Princess Castle - Nana's 1st Decorative Cake for Her Grandchildren | #BirthdayCake #FromJesstoYou
In May 2015 my mother (Nana) decided to create my then 4-year-old Daughter's Birthday Cake instead of ordering one. Nana decided on creating a Princess Castle for her Princess and it was quite the success (please check out the photos below)!!
The cake was a box one that was a purple swirl. My daughter loved it!
I was quite proud, especially since it was the first time for her to take something like this on!

KISSES Candy Cane Blossoms | Hershey's @HersheyCompany #fromjesstoyou #dessert
** I first found this recipe on the back of the Hershey's Kisses bag (see below photos) in December 2014. Check out Hershey's website for more info. **
Ingredients- 48 HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Candy Cane Mint Candies
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine (1 stick), softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/3 cup red or green sugar crystals, granulated sugar or powdered sugar for rolling
- Heat oven to 350°F. Remove wrappers from candies.
- Beat butter, granulated sugar, egg and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; add alternately with milk to butter mixture, beating until well blended.
- 3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in red sugar, granulated sugar, powdered sugar or a combination of any of the sugars. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and cookie is set. Remove from oven; cool 2 to 3 minutes. Press a candy piece into center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Makes about 48 cookies.
Recipe/Ingredients Changes : I didn't change a thing!
My Family's Verdict :
My Thoughts : These were my first attempt in baking cookies for my daughter's school teachers ... and it worked out well that my daughter was able to help make them too. I would definitely bake/make them again. However, you really need to be a peppermint fan for you to truly enjoy this version.
My 3-year-old Daughter's Thoughts : LOVED making them as they were easy and very interactive for her age. Plus she enjoyed eating them too.
Gift Receiver's Thoughts : They raved about them! But whether that was because of the gesture in receiving them OR because they actually liked them still remain to be seen. =0)

Paleo Almond Butter Cookies | Simply Taralynn @TaralynnsTweets #fromjesstoyou #dessert
To read the full Paleo Almond Butter Cookies recipe by Simply Taralynn click here.
My Attempt/Success with this Recipe :
Recipe/Ingredients Changes : It worked out very well, except all I could find at the time was crunchy almond butter.
My Family's Verdict :
My Thoughts : We all really liked them. A little dry but tasty! However, they were VERY crumbly and I'm not sure if that was because of the crunchy almond butter OR just how the cookies are typically.
