Coconut Cloud Cake
"This cake for my family, who loved it. We call it Coconut Cloud Cake as it is light and fluffy. The blend of a classic white cake, infused with coconut and topped with a delicious whipped cream frosting and crowned with sweet coconut, how could it get any better?" - Kathy
Finger Lickin' Good Cake
"You won't want to leave anything on your fingers or your plate! This has got to be my all-time favorite cake." - Laura
Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosted Brownies
"Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosted Brownies are super fudgy, moist, and slathered with a thick layer of chocolate cream cheese frosting. They are pure perfection." - Paula
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
"I like to add some ground nutmeg and ginger to both batter and filling for extra spice. For Halloween, pipe jack-o-lantern faces onto pies." - Margaret
Blondies
"This is great because you can add whatever chips you want - chocolate, peanut butter, butterscotch, etc." - Morgan
Pumpkin Apple Muffins
"These are crazy good. I've literally had 2 separate marriage proposals (as a joke, I think...) after friends have tried these. I'm not kidding, it is the best pumpkin muffin you'll ever have and they taste even better the second day." - Maiah
Cinnamon Roll Cake
"Is it a cinnamon roll? Is it a cake? This dessert is a cross between both and a win-win in our world. The cake is super tender, fluffy, and delicate." - The Kitchen Crew
Boozy Banana Cake
"Do you ever have over ripened bananas and want to do something a little different? Well, this is how this Boozy Banana cake came to be. I had some bananas I was saving to make banana bread and after seeing something about Bananas Foster on TV my recipe wheels started turning. I am also all about being easy and I love bundt cakes." - Debbie
Grandma Helen's Oatmeal Cookies
"I had asked my grandmother for some cookie recipes a while back and she very kindly included her oatmeal cookie recipe which I have always loved. I really dislike oatmeal cookies with cinnamon and nutmeg, etc. in them so I was thrilled to get this recipe. It can be tailored to your tastes as far as if you prefer nuts or chocolate chips or raisins or whatever!" - Laurie
Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies
"I've been baking lots of banana bread lately and while I love it, I wanted something different to do with my ripe bananas. I found this recipe and tweaked it some to make it mine. They have a very soft, cake-like texture." - Marianne
Death by Oreo Cupcakes
"As the name implies, these chocolate cupcakes are to die for. At first glance, they look like a yummy cupcake with a cookies and cream type icing. It's when you take the first bite you're amazed. Big chunks of Oreos are in every bite. A whole Oreo cookie at the bottom of the cupcake is a bonus." - The Kitchen Crew
Dark Chocolate Souffle Cheesecake
"A light and fluffy souffle like dark chocolate cheesecake that is super easy to make!" - Kevin
Sugar Cookies
"This is a delicious cookie to make. Wonderful to make around the holidays for a special treat for the children. My children always liked to help decorate with icing." - Jean
Melt in Your Mouth Lemon Bars
"Ann set high expectations for this lemon bars recipe ... and they turned out every bit as good as she said! The shortbread crust is buttery with a creamy lemon center." - The Kitchen Crew
Sour Cream Apple Pie
"Sweetened sour cream swirls around apple slices with a crumb topping." - Terese
Are You Kidding Cake
"I have named this cake appropriately because that's what people say when they ask for the recipe. I have an Amish friend named Rosie. She gave me this recipe one day and I didn't believe her at first. I thought she surely forgot an ingredient or two. But, she didn't. This is a moist cake and tasty." - Jane Louise
Mango Spice Cake
"I just love dessert, and I love it even more when it's a little bit healthy. This cake is spicy and sweet and totally vegan, packed with delicious nutrients." - Shika
Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes
"Banana Cream Pie... cupcake style! These cupcakes are loaded with flavor and I bet you can't eat just one." - Robynne
A+ Brownies
"These are the richest brownies you'll ever put into your mouth! The brownie base is dense, chewy, and chocolaty. Alone it's great. But add the cheesecake layer with little bitty chocolate chips and you have the best of both worlds - brownies and cheesecake." - The Kitchen Crew
