Talk about a decadent treat! These Buttercream Brownies from Big Girls, Small Kitchen feature a base layer of dense chocolate brownies, a thick layer of vanilla buttercream, and a thin layer of chocolate to cap the whole thing off. One of the best things about this treat, in my opinion, is that you can flavor and color the buttercream any way you like, opening up tons of possibilities. No matter what flavor and color combination you go with, these brownies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Christi at Love from the Oven created these Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls so she could make cinnamon rolls with just a little bit less work. The dough for this recipe is essentially just cake mix with some yeast and additional flour added. Easy! Once they come out of the oven, she glazes the rolls with frosting while they are still warm, which “melts into the rolls and helps keep them moist.” Once they are cooled, she adds yet another layer of frosting. The recipe calls for Duncan Hines Cinnamon Roll frosting flavoring, making it even sweeter!

Naomi from Bakers Royale, who you can thank for these beauties, says, “it’s as much of a mouthful as it reads.” There are so many layers of goodness in these Dulce de Leche Banana Bars that I don’t even know where to begin. The recipe title gives away the bananas and the dulce de leche, but doesn’t mention the toasty graham cracker crust, vanilla Oreos, salted pecans, or mini marshmallows! In a recipe like this, there is certainly the risk of overloading on sweetness, but Naomi tweaked her recipe to make sure that the ingredients are perfectly balanced. My only gripe with this recipe is that they need to be refrigerated for 30-45 minutes before they are ready to slice and serve – totally worth the planning ahead!

When strawberries are in season, there is nothing I love more than baking a strawberry pie. Now thanks to the creative genius of Brown Eyed Baker, I can’t wait to try this recipe for Strawberry Creamcheese Crumble Tart. This recipe has all the makings of the perfect summer dessert. It’s creamy, fruity, and topped with a buttery crumble. Not a strawberry lover? No problem! Michelle says, “This tart is highly adaptable depending on the season and your personal tastes. You could easily replace the strawberries with raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries, or do a mixed berry version.” What more could a baker ask for?

There’s just something wonderful about the color pink. It’s the color of blushing cheeks, baby girls, and spring flowers. Something about it just naturally attracts, and to me, this is especially true in desserts. Pink desserts are perfect for so many occasions whether it be Mother’s Day, a birthday party, a Valentine’s event, an Easter soiree, or welcoming home a new baby. Pink can add a soft touch or a touch of glam to your desserts that just can’t be achieved with any other color. And being that it is spring, and heading into summer, this seems like a perfect time to touch on some of our favorite pink frosted desserts here at BFFF for you to enjoy all summer long.

This Pink Vanilla Buttercream Frosting from Always With Butter could be a pretty topping for Mother’s Day cupcakes, or you could take Always with Butter’s author Julie’s advice and eat it with a spoon for light and fluffy sugar rush.

These Pink Eclairs from Rosie at Sweetapolita look too good to be true. Full of butter, sugar, and happiness these treats are just as light and fluffy as they look.

These adorable Pink Brownies from Sweet Anna’s are perfect for the chocolate loving lady in your life (ahem, Mom). Frosted with a simple pink buttercream, Anna’s Pink Brownies are incredibly simple and incredibly delicious.

Prepare for a cuteness overload. These Bubble Gum Ball Surprise Cupcakes from A Little Zaftig are the epitome of a cute pink dessert. Frosted with Strawberry Swiss Meringue Buttercream and Pink Rock Candy crystals, these are a perfect dessert for little girls of all ages.

For all of you who are planning a blush-themed wedding this summer: you’re welcome. This Pink Lace Cake from Hello Naomi is your cake dream come true.

Last but not least, these Vanilla Almond Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Buttercream frosting from our very own Melissa here at Best Friend’s for Frosting are a soft and pretty pink dessert that packs a punch. With a moist and fluffy almond cake base and a salted caramel buttercream topping, what’s not to love?

I hadn’t been exposed to blood orange much until my honeymoon in Italy last April. Blood orange was everywhere, and ever since, I’ve been hooked! The flavor of a regular orange usually isn’t enough to get me going, but I find the flavor of blood oranges to be so much more complex and exciting. That’s why I was thrilled to see it used in this Blood Orange Chiffon Cake with Blood Orange Curd and Rich Vanilla Bean Buttercream from Irvin Lin at Eat the Love. Fluffy, citrus chiffon cake with sweet, tart blood orange curd, and creamy vanilla frosting are sure to make this cake an absolute delight. Irvin warns that though “this fluffy and rich cake isn’t difficult to make… it might be a little time consuming,” but you can save yourself some time by making your curd ahead of time. I’d gladly spend an afternoon in the kitchen if it meant I could bring this gorgeous, delicious cake to the table when I was done!
