Chocolate Headquarters

When it comes to chocolate desserts, I consider myself to be a professional taste tester. If you’re looking for a quick and easy chocolate cupcake, this is a beginner-friendly recipe that is set to impress. If you need a bakery-style chocolate cake, I recommend my Chocolate Drip Cake or Chocolate Mousse Cake. Need something straightforward but crave-worthy? Look no further than my OG Triple Chocolate Poke Cake.

Fruity Desserts

While we are a ways away from spring, there’s nothing quite like a light and refreshing fruity dessert to get you through the winter blues. Whether it’s a my favorite Strawberry Mascarpone Cake or even an Almond Raspberry Muffins for breakfast, you can’t really go wrong.

Valentine’s Day Favorites

If you’re anything like me, you like to share your love for desserts with the ones you love. This Valentine’s day, if you’re not interested in actually baking, you can try something like my No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake or homemade Chocolate Truffles. If you would prefer something a little more red or pink, you can start with a simple Red Velvet Cookie or try one of these Valentine’s day desserts. Personally I’d go for the sugar cookies.
