Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you're not alone, doesn’t it?

Would you ever consider doing a YouTube baking channel? It would be such a success!
Love Ya Girl xoxo
I have thought about it so many times…I really need to do it!
Hi Shelly. I subscribe to your site. The Crack Brownies sound amazing. I could only have one, but I know someone who would eat the entire pan at one sitting. Haha and I would love to make these for him . I have a question though. Do I use the mini peanut butter cups or the regular size cups?? I have to shop for the ingredients so awaiting your answer. Thank you.
PS. Loving your site. Carol
they are regular sized peanut butter cups!
I just have a couple of questions about your amazing snickers popcorn recipe. The quantity of popcorn, is it 2 cups of unpopped kernels? And the oven temperature, is that Celsius or Fahrenheit. I have been unable to locate corn syrup in Australia, do you have a recommended alternative? Apologies for all the questions,
Thanks, Rebecca
My name is Angela. I run the blog, foodiebliss, on Tumblr and I was wondering if I would be able to use your current and future photos to post on my blog?
It’s always a photo, with three links back to the original post {in the caption, content source box and click through link on the image} and also the name of the blog from where the photo comes from. I also add a link back to the homepage as well. I do not take credit for anything I post on my blog except my own creations. I never publish any recipes.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
Love your recipes! Once you have baked a cookie bar, is there a chance of bacterial infection (such as salmonella) when using cream or eggs? Would I have t store these in the fridge?
What about non baked cookie bars?
Once you cookie is baked it kills any bacteria. A no-bake recipe shouldn’t include a raw egg, so there should be no chance.
Shelly, I am interested to try your Cinnamon Roll Cookie Bars. The recipe specifies Cook and Serve Pudding. Is it possible to substitute the Instant Pudding?
I haven’t ever made it with instant. I am sure it would be ok!
Just a suggestion- I have a bunch of questions I’d love to ask you, you should do a chat with your followers where we can ask you questions!
That’s a great idea!!
Hi Shelly
Love your recipes! Great site. Keep up the good work. I own a restaurant in NH and am trying things out!
Thanks, Heather
Hi I stumbled across your popcorn balls but I don’t know where to buy your products. I live here in San Diego, who is carrying your products.

After we put our last layer of cool whip as the icing part, what should we use to cover the cake so the cool whip doesn’t stick to the cover?

Hi, I am making the Lemon Meringue Cheesecake for my sisters birthay!. I was just a bit confused about some of the terms in it. Not sure if the temperature (300) is celsius or fahrenheit. Thanks Anna
Ps: I love all your recipes
Fahrenheit!!
Anxiously awaiting news about your cookbook! Do you have a release date yet? I am ready to preorder it!
HA! I love it! I am still writing and working and testing and photographing 🙂 So it will be a bit. Right now we’re looking at Spring of 2016…seems like an eternity!
I am curious if you are ever going to get linked up with Ziplist Recipe Clipper? There are so many great recipes on here, but I have no interest in PRINTING out all the recipes that I like. I know with my group of friends, that’s a big part of the reason many of us don’t really bookmark and utilize this site. In a digital age, many of us foodies want our recipes digital and mobile in one program. Please consider it.
Ziplist is a service that is being discontinued, so I recently switched from it to Easy Recipe. All of my recipes were on Ziplist for years.
Shelly,
I’m having trouble printing the Cornucopia Thanksgiving tag…I click on the link but nothing comes up…is there something I’m not doing? Could you send me the printable via my email?
Such a cute idea!!
These cookies look and sound fantastic. I love coconut.
Do you know the calorie count per cookie for the chocolate chip coconut cookies?
Thank you for sharing.

Do you have any ideas for graduation open house menu?

Hi Shelly,
Gerard Here, love your cookies and cakes, I was wondering if you would like to do a review of my simplicity baking mat, I saw a picture of your Butter finger cookies with a mat there. We could do a giveaway for your readers as well if you like to. When you get a minute could you get back to me please about the idea.
Thanks for your time.
