The JMB Family

We have a little baker in the family. Our youngest child loves to bake. He also has a super sweet tooth! The two go hand in hand I suppose. For opening weekend at the campground he wanted to bring dessert for our other favorite baker, Tammy, to try. He missed a step in the recipe but it didn’t make or break this. He just made it all strawberry rather than half vanilla bean and half strawberry. It was still delicious!!  Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake This No Bake Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake is layers of strawberry and vanilla bean cheesecake in a graham cracker crust, topped with strawberry crunch topping! Completely no bake and delicious, you'll want this beauty on repeat in your kitchen! Ingredients Strawberry Crunch ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries, ground into powder(see note) 9 vanilla sandwich cookies (like golden oreos) 2 tablespoon salted butter, melted Graham Cracker Crust 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from about 15 whole crackers) 2 tablespoon sugar 10 tablespoon unsalted bu...

Smore Cupcakes From: Kara Hessell I mixed up crushed graham crackers and butter to make a crust for the bottom. On top of that I put chocolate cake batter and sprinkled a little more graham cracker on top. Bake ac cording to the cake mix directions. I cut large marshmallows in half and placed one on each cupcake as soon as it came out of the oven, then drizzled a little melted chocolate on top. I just used melted chocolate chips. I've learned it's a little less messy to eat if you place the graham cracker crust in the middle. Place a little cake batter on the bottom, a layer of the graham, then more cake batter. Enjoy! ^ These look amazing so I had to share.. You can find this yourself by 'Like'-ing Kraft Foods on Facebook! :)

I have tweaked the recipe a bit. For one thing, the original icing recipe made twice as much. Having a 3/4 inch-thick layer of candy on top of this yummy cake seemed like overkill to me. So I cut the recipe in half and thinned it down some so that it is more of a glaze. I prefer this more subtle addition of sweetness, and I still have icing left over after frosting the cake. I am kind of a cake snob... I like my cake made from scratch. And only real butter will do. I love any kind of pound cake. I won't even tell you how many calories this cake has in it. But it is worth every bite! Enjoy...

Recipe and photos taken from I Am Baker Did you know you can make your own cake mix? You can have high quality, delicious tasting cake with the ease and convenience of a box mix. And it just takes moments to do! Just assemble your dry ingredients as well as the sugar. Dry Ingredients: 2 3/4 cup flour 1 3/4 cups SUPER fine sugar (you can buy this or make it) 2 teaspoon baking powder 3/4 tsp salt (I will post the rest of the recipe I am using below) Sift together all ingredients and place in mason jar or your chosen storage container. And viola!  You have your own cake mix! (This recipe totaled about 4 1/2 cups of dry ingredients, so I used an eight cup mason jar) You will of course need to add the wet ingredients when you are ready to make your cake. So I just write what I need to add on a little reminder card. And don't forget the date!  I would probably try and use this within three months.  But around here, I usually use at least one jar a...
