Dark Chocolate Rum Cupcakes {with Salted Caramel Buttercream}
My Dark Chocolate Rum Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Buttercream recipe was inspired by the most popular dessert on this year’s Halloween Office Party Buffet. There sat Mark’s picture perfect rum cake, whose aroma alone was so intoxicating co-workers began to stalk the break room pre-party (secretly wondering if they could manage to sneak a piece without getting caught). There’s something sensual about the combination of rum and butter and sugar.

Peppermint Mocha Latte Truffles
It has happened. The coffee-house shift from Pumpkin Spice Lattes to Peppermint Mocha Lattes. Today in honor of Peppermint Mocha Latte Day my plan was to recreate this phenomenon at home. That was before I found a bazillion other versions of Starbuck’s copycat recipe for that warm minty frothy beverage we all love. Hmmm…how about Peppermint Mocha Latte Truffles instead. Bingo.

Strawberry Pecan Cake
This Strawberry Pecan Cake is a family recipe. One that has been passed down from generation to generation. Granny Cile, aka The Cake Lady, shared her cake craft with our community for many years. Whether it was baking for a church event or delivering her signature cakes to the parish hall for a family in need, Granny baked.

Malted Peach Frappe {or is it a Milkshake?}
When I discovered today was National Frappe Day I smiled out loud. It’s been years since I’ve had a frappe, yet a familiar fondness remains. I’ve shared before that I grew up just a corn field away from an iconic New England Ice Cream Shop. The very place I discovered my love for Dusty Miller Sundaes and Malted Peach Frappes.

Hummingbird Cake {with Pineapple Flowers}
She requested a Hummingbird Cake. It was about six months ago and it went something like this. Oh. My Word! You have GOT to make a Hummingbird Cake and share it on Lemony Thyme. And with me. Of course you have to share it with me.

Welcome Home Muffins
I made Welcome Home Muffins for my dear friend and co-worker Sabina. She has arrived home after having been overseas caring for her mom. I’m not sure there is anything more personal than caring for a parent. We lovingly follow in their footsteps until it’s time to venture out on our own. Then we look over our shoulder for their approval as we find our way. Often the road leads us back home.

Chocolate & Peanut Butter Pretzel Squares {no-bake}
Spending Friday afternoon in the warehouse, checking and packing orders, was a wonderful reminder of how teamwork can propel a small company. Laying wide awake in bed early Saturday morning…told me where my heart was. When Chocolate & Peanut Butter Pretzel Squares appeared on my Pinterest feed, I knew they needed to be delivered to all my awesome workmates.
