We’re continuing the celebration of my blog’s birthday this week with ALL THINGS FUNFETTI! 🎉
Flavor it with cake batter (or almond!) extract, throw in your favorite color combo of sprinkles, and you have yourself a party! 🥳
Of course, you don’t NEED a PARTY for an excuse to make something this colorful, so find something to celebrate and get to baking! 🌈
Comment “recipe” below and I’ll DM you a link to where you can find ALL of the funfetti recipes on my site (cupcakes! brownies! more cookies!), including these fan favorites 🤩 #freshaprilflours • https://freshaprilflours.com/funfetti/

I wound up experiencing more joy in showing others how to bake a cake or cupcakes THEMSELVES than making it FOR them.
My website now houses 650+ recipes including cakes, cupcakes, cookies, breads, and pies. This gives me so much joy because while it’s my beloved recipe, YOU are the one who gets to not only taste it, but also be PROUD of yourself 🥲
And guess what? I didn’t bake my first cake from scratch until I was 25 😱
🍪 I didn’t “grow up baking with my mom in the kitchen”
🎂 I didn’t go to school for baking or pastry arts
🧁 I took a boxed cake to my first cake decorating class at my local craft store…
…and I couldn’t even get it out of the pan 😵💫
Sure. I helped my mom bake cookies from time to time and my dad make his famous spaghetti sauce every winter, but these moments did not define my childhood nor instill in me a love of baking/cooking.
I went to school for biology, and my love for microscopes, bugs, and nature in general is what I remember from my childhood 👩🔬
When I was 25, I needed an evening hobby because my (then) boyfriend (now husband) was still in school.
Cake decorating class ➡️ I found cake baking “science-y” ➡️ eventually it became therapeutic ➡️ I turned it into a side hustle ➡️ business wasn’t fun anymore so I stopped ➡️ my website was born in April 2014
Why does this matter? 🤔
Because even if you DID grow up baking with a relative, or you baked a scratch cake for the first time before you were in middle school, you are likely seeing my account because you’re also a HOME BAKER.
🧁 you bake cupcakes for your kids’ birthdays
🍪 you like making cookies from scratch for get togethers
🥧 you have a go-to apple pie recipe that everyone asks you to make for Thanksgiving
🎂 you look forward to “just because” weekend baking
But this is not your full time job and probably not even your side hustle.
You don’t need anything to be fancy.
You like unfussy ingredients.
You want easy-to-follow recipes.
My friend… I am your girl 💁♀️

If a chocolate-covered strawberry is even remotely the way to your heart, these muffins are right up your alley 😍🍓 They are perfectly sweetened, thanks to the natural sweetness of fresh strawberries, and melty chocolate chips fill the spaces between those strawberries for a little upgrade from just plain strawberry muffins 🍫

Listen, I have no problem giving credit where credit is due. Toll House set us up with a solid foundation. Truly! 🥲
But the Fresh April Flours version that I’ve perfected over the last decade+ has gotten reviews like these ones that just came in over the last month:
🍪 “No joke… these are the BEST. I have faithfully stuck to a different variation of the tollhouse recipe up until now, but I will only be using this recipe going forward. Followed all of the steps to a tee and these are genuinely the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve had in my life!!”
🍪 “Hands down. These are truly the best chocolate chip cookies!!! Absolutely delicious every time.”
🍪 “I’ve baked a lot of chocolate chip cookies and love trying new recipes. Made these last night and they are the best chocolate chip cookie I think I’ve made.”
🍪 “The BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe I’ve found. I’ve been looking for years for a recipe that turns out like these – they are SO good. The recipe is easy and consistent, they turn out delicious every single time.”
What’s different, you ask? Melted butter instead of softened, one less egg white, more brown sugar, a little cornstarch, and my signature combo of milk + semi-sweet chocolate chips make for a cookie that will win you over in a heartbeat, I guarantee it! 🙌

