I’ve read about Monkey Bread before but never really tasted it until September last year when we moved to this new house. A neighbor gave us a bundt of Monkey Bread as a welcome gesture for being the new neighbors. That was really nice of her. She’d given the kids some goodies after that day too. Halloween and Christmas. I’m pretty sure she’ll give them something for Easter as well.

I had a sweet craving the other day, and I was really tired of the kids’ disappointed sigh every time they opened the cookie jar and it’s empty. Monkey Bread is really easy to make so I thought about it. It’s easy to make because most recipes call for tubes of biscuits. My dilemma was I didn’t have tubes of biscuits in my fridge.

The name of the cake says it all, no? I discovered this classic, fast, and easy cake from the Better Homes & Garden BCA Pink Cookbook that I received from my mother-in-law...

I made red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting last weekend. It was YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY. I don’t know how else to describe it but Yummy, heh. It’s not pretty, actually the round cakes were uneven but I only made it for us so It didn’t matter. It was still delicious.

When I bought the jar of Nutella last weekend I made a vow (yes I did) that part of the Nutella will be made into cupcakes. I’ve always planned to do that whenever I buy one but it never gets that far. Darn those nutella sandwiches and occasional spoon licking. Well, I finally made self-frosting nutella cupcakes and golly they were so beautiful and delicious.
