Carrot Cake Fudge

Happy Easter Everyone,

I wanted to share a quick recipe with you today for Layered Carrot Cake Fudge. A great treat to share with your family and friends this lovely Easter Sunday.

Here's what you will need:

For Carrot Cake Fudge:

-  4 Tbsp. butter

-  3 Cups white chocolate chips

-  1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

-  1 Cups dry carrot cake mix

-  ½ Cup marshmallow cream

For Cream Cheese Fudge:

-  ¾ Cup cream cheese frosting

-  1 Cup white chocolate chips

-  2 Tbsp. marshmallow cream

Instructions:

Line 2 8x8 pans with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large pan melt 4 Tbsp butter, 3 Cups white chocolate chips and can of condensed milk. Stir until smooth.

Stir in dry cake mix a scoop at time until thoroughly combined.

Pour into pan and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

While carrot cake fudge is refrigerating melt 1 Cup white chocolate chips.

Once white chocolate chips are melted stir in cream cheese frosting and marshmallow cream.

Pour over carrot cake layer and chill at least 1 hour before cutting.

Cut into approximately 40-50 squares.

Enjoy!

**BONUS!! **

You can use boxed carrot cake mix but if you love carrot cake as much as we do in my house (carrot cake is Michael's favorite) then in spring you can keep ball jars of the wet and dry ingredients on hand in the fridge. I make large quantities and keep them in the fridge; they also make great gifts with a recipe card attached. I use my homemade carrot cake mix to make my fudge.

* Recipe below is so that you're always ready to go for any unexpected moments in life :) Great for when guests stop over for coffee. Bakes in a half hour and is fun to mix and talk. 

Dry Mix:

-  2 Cups all-purpose flour

-  2 Cups sugar

-  2 tsp. baking soda

- ½ tsp. salt

- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon

- 2 Cup grated carrot drained

- 1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapples drained

- 1 (3.5 oz) can flaked coconut

- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Wet Mix

- 3 large eggs

- ¾ Cup vegetable oil

- ¾ Cup buttermilk

- 2 tsp vanilla extract

To make carrot cake, mix 7 ½ Cups dry ingredients with eggs, oil, buttermilk and vanilla in electric mixer at medium speed until blended.

Line three 8 x 8 cake pans with parchment paper.

Pour batter into cake pans.

Bake cakes at 350 for 25-30 min.

Cool in pans on wire racks for 15 min and then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.

Use cream cheese frosting between layers as you stack cakes. Frost top and sides of cake and enjoy.

Thank you for visiting! I would love to hear how you like the carrot cake and the fudge.

Sneak Peak

Hello Everyone,

Here is a sneak peak of the tent I have been working on. 

I am so happy with how it came out. I was thinking of doing a tutorial but decided to let people ask for the pattern if they want to make their own. I would love to make a mini one for Jabba. I don't think he would ever come out. It was a lot of fun, I found myself playing in it. I think it came out great and the kids loved it. 

Did you have a tent or make forts as a kid? What was your favorite part of summer camping?

Works In Progress

Hello All,

I just wanted to share with you what I have been working on for the last two weeks. I have been sewing and painting up a storm. I have been working on props for a video that is going to be shot this weekend in the park. 

This is what I get to work with. How lucky am I?

Here I am painting some of the props for the trees.

How cute are these guys? They got to go on the road trip with Mike and I to the river. I was able to applique them in the car. I think they are just too cute.

Here are some of the finished painted props ready to go.

What have you been working on this week? I would love for you to share it with me.

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Hello Everyone,

Happy Tuesday! Today is my Birthday! I just wanted to quickly share with you what I have been working on in my sewing studio. I can't share too much because it is going to published in a magazine with patterns and instructions but here is a tiny peak. 

It is going to be an appliqued owl pillow. I am so excited that it is coming out so cute. I am going to put a zipper in the bottom so the cover can be removed from the form and washed. It is designed for children but I see this cute  little owl sitting in my office with me. 

I would love to hear what you are working on.

Crescent Candy Cookies

Hello Again,

I have a super simple, super yummy recipe to share with you again. I used Rolo in the recipe because Mom and I love them so much and this is something fun we do together at Christmas. You can substitute your favorite candy inside, Mike loves when I make them with Reese's cups.

You will need:

1 or 2 tubes of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

1 bag of Rolo (or your favorite candy)

Cream Cheese frosting 

Instructions:

Pop open the tube of crescent rolls and separate them into the usual triangles

Unwrap same number of Rolo's

Place one Rolo on an individual crescent triangle and roll it up the same way you would a crescent

Repeat until you have made all rolls

Bake as directed on crescent package

Once the crescents have cooled down enough you can frost them and ENJOY!

These are super quick and easy to make and great for children to help roll. 

I would love to hear what you think or what your favorite easy cookie recipe is.
