Who says you can’t influence your family? My cousin has been making this grain-free sweet potato chocolate cake for years for our Passover Seder feast.

Strawberry and Blueberry Birthday Cupcakes

My daughter’s favorite colors are purple and pink and I knew for her birthday party I had to figure out a way to get these colors onto her birthday cupcakes.

Ah the ice box cake…made with those thin, processed Famous Chocolate wafer cookies and whipped cream…remember that from your childhood?
