Halloween is finally here! And, for the first time in a while, I REALLY got into the Halloween spirit. My job organizes a Halloween bake-off every year. For the first time, I decided to enter. I’m usually not the creative/artsy type when it comes to sweets, but I decided to challenge myself. Pictured below is
With Halloween just a few days away, I have been looking for fun treats to make. I had been looking for candy eyeballs to use as a garnish for a dessert that I had in mind, but I couldn’t find any that looked promising. A few online searches brought me to some jello shots decorated

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been 5 years since I started Mango Madness. Mango Madness 2018 was actually going to be my last year of doing this, because I was legitimately running out of ideas. Yet. the mangoes flowed so heavily this year that I got all sorts of inspired! Seriously, I got
Skip to Recipe I’ve been experimenting with recipes for mango pastry cream for a while. My previous go-to recipe was good, but it really didn’t have a whole lot of mango flavor.
