I can't believe this is FAT FREE !!!! YAY 

Hi Guys my next door neighbor who is up in age, gave me her secret, Angel food cake recipe, under one condition I had to bake her one, so I wanted to give it a new twist I desided to Roll  it instead of baking it in a bundt type of pan and that way she could slice  and serve it much easier , I am really please by the way it came out, it tasted great and I think I did a pretty good job and rolling it and stuffing it ... the hard part is trying to do it veryyyyy carefully because your afraid its going to crack on you ... lol  here is the outcome of my Angel Food Cake Roll..

Chocolate Covered strawberries Cheesecake

Hi guys I am feeling kind of upset at the moment I was informed that someone on Face Book has been stealing my pictures and claiming my work as theirs, and its not that my pictures are " professional " they are not far from it, I take them at home. It's the fact that I work really hard at what I do, I take time away from my family, my kids, to be able to bake and for someone to just come and steal my pictures and claim them for themselves  !!! it's not right ... so live and learn right ?  I guess I will have to write my business name on my pictures from now on....

Peruvian Alfajores with homemade Dulce de leche

Hi I made these this morning, I had my four little taste testers running around me asking me mommy is it my turn to taste test this one ? lol God I love them so much !!! Well I had this recipe for awhile now , my husband brought it back from a long time family friend, his mom and aunt came up with it and wow .... my husband was in peru last summer for a few weeks and bought me some and I was blown away with their texture and taste .. so I sat around being scared of this recipe because for one it was in spanish, and two it was in the metric system... Math not my strongest skill... so I finally said to myself, well hey trial and error right ? so I brought out the kitchen scale and weighted everything like 10 x just to " make sure " I was doing it right ... and said a quick prayer before I mixed up the dough... well guess what they came out SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD.... I am so proud of myself, the kids loved them so much they were licking their fingers and smiling with powder sugar all over their faces hahahaha... the joys of being their mom.....

Pumpkin Flan

Ok So I had Flan for the first almost 4 years ago, I was pregnant with my son who is 3 1/2. Up untill that day I always was like a dessert snob and would pass on any type of flan, And if you've ever been pregnant sometimes you get these weird desires for different types of foods, So my husband and I went to go eat at a cuban resturant here in town and I had a slice... and OMG I almost died......it was SOOOOOOO GOOOOD... I had a little slice of heaven in my mouth.... and the 2nd thought that ran threw my mind is WHY , WHY did I waste so many years without flan... lol So I was determined to learn how to make it .... So fast forward a few years and 3 kids, ( and  30+ pounds  ) later, here I am setting up my baking bussiness and Flans being my biggest sellers ... lol  I have come up with what I consider a great flan right texture, sweetness, and flavors..... But I am still learning right now I am baking a pumpkin flan for the first time, So we'll see how this one comes out, Keeping my fingers crossed ....
