Real Sugar Free Apple Pie, don't mind if I do...

From 1st grade until I graduated high school my family didn't eat sugar. We snuck it, no surprise there, but on the whole we were a sugar free, clean eating family. Yeah, we were cool before it was cool. ;) My mom still doesn't eat much sugar and tries to eat healthily. When I was on my own for the first time, I rebelled. I maniacally bought Jif peanut butter, Welches grape jelly, and thick white sandwich bread. I made a sandwich. A few months later I had to buy new jeans. Haha, yes the freshman 15 attached itself to my hips and held on for dear life.Since that time I have come to appreciate my mothers wisdom. My family and I eat pretty healthy with little processed food. But living with moderation in all things we do enjoy sweetness in our life and we make it count. But, sometimes I like to have the delicious taste without the sugar. So I make my mom's no sugar apple pie with no artificial sweeteners. Every pie auction growing up it was quickly snatched. And that is what I made the other day. I made it and did some blind taste testing within my family. Could they tell it had no sugar? Nope. One friend said she doesn't typically enjoy apple pie. Much to her surprise and my delight she loved it! The crust is perfectly homemade, buttery and flaky, the filling I bake to perfection, and I hand shape the crust and edges every time. Nothing store bought about this delight. Or any of my pies. Take one bite and you will also join my pie revolution! So, do you want some now?






Arrow of Light Cake

I love the Boy Scouts of America. It helps that my husband is an Eagle Scout and is currently serving as a Boy Scout Leader. They do so much good and help to mold responsible hard working young men! I was happy to make a cake for one such young man. He earned his Arrow of Light and his mom wanted a cake to celebrate! She asked for the arrow of light symbol. I think the colors and symbol came out great!


Disney Frozen Cake!!! Finally!!

I was so excited when my cute little Frozen loving neighbor wanted a frozen cake! I have been wanting to do one for so long! This little blonde haired cutie was so surprised by her parents doing her party earlier than expected. I love how it turned out and love that the snowflakes are all different just like real ones! :) I think the colors came out perfectly!

Lion King Baby Shower

I think this is at the top of my favorite cakes list. My friend hosted a baby shower for a friend and I had the privilege of making this cake. I loved the theme and I loved how the design turned out so clean and not gimmicky. I love doing the super smooth buttercream. The effect is well worth the extra time! Vanilla on vanilla. I've said it before and I'll say it over and over but this combo is such a delicious classic! I have had many many take an extra spoon of frosting with exclamations of its delicious fluffy perfection! And the cake, well lets just say what gets leveled off doesn't get thrown out without a few "little tastes," it is moist and luscious!
