New Happenings - STAY TUNED

Hey guys, Emilyn here! Just wanted to take a second to chit-chat about changes that I have made to my blog lately. I am thinking about adding a couple of different options to the blog and making it a little more interactive. I am thinking about adding in a subscription service that you are notified about each time I post so that you can come see me right when I post!? Also, I recently added a new option to my sidebar in the blog, a Top Posts link that will provide you with all the top posts that I have posted in the last 7 days. I am hoping to keep it up to date so that it keeps you interested and ready for new recipes and tips!

Also I recently posted about a blog that I have reviewed called Bakerella. If you have heard of her or are interested in seeing what she has to offer take a look at my previous blog, I will link it below but it is also in my top posts link on my page!

More good news coming to you guys. I am happy to announce that I will be creating all social media for my website so that I can contact you all through that and to post about all the happenings in my baking life! I am going to post baking posts about all the great goodies that I am working on for you guys! That should be happening within the next couple of days so be waiting for that to pop up on here, I will inform you when it does.

I am excited to announce that an announcement is coming soon about my business so stay tuned for that! Thanks for all the support!

10 Different Ways to Revamp Boxed Brownies

Okay, who doesn't love good boxed brownies!? I recently just made some boxed brownies because we needed to make something for a 4th of July party. Before I was making them I thought that something just really needed to be done to them, and that is what made me think of this blog. I thought of a couple different ways that you can made your brownies a little more exciting so that it seems like you put more effort into them, and they are even more delicious! Here we go! 1. Duh, add some chocolate chips! Add about a cup of semi-sweet, peanut butter, milk, or mint chocolate chips to your brownie batter. This will vamp up your brownies and make them even more delicious! 2. Top them off with chocolate chips. Instead of putting the chips inside your batter, add them on top when the brownies are done. This will allow you to add just a little surprise to the brownies. 3. Top them off with frosting. This is kind of a no brainer, but it really makes your brownies extra yummy. You c

Frosting Cupcakes Tips

Frosting cupcakes is just about my favorite part of cupcakes altogether. Who didn't just lick the frosting off as a kid? Hello me. ANYWAYS. There are many tips to frost the perfect cupcake so let's dive right into them. First off, you must decide how you are going to frost your cupcake. By knife, piping bag or with your hands (this way gets a little messy). As I have grown as a baker, I always use Wilton Pastry Bags. I use different sizes just depending on how many cupcakes I am frosting, and how much frosting I made. I am just going to say, the bigger the better. If you fill a small one too full, frosting will explode out the top, and there will be a HUGE mess. Secondly, you must have the right tips for the bags if you decide to use them. There are many tips for many different things that you want to do with decorating. Here is my little reference in a picture that I use A LOT. It shows you the many different tips and what the frosting will look like when you use them.
