I made these cupcakes using leftover ingredients and a box of Funfetti cake mix. At first, I was a little apprehensive about using boxed cake mix, since I felt like I …

Banana Peanut Butter and Chocolate Muffins
I’m on a peanut butter and chocolate binge! I can’t help it guys. I love the combination. I woke up this morning wanting bananas, chocolate, and peanut butter.

Pumpkin Cake
I’ve just jumped onto the pumpkin bandwagon, and I’m taking all of you with me! I’ve been baking pumpkin pie since as far back as I can remember. It was my duty on Thanksgiving.

Apple Cake
Ladies and gentlemen, words cannot possibly express the excitement I feel right now. I, Melisa Robledo, baked an apple cake. Yes, an apple cake. No, I did not use canned apples. I did it!
