It’s almost Easter! Easter is one of my favorite holidays, because it involves candy and bunnies – two of the best things ever! Naturally, it also means I get to make cupcakes with bunnies on them. I used the same chocolate cake recipe from the Irish Car Bomb cupcakes I […]
*Bunneh Test Kitchen; not for sale* Over the weekend before St. Patrick’s Day, I went a little crazy. My family (and by this I mean ancestry, not my immediate family) is from Scotland originally, but later emigrated to Ireland. As someone of Scot-Irish descent, I felt it my duty to […]
My dad lived in Louisiana for a while as a teenager, but my mom was raised there. As a result, no matter where we lived growing up, we celebrated Mardi Gras. If all you’ve ever heard about Mardi Gras is about Bourbon Street and women “flashing” to get beads, you […]
A couple of weeks ago, it was my boyfriend’s daughter’s 4th birthday. She’s a very picky eater, so I asked her ahead of time if she wanted cake, cupcakes, cookies, or brownies for her birthday celebration. She picked chocolate chip cookies. I knew from past attempts at cookie decorating that […]
*Bunneh baking for fun; not for sale* For Christmas last year, I received quite a few cookie cutters from friends and family. No surprise since, in the words of one of my good friends in Colorado, I’ve become “all Martha Stewart” in the last year or so. I’ve always enjoyed […]

*Bunneh Test Kitchen; not for sale* It’s not that I’m all that into football… sure, it’s exciting this year that my city’s team is in the Super Bowl, but let’s face it: for me, this is mostly just another excuse to come up with some theme baking ideas. I’m putting […]
This year, for the first time, I’m kind of into the whole Super Bowl thing. It helps that I live in Seattle, home of the Seahawks. The whole city is insanely excited about “us” being in the Super Bowl this year, and it’s difficult not to get at least a […]
Recently it was a friend’s birthday… he claimed he’s too old for birthdays, but since he also admitted he’s not too old for cookies, I insisted we compromise. I gave him cookies for “a random day in January.” His favorite cookies are gingerbread. At Christmas, M&Ms released a very limited […]
I’ve had an idea for some cupcakes in my head for a while, so for a post-Christmas Christmas dinner, I decided to make a modified version. First step, a few days before the dinner, was melting both white and chocolate Wilton candy melts and putting them into squeeze bottles. Then […]
