Hi LFB CV friends! 👋🏻

It was another sprinkle-filled weekend here, as our wee little lady turned FOUR yesterday!

She’s been on a vanilla kick lately and every time I asked what kind of cake she wanted for her birthday, I got a different answer. So like any good mom, I made what I wanted to make which was this party in a pan. Highly recommend if you favor a delightfully moist (shuddering as I type that word) and colorful cake layered with the best classic buttercream around. 🎂

🚨 Next LFB CV drop: Tomorrow, Sunday the 6th @ 3-4:30 (or until ‘sellout’) we are celebrating LFB CV’s SECOND BIRTHDAY with VANILLA BUTTERCREAM DOT CAKES!

That’s right friends, we started LFB CV two whole years ago on 8.16.24 so we’re having a little birthday party! We could not have imagined the joy and fulfillment this little project would bring to our family, and have loved meeting so many neighbors via sweet treats. 🎂

Have you heard about the ‘viral’ dot cakes? I am usually not one to jump on a trend until it’s almost not trendy. However, these mini vanilla cakes layered with vanilla buttercream and topped with a layer of round dot sprinkles seem fitting for the occasion.

📍Come celebrate with us tomorrow! As usual the cart & cooler will be at the end of the drive at the corner of Hillside & Greenhill Drives.

👋🏻 Oh hey LFB CV friends!

It’s been a busy month and we’ve missed you. We’ve got lots of fun planned for the coming weeks, including a SECOND BIRTHDAY PARTY for LFB CV! 🎈

In the meantime enjoy these pics from our ‘market research’ in FL. 🌴😎 And please don’t judge the amount of desserts consumed in one week.

🚨 NEXT LFB DROP: Tomorrow, Sunday the 2nd @ 3-4:30 (or until ‘sellout’) we will have LEMON CRINKLE COOKIES! 🍋

You’ve likely had a chocolate crinkle cookie during the holidays, but have you ever tried the citrusy sister variety? Me either, until sampling one at a local coffee shop. (By sampling I mean eating most of it…😬).

👩🏻‍🍳 Slightly crispy, yet also chewy with just the right amount of fresh lemon flavor and a dusting of powdered sugar, these pretty ladies are a perfect treat in the August heat.

📍The cart (& cooler) will be at the end of the drive at the corner of Hillside & Greenhill Drives. Come grab a treat and help us spread some love. ❤️

🚨 Next LFB CV drop: Tomorrow, Sunday the 12th @ 3-4:30 (or until ‘sellout’) we will have PEANUT BUTTER S’MORES BARS!

👩🏻‍🍳 It’s hot, and it’s campfire season. It’s been a minute since I’ve sat at a fire but these dessert bars? I can get behind these.

Your classic milk chocolate and marshmallow crème combo is sandwiched between two layers of buttery graham cookie crust, with a layer of peanut butter thrown in to really make it a party. 🍫

📍As usual, the cart (and our new summer cooler) will be at the end of the drive at the corner of Hillside and Greenhill Drives. Come help us spread some love! ❤️

🚨Next LFB CV drop: Tomorrow, Saturday 6/20 @ 3-4:30 (or until ‘sellout’) we will have STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE COOKIES! 🍓

After 18 months of winter we’re craving all the summery things here. My mom used to make strawberry shortcake (you know, the kind with Bisquick biscuits) with homemade whipped cream, so I’m trying to channel that with this buttery cookie base loaded with fresh strawberries and strawberry preserves, topped with a buttery streusel crumb.

📍As usual we’ll have the cart loaded at the end of the drive at the corner of Hillside and Greenhill Drives.

👩🏻‍🍳Hi friends! Yesterday was LFB Savory Saturday here.

One of our dear friends recently had a major shoulder surgery, so we made our version of meals on wheels complete with homemade pasta, arrabbiata sauce with Italian sausage, and a garlic rosemary focaccia bread. 🍝

I’m pretty sure carbs and garlic (and a nice red 🍷) would cure any ailment, but maybe that’s just me…?

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! ❤️

🚨 Next LFB drop: Tomorrow, Sunday the 24th @ 3-4:30 (or until ‘sellout’) we will have MR. ARMSTRONG’S MONSTER COOKIES! 🍪

That’s right, it’s LFB CV: Nostalgia Edition!

My good friend Susie (I’m not speaking in the third person, we actually share the same name) is back in town for the weekend and will be joining us for some good old fashioned LFB fun. We met in high school, where our math teacher Mr. Armstrong would make these awesome monster cookies for an occasional treat.

Fun fact: I ended up working with Mr. Armstrong in my actual job in recent years, and he would still bring his infamous cookies to work. However I could never bring myself to call him by his first name like a real adult. 😝 He was kind enough to share his recipe, so hopefully I can do them justice!

📍As usual you can find the cart at the end of the drive at the corner of Hillside and Greenhill Drives. Come help us spread some love! ❤️

LFB Fam Edition: Last weekend we celebrated my parents’ 56th wedding anniversary, complete with a glammed up boxed yellow cake and homemade chocolate buttercream.

I asked my mom if she could believe they had been married for 56 years and she said “Yes.” 🤔 Then I asked “Does it seem like longer than 56 years?” to which she also replied “Yes”. 🤭

These two have had their share of health trials in recent years, but through it all they remain a true testament of love and commitment. ❤️
