What’s Happening Lately at Keep It Sweet Desserts

Posted on April 1, 2013

It is a good thing we took our vacation at the end of February, because I don’t think I’ve stopped running around since we are back.  March was a busy month and April is showing signs of the same.  While it is completely exhausting, and I would love a day off for a haircut and…

Happy 1st Birthday to Keep It Sweet Desserts!

Posted on March 24, 2013

March is a huge birthday month in my family, so it is only appropriate that Keep It Sweet Desserts squeezed in there as well.  I still remember thinking to myself, just a few hours before the website went live, “I have no idea what is about to happen”.  That could not have been more true!…

A Taste of Australia at The Sunburnt Calf in New York City

Posted on March 20, 2013

I was recently invited to a BlogHer lunch hosted by Tourism Australia at The Sunburnt Calf in New York City. Blogger events are always fun because I get to meet and see some of my “blog friends.” This was also a good opportunity to experience Australian cuisine and learn about Australia’s food and wine culture.…

(Real) Pistachio Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Buttercream

Posted on March 10, 2013

Flavorful pistachio cupcakes made from scratch and topped with the best brown sugar buttercream. My dad isn’t a dessert person. I know, cover your mouth in horror!  Him and my sister both… my mom and I, we are just made differently.  Actually, I relate to my dad in a lot of other ways.  His math…

Mini Cookies ‘n Cream Cupcakes

Posted on February 19, 2013

Well, I’m pretty much at that point before vacation where I’m in a little bit of denial about how much I need to do beforehand.  Lots and lots and lots of cookies need to be made and my head is already in a world where the sun is shining and I have a tequila infused…

Fluffernutter Chocolate Cake

Posted on February 4, 2013

You favorite chocolate cake covered with peanut butter and marshmallow swirled icings. Sometimes cakes don’t work out like you want them to.  But sometimes, they turn out better. This cake actually started out as a recipe for “salted caramel fudge cake” but frankly all I got was chocolate cake.  Certainly not enough to stand on…
