Sweet Emily

I love food, especially dessert. My mom taught me how to bake when I was a little girl, about 8 years old. Baking is one of the great joys in my life. I love making sweet treats for the people I love, and I want to share my love for baking with everyone on this blog. The recipes posted here are some of my own that I have written, some of my family's favorites, and some classics that inspire me. They are meant to be shared, and enjoyed by all. Please feel free to save any or all of them.

Chocolate Fudge Cookie Balls for Trivia Night

I made these for our church's trivia night. They have a chocolate fudge and oreo center, covered in semi-sweet chocolate with white chocolate drizzle. We didn't win first place, but we definitely had the best food :)

Red Velvet Cupcakes

My youngest sister, Jenny is away at college and I decided to make her a care package for Valentine's Day. I thought red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting would be very appropriate. I hope she loves them!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cupcakes to Celebrate 28 years

It was my older sister's 28th birthday this weekend. I made these goodies specially for her and they turned out great! I decided to make strawberry cupcakes with chocolate fudge frosting and of course topped with sprinkles. She is the best big sister ever and deserved something fantastic for her birthday.
