Raspberry Cinnamon Rolls

Let me start off by pointing out that these are most definitely not good for you. So, if you're on a diet you have been warned: proceed with caution!
With summer drawing to an end, I find myself craving warm desserts more and more (I included the flower to conjure up summertime memories -is it working?).  So, when I stumbled across this recipe I had to make it -with a few minor changes, of course!
The filling is the only thing I changed. I added some homemade raspberry jam (recipe to come), melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. So, it ended up being a fusion between a raspberry roll and a traditional cinnamon roll. And let me tell you something, it was so, so, good!

Troll 2 Movie Party: Why the worst things are sometimes the best things!

This year my Mr. wanted to have a movie party for his birthday and we thought, instead of showing a good movie why not show a really bad movie. And so, the idea for our Troll 2 Movie Party was born!
Mr. requested that I make him my  spumoni cake . So, this time I decided to make it as a round layer cake instead of the rectangular cake. I stuffed it full of frosting, because that's his favorite part.
The movie was...well...let's just say it was as awful as was promised. But, awful in an amazing hilarious sort of way. If you haven't seen this movie I highly recommend it, it is good for quite a few laughs!
