Texas Sheet Cake by CakeBoss
It was a little bit daunting to try and put my own unique spin on something as iconic as the Texas Sheet Cake. After all, we live here. My husband and I were born here. In fact, my husband is a 4th generation Texan. There’s a whole lot of pride that goes into everything that […]
Jazzed Up Peanut Butter Cookies
Peanut butter cookies are a standard American favorite. Nearly every baker has a go-to recipe in their baking arsenal. I married into a family who considers peanut butter cookies to be a Christmas cookie, and it’s not Christmas if I don’t make them! This has always seemed a little weird to me, since peanuts are […]

CakeBoss Chocolate Buttercream Recipe
Our chocolate buttercream isn’t really one recipe – it’s a combination of two excellent recipes: American-style chocolate buttercream and chocolate ganache.

The balance of those ingredients can leave you with a cookie that is dry, greasy, cakey, crumbly, thick, thin, or chewy. Taking […]
How to Stop Your Cakes from Bulging

Grandma’s Main Basic Sugar Cookies
This is a family recipe I inherited from my grandma. One story I always heard her tell was that her mom would never tell anyone her recipes. When her mom passed away, all those recipes were lost. So whenever I would ask grandma for a recipe, she would always give it to me. A few […]
