Top 10 Desserts of 2016

Happy New Year!  Have you recovered form the holidays?  Still eating cookies?  Guilty party of one right here!  I’m so ready for everything this year has to offer, and there’s so many exciting things coming up, but before we can dive into all the new and shiny, here’s the best of 2016!

This is always my favorite post of the year because it highlights the desserts you loved, baked, commented on, and instagrammed the most!  From retro desserts to boozy cookies, there’s a little bit of everything here, and by the looks of the top 3, you guys really love your cake!  File that one under reasons why we’re friends!

There’s no way I can possibly pick a favorite because I love them all, so let’s just dive right in and let the sprinkles fly!

10. Birthday Cake Sugar Cookie Bars

9. Apple Pie Cupcakes

8. Baileys Shamrock Cookies 2.0

7. Mini Lemon Blueberry Loaves

6. Boozy Peanut Butter Cookie Cups

5. Chocolate Cream Pie Jars

4. Raspberry Whoopie Pies

3. Baileys Cookies and Cream Layer Cake

2. Red Wine Naked Layer Cake

1. Meyer lemon Blackberry Layer Cake

That red wine layer cake is all kinds of ridiculous, and it’s one of those cakes that I look for any reason to make.  I was so excited to see the mini lemon blueberry loaves made the cut too because meyer lemon season is almost here, and if you haven’t tried them, you’ll want to fix that real quick!  Oh, and the shamrock cookies!  I know it’s only January, but Saint Patrick’s Day will be here before we know it, and those boozy little confections are a party waiting to happen!

Thank you so much for spending time here, reading, baking, commenting, emailing, baking some more, and snapping pics! I am so grateful I get to share all of this with you, and there’s nothing better than knowing you guys are baking and enjoying the recipes.  If there’s any special recipes you’d like to see this year, make sure to leave me a comment!
