This one is simple and perfect. I’m addicted to peanut butter cups, and this photo says it all…

Oh, delightful, delectable little peanut butter cup. How I love your groovy sides and scalloped edge! I love you so much, I want to cut out your heart and eat it! And then I will devour the rest of you! mwah-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaa…

Um, yeah. Can somebody please get me a peanut butter cup? Stat!

Thank you to Bob Fornal for this tasty treat!

Wedding season is approaching, and here is a stunning cake to get you in the mood. Gone are the days of fluffy frosting and miniature plastic people on top of the cake. This elegant cake is covered in smooth, pale pink and rich brown fondant, and festooned with delicate, handmade, gumpaste orchids. Those blossoms look amazing, especially the very thin, fluted edges. And look at the painted details, too. The touches of pink and yellow, and the tiny freckles on the petals. Wow.

Thanks to Jamie Anderson for sharing this photo!

I have been hearing the ice cream truck trolling the neighborhood on warm afternoons lately, so I have frozen treats on my mind. Here is a delectable dark chocolate ice cream with pink puffed rice bits. You won’t be able to buy this from your local ice cream truck driver, but you can make it yourself, by modifying this basic recipe. I think I’d like to try it with chewy brownie bits mixed in! Yum!

Many chocolate-covered thanks to chotda, for sharing this delicious photo!
