Chocolate Caramel Turtle Cupcakes

Chocolate Caramel Turtle Cupcakes | MSST

Quarantine has me going crazy! You’d think that with all of the free time I have now, that I’d be getting loads of stuff done and that my productivity would be at a max. Uhm… I’ve definitely been setting a bunch of far-fetched goals for myself that I have yet to complete, in a sad attempt to try and motivate myself. Hopefully some of you can relate to the slump I’m trapped in! These past few weeks, I’ve been mindlessly playing video games and not paying much attention to the schoolwork I should be doing. And, as you can probably tell, since I haven’t posted since January, I’ve clearly been way too lazy to drag myself into the kitchen to bake.

But today, I was feeling a little creative kick, and so I ended up spending the whole morning whipping up a batch of delicious turtle cupcakes, featuring sweet caramel buttercream frosting, an oozy chocolate ganache filling, and some pecans to garnish on top. The cake is perfectly fluffy and moist, and loaded with the rich, chocolatey goodness we all know and love; the frosting has just the perfect hint of caramel flavor; the ganache filling gives another unexpected burst of rich chocolate; and the chocolate and pecan topping ties everything together. These cupcakes are probably one of my favorite recipes I’ve made on the blog!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Cake

Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cake - MSST

I’ve always been kind of afraid to work with ice cream, if I’m being honest. In my experience, either melts too fast and makes a mess all over my kitchen, or I end up accidentally eating it all. However, this cookie dough ice cream cake has made me rethink all of my past decisions! It’s got everything you could ever want in a dessert: a layer of cool, velvety ice cream, sandwiched between two glorious layers of soft, chewy cake. Oh yeah, it’s also smothered in a thick layer of chocolate ganache, and topped with chocolate chips and actual choc chip cookies.

Look me in the eye and tell me you’re not drooling already!!!

This ice cream cake is the ultimate dessert for the summer. If you’re like me, you’re probably trying to make the most out of the last few weeks of summer. And you should definitely find time to make this cake and treat yourself to a cold, decadent bite of pure chocolate chip cookie heaven.

The Best Classic Cheesecake

The Best Classic Cheesecake - My Southern Sweet Tooth

It’s been a while since I’ve had cheesecake, and I’ve definitely made up for lost time this past month. Ever since I got back from California, I’ve been making cheesecake basically non-stop. I’m not kidding! The first one I made was in Santa Barbara (I made it for Christmas dinner), and I’ve made three more after that. That’s 4 cheesecakes in the span of three weeks!

I’ve come a long way, and I’m so excited to be sharing the final product of all of the dessert I’ve been making this January.

the ultimate chocolate cake

February 19, 2018

You guys!! This ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CAKE has me so so so excited. Moist, rich, and completely and undeniably pure chocolate.

I’ve spent the last month testing the perfect cake recipe. The one I’ve finally landed on, is actually kind of devils-food-cake-inspired! This chocolate cake is actually a teensy bit dense, but with an intense chocolate flavor (thank you thank you hot coffee).

I’d also like to point out that high quality baking cocoa is actually super important. I love Rodelle! With other recipes, I guess you could just substitute with hot cocoa mix or something, but this is the ultimate chocolate cake here. No time to skimp on the cheap stuff!

confetti cinnamon roll muffins

Sooooo 2018 is a couple days away…

So much has happened this year, yet it’s flown by so fast that I can honestly hardly remember anything! Anyone else? But I can’t wait for what the new year has in store. Even though 2017 has been a crazy year, I’m actually kind of sad that it’s ending. I’m grateful for all the excitement and adventure that this year has brought me. I wouldn’t go back and change anything!

gingerbread cake with cinnamon buttercream frosting

November 24, 2017

I hope y’all had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving! Filled with lots of stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pie, I hope. This year, instead of traveling anywhere (we went to Florida last Thanksgiving), I’ve been picking up the slack and really getting to work on my blog. And taking a long-anticipated break from schoolwork, of course.

To be honest, we aren’t much of a traditional-Thanksgiving-food type of family. My parents are both Chinese, so things like turkey and creamed corn aren’t exactly their favorite. However, for some reason my parents love stuffing and we made Tieghan’s butternut squash n’ mushroom stuffing which was SO GOOD. Let me just say, our fridge is stuffed. We’re going to be having stuffing for leftovers for two weeks straight, I swear!
