make with boxed cake mix or from scratch!

Super Bowl Cupcakes

February 27, 2014

It’s never too late to post something, right? It’s been really busy in the Marquis-Sow household. Fatima’s been swamped with work, going about 7 days a week straight, coming back at midnight, and I’ve been swamped with my accounting class. Figures, right? The semester where I’m taking accounting, Fatima is in the trenches of busy season. For throwback Thursday, I’m going to discuss our Super Bowl cupcakes. For Super Bowl,…

Apple Crisp Cheesecake

February 11, 2014

Close your eyes and think of a time when you were outside during the peak of fall. If you can think of a time when you were in the northeast (dare I say New England?) then you’ll be more in tune to what I’m describing. Feel the crisp autumn air around you, listen to the ruffling of the leaves scraping the road as they tumble away, and the smell of…

Snickers Brownie Bites

December 24, 2013

Hot off the press! We just made these exquisite snickers brownie bites from The Domestic Rebel. They are to die for and you need to make them this week. I love snickers. Stephanie and I make it our daily lunch tradition to grab a snickers from the little corner shop before heading back to the real world. And if you love snickers too, you’ll love these snickers brownie bites, too. Head…
