Barrel of Monkeys Cake

So, the actual concept here (and above photo) is my own, for my son's 1st birthday, but it was inspired by the following pin:

I made a layered banana cake from this recipe, and used this chocolate cream cheese frosting recipe, and simply stuck the kit kat bars to the sides, and decorated the top with the monkeys and candle. So tasty and so cute!

Greek Yogurt Banana Bread/Scones/Muffins

I pinned this when I had some greek yogurt to use up, and it turned out fantastic! So moist and yummy. It did go bad faster than regular banana bread though - I didn't notice at first read that she suggests keeping it in the fridge. Mine lasted at least 3-4 days out of the fridge (wasn't as good as fresh, but it was still edible, unlike a couple days later when it clearly went bad), but I imagine it might have lasted longer if I'd kept it in the fridge.

Creme Brulee French Toast

I made this for Christmas morning this year, and it was SO good, and SO easy! I didn't even prep it the night before - just did it in the morning, and it still came out perfect. Definitely pintastic!
