First day of winter break = straight to baking 🎄

I made a monster cookie dough with chocolate chips, oats, and extra chunky peanut butter. Then i topped those with the classic Pillsbury sugar cookies we all love. I also made a new cream cheese buttercream with crumbled Christmas tree cakes! It’s the holidays! It’s time to be extra!

So grab a glass of milk and enjoy a cookie this Friday ☺️

Really branching 🪾out here in my decorating but I worked hard on this tree stump birthday cake. It was a 4 layer German chocolate cake topped with fondant caterpillars 🐛 and mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 The sides are covered in “bark” made from chocolate. It was so moist. Might be my go to chocolate cake recipe.

Who loved little Debbie’s as a kid?! I know I did. Is it just me or did they shrink as we grew up? I decided to see if I could recreate the oatmeal creme pie and bring it back to its majesty 👑.

✨Introducing Lil Liv’s OCP✨ (oatmeal creme pie). It’s made with a soft and chewy oatmeal cookies and a marshmallow buttercream frosting that will make your sweet tooth happy. 🤤

✨Summer✨The smell of chlorine and the pb&j sandwich mom packed for you. 🥪

I wanted to capture that feeling with my pb&j cake! A moist peanut butter cake, filled with strawberry filling and frosted with an amazing peanut butter frosting. 🍰

Both kid 👧 and adult 👩 approved 👍🏽

✨Trying out a new fluffy buttercream recipe. It’s amazing! 🤩

And of course, if I make the buttercream I have to test it out in piping tips. 😎

If you can guess what I used as the “cake” to decorate I’ll give you a free cookie! 🍪

☕✨ There’s just something magical about a chai tea latte — that warm blend of black tea, spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, all frothed together with creamy milk. It’s like a cozy hug in a cup. It is my go to winter warm up.

🥵 While it might not be winter, chai is still my first choice at any coffee spot. That's why I decided to try out a chai tea latte cupcake sometime this summer! 🌼

*Make sure to keep an eye on my page to see when I decide to release a limited time flavor* 🤫

Bee-lieve me, royal icing is no joke! ✨🐝

Just finished making a batch of bee-themed cookies, and let me tell you… these little cuties were a labor of love (and a test of patience)

Royal icing is beautiful and brutal — it dries fast when you don’t want it to, and stays runny when you need it to behave. Getting those clean lines? Let's just say it took some buzzing around the kitchen and a lot of deep breaths.

But despite the chaos, I’m pretty proud of how they turned out. 🍯🐝 They’re sweet, whimsical, and ready to fly off the plate!
