Day 2 of the 12 Dips of Christmas AND we’re giving away goodies! It’s a great Tuesday here at FAF! Are you planning to follow along with the dip party? 6 savory and 6 sweet. Yesterday, we kicked things off with spinach dip, so today, we’re all about the sweetness. Bring. On. The. Sugar. I’m…

Triple Chocolate Cookie Cake
For the 4th year in a row, it’s cookie cake time. What’s cookie cake time, you ask? September 26th, my birthday, somehow morphed into FAF’s annual cookie cake day. Three years ago when I turned 30, I decided on a classic chocolate chip cookie cake. And the next year, a funfetti version. Last year’s birthday…
Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
Friends, it is THAT time of year. The time March rolls around, bringing with it potentially warmer weather (nevermind the weird snowstorm we got this past weekend or the one that’s affecting a lot of the east coast today… I don’t rule out a blizzard until it’s April!) and, because of its special Irish holiday,…

Baked Mint Chocolate Chip Donuts
Just like February deserves a nod to red velvet, so does March deserve some sort of green treat, preferably in the form of mint chocolate. Last year, I killed two birds with one stone on Pi Day with this no bake mint chocolate chip pie, but this year I’m separating the two occasions and gracing…
Dark Chocolate Layer Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting
While Valentine’s Day may already be behind us, I think the whole month of February, or at least the remainder of this week, deserves to pump out some extra love, don’t you agree? And since we’re already into the second month of 2017, I owe you another Cake of The Month. All that said, I…
Yellow Layer Cake with Chocolate Buttercream
I spoke briefly about my resolve to start getting some cake recipes up on the blog, and here’s your first installment. I’m going to try my very very hardest to bring you one cake per month (#fafcakeofthemonth) for the rest of 2017. This means 12 different cakes, and (I’m hoping) 12 different frostings. The idea is that you’ll have an endless…
