Homemade Marshmallow Peeps
You’ve had Peeps candies, right? Is there anyone out there who hasn’t? I used to absolutely despise them when I was a kid. My mom loved them,so it was without fail that we always had a package or two (or five) in our Easter baskets – to me, they had a funky food-coloring taste and were always a little too squishy. Blech. But then, at some point, we (my siblings and I) discovered two things. One, that stale Peeps are way better than fresh Peeps. They get…

30 Recipes for Fall Baking
If you’re like me, you’re starting to get a little burnt out on all of the pumpkin recipes that have appeared over the past few weeks. I am a super-pumpkin-fan myself, and even I have reached my threshold of my second-favorite-baking-ingredient ever. Any guesses what my favorite ingredient is? 🙂 Over the years, I’ve shared quite a few fall-inspired recipes here at Lemon Sugar, and every fall I try to post a fall-roundup for you all so you can see everything in one place. These…

Homemade Crescent Rolls
I come from a family of nappers. Well, I should rephrase that a bit. My Mom and sisters could win a napping competition against the best nappers in the whole wide universe. I guess I wouldn’t call my Dad a napper, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen my brothers nap. But whatever. I come from half a family of nappers. I, though, am not a napper. Napping makes me feel worse than if I didn’t take a nap at all. I know there…

Pumpkin BTS Cake
So, I don’t really care what you call this cake. Anytime you combine pumpkin, homemade whipped cream and caramel sauce? Uh-MAZE-balls. My last BTS cake has driven almost 120,000 visitors to Lemon Sugar, and is among one of my most requested desserts in my inner circle. Inner circle? That means my family. I don’t know why I called them my inner circle. I’m clearly not Miley Cyrus. I don’t have an “inner circle.” But if I did, I would totally feed them BTS cake. If…

Irish Beer & Whiskey Cupcakes
If you’re like me, you might find yourself avoiding the plethora of “boozy” cupcake recipes that circulate the web. Since I’m more of a wine girl, recipes cooked with beer, whiskey and other liqueurs didn’t ever really call to me. Yes, some recipes call to me. And they don’t shut-up until I make them. It’s a problem. I’m not sure why I finally broke down and made these. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I’ve come to really love St. Patrick’s Day. …

Just Cherry Pie
It’s just really been a strange week. We were supposed to be in Mexico, celebrating not only our anniversary but my husband’s birthday as well. Because we were planning to lay on the beach and drink fruity drinks to celebrate, I didn’t plan the usual birthday celebration with dinner, guests, dessert and gifts. I feel bad that my hubs kind of got the short end of the birthday stick this year, but promised him that we’ll celebrate his birthday on our rescheduled trip. So, in…

Applesauce Doughnut Holes
Hi everyone! On Thursdays, I will be sharing some of my favorites from the archives from Lemon Sugar. These Applesauce Doughnut Holes have remained very popular since I first posted them years ago. They just scream autumn! Enjoy! ♥ Ok, I promise I’ll get off the fall-flavor train soon. Yeah, not really. I can’t promise that at all. I know there are some of you out there who aren’t into pumpkin, apple and cinnamon EVERYTHING, but I can’t help myself. I am very into pumpkin, apple…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Bundt Cake
Can someone please make summer stick around for a few more months? While you’re at it, let’s just go ahead and do two months of spring, seven months of summer, two months of fall and one month of winter with lots of snow. Kthanks. I’m having weather feelings because today we bought school shoes and backpacks for the girls – they go back to school in less than two weeks. That. Is. Not. OK. Even though I love me some fall weather, I am so not…

2015 Roundup
It’s been a great year here at Lemon Sugar. Lots of new recipes, lots of new opportunities, the c-word (cookbook!) is floating around, and even though I had a busy year outside the blog, I still managed to keep it a priority and watch it grow. I can’t thank you all enough for your support, your comments, your likes, your pins, your tweets, your shares. I know that you, as readers, have EVERYTHING to do with how successful I am here, and really – a…

Orange Sweet Rolls
My to-do list today looked something like this: clean the pantry for an upcoming photo-shoot. Organize the mess on top of my desk. Finish the laundry. Go to the grocery store. Decorate for Easter. Put away the 2T clothes still in Mia’s closet *sniff*. See how productive I am in my head? Know what I actually did? Yup. I made Orange Sweet Rolls.

Sugar Cream Pie
Sugar. Cream. Pie. Okay you guys, help me with this. Who was like, “I’m gonna mix up some sugar and some cream and bake it all up in a pie?” Who thinks that way? (Ok, maybe I do. A little bit.) Seriously, this is just what it sounds like. Sugar and cream in a pie crust. And it’s fantastic. Oh, just a custard pie, right? I know what you’re thinking. But it’s not. There are no eggs in this pie! It is literally baked cream.…
