Get ready for chocolate overload. But you can never have too much chocolate, right? So it’s all good… VERY good.

Gray’s Least Favorite Dreamsicle Cake
There’s a story behind the title. It’s at the end. 🙂
Apple Oatmeal Crisp
Found this recipe eons ago in a magazine while waiting in a doc’s office. A super quick and easy substitute when you have a taste for apple pie.
Reindeer Chow
Royal Icing for Decorating Cookies & Cakes
Chocolate Buttercrunch
OMG Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
I found this recipe in the New York Times, which had gone through hundreds of iterations (they said) to come up with the perfect CC cookie. These really are perfect. You’ve got to follow these directions EXACTLY to get the best results.
Bailey’s Irish Creme Cake
I found a version of this recipe that turned out pretty good, but thought I could improve on it. So I combined a bunch of other recipes I have to come up with this one. This cake is dessert heaven.
Pumpkin Layer Cheesecake
This is a combination of recipes I found online. Turned out pretty good, especially with the extra fixings! If you use the boiling water bath method to bake your cheesecake, you should have a perfect cake with no cracks.
Pineapple Star Cookies
These are a little bit labor intensive, but oh so worth the effort. They taste a little bit like a cross between a pineapple turnover and a croissant. I’m not joking.
Pistachio Ice Cream
I tried making this for the pistachio lover in our family, Aaron, but discovered this is one of my favorite ice cream recipes. 🙂
Black Cherry Ice Cream
Your dad’s absolute favorite, first experienced at Handel’s in Fishers. I searched the Interwebs for a recipe that sounded about right and made some adjustments. We no longer have to pay $8.00 for a pint of black cherry ice cream at Handel’s anymore. 🙂
Salted Caramel Ice Cream
This stuff is pretty darn good. Closer to gelato than ice cream in richness. A little goes a long way. You need an ice cream maker to create this creamy goodness.
Clear Fruit Glaze for Cakes & Pies
This is pretty good stuff. It will make your cake or pie look like it was made professionally and it helps keep your cut berries looking fresh until serving time. It tastes pretty darn good, too.
Peanut Blossoms
Umm, everyone loves these cookies. Everyone.
Almond Crescent Cookies
These cookies are favorites of Noelle and Alex over the holidays!