Twelve years ago today, I hit “publish” on my website for the very first time 🥹
Since then, I’ve taught millions of people all over the world how to bake from scratch without ever stepping foot into their kitchen with them.
I’ve turned a place to share my recipes into my full time job, and some days I have a hard time believing I get to do this everyday. It’s a literal DREAM come true to watch you bake my recipes, share them with your loved ones, and bring them to your traditions 💕
I can’t fully express how much every single one of those things means to me 🫶🏼
This funfetti cheesecake is the epitome of “celebration” to me. While this recipe has been on my site since 2021, I’ve refined by base cheesecake recipe since then, so this one obviously needed an update.
This cheesecake is velvety smooth, dotted with rainbow sprinkles, and the perfect blank canvas for any celebration you have on your agenda. ANY AT ALL! 🎉
Thank you for being here, especially those of you who have been here since 2014, and thank you to those of you who have joined our community more recently. I’m so glad you’re here 🥰

This cheesecake takes the phrase “Oreo lovers’ cheesecake” to a whole new level 🤍🖤 My cookies and cream cheesecake has Oreos (LOTS!) in every layer, beginning with the Oreo crust, a velvety smooth filling with crushed Oreos baked right in, and a ribbon of Oreo chunks through every bite! All with a fresh whipped cream on top!

These bakery-style soft and chewy peanut butter cookies filled with puddles of melted, gooey marshmallow fluff have childhood nostalgia in every bite 🤤
➡️ Here’s why you’ll love these cookies:
• start with my best peanut butter cookie base
• soft and chewy cookie
• a puddle of gooey marshmallow through the whole cookie
• messy in the best way
• if you eat one warm from the oven (or warmed after cooling), they’re even better

You get the beeeeeeest of both worlds 🖤🎶🤍 These marble cupcakes aren’t just vanilla and chocolate swirled together...they’re a flavor all their own! A longtime favorite in my home, these swirly cupcakes are made from one single batter yet deliver the perfect balance of both flavors in one bite. We didn`t even chat about the buttercream! 🧁

This may be my new favorite twist on a classic 🥰
And here’s the thing every cinnamon roll girlie needs to know— not every batch of cinnamon rolls needs to yield 12.
In fact, just about ALL of the cinnamon roll recipes on my site are small batch, which yields just 6. And doubling it If needed? Super simple math, and I have information in each post about what that looks like ☺️
Seriously, once you taste that chai-spiced cream cheese frosting, you’ll never go back to plain cinnamon again 🫖

If a basket of endless breadsticks from Olive Garden was part of your childhood (or maybe adulthood? Do people still go there??), then you know you’re in for something good today 😏
This month’s installment of my monthly Bread of The Month series is these ultra soft, mega flavorful, buttery, garlicky breadsticks. They’re shockingly easy to make, and once you make your first batch, you’ll be breaking out this recipe again and again #fafbreadofthemonth
I break down everything you need to know in photos, written steps, and a video so you know exactly what you’re doing. But I promise, these are much simpler than they appear to be upon first glance 👀
And they won’t last long so you might get some extra practice sooner than you expect to 😉

So you want banana bread today but your bananas are nowhere near “ideal” for banana bread? 🤨
SAME. Thats why I almost exclusively ROAST my bananas anymore 🍌
Yes, those very yellow or even greenish bananas sitting on your counter can still deliver all the banana bread goodness you crave, no waiting required 😮
Which is why I use this tried-and-true method for transforming underripe bananas into roasted bananas all the time. It creates the perfect base for baking AND delivers the same incredible results as using naturally mushy bananas every time 🙌🏼
You’ll need 3 medium size UNRIPE bananas and 3 Tablespoons of light or dark brown sugar.
👇🏼 Here’s what to do:
🍌 Preheat the oven to 400ºF (204ºC). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (or leave unlined, if you don’t mind cleaning).
🍌 Situate each banana so that the curved part is on a surface or cutting board and the ends are facing up. Slice each banana in half long ways, then lay the sliced bananas on the pan, exposed banana side up.
🍌 Sprinkle the bananas with the brown sugar and then turn each of them over so that the skins now face up and the exposed banana is on the prepared pan.
🍌 Roast the bananas for 10 minutes or until the skins are completely black and leaking juices from the sides.
🍌 Remove the bananas from the oven, carefully remove the skins, and place the roasted bananas and all of the juices and caramelized sugar into a small bowl.
🍌 Mash the bananas in the bowl using a fork and set them aside to cool while you make the rest of the banana bread.
