To die for.
Admittedly, sprinkles are my favorite cake and cookie topping. Even considering my love for the multicolored decoration, I think this detail would be lost on a dog whose goal is to gobble up the sweet treat in one gulp. The next time you bake up a cake for your pooch, would you pick a pack of Let's Do Organic . . . Sprinkelz ($2.50) with fruit- and veggie-derived hues to add up top? Read more
After seeing BabySugar's ghostly cupcakes, I wanted to bake something Halloweenish for my wee ones.

I've made no secret of my love for cupcakes so during my weekend in LA, Sprinkles was a must stop. With 20 (people) flavors, I was like a kid in a candy cupcake shop. And how sweet is it that they actually make puppy cupcakes with yogurt or carob frosting?! I was hoping a dog would wander by so I could buy him this treat and take his piccy while he enjoyed it . . . but, despite all the dogs I saw Read more
Every year I always ask YumJimmy if he'll make a cake for my birthday, and every year he says someday. I really thought this was going to be the year, but he had something else up his sleeve. Instead of a birthday cake, he decided to make me birthday doughnuts. The recipe comes from John T. Edge's book Donuts: An American Passion, and it whips up quite quickly. Sadly we were out of powdered Read more

Pitt is at his best playing the ruthless assassin, and Read more
