Short Cut Pecan Praline Cream Cheese King Cake

This post is sponsored by Tony Chachere’s, but all opinions are 100% my own.

It’s officially Carnival season, which is my second favorite time of the year because Carnival season also means King Cake season! I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create this delicious short cut pecan praline cream cheese king cake that is made with crescent rolls so that you can enjoy a delicious king cake with way less effort and time. This shortcut king cake has a delicious cream cheese pecan praline filling and tastes just like it was made from scratch! You are going to love making this shortcut king cake version every single year!

Glazed Grapefruit Bundt Cake

Glazed Grapefruit Bundt Cake

This post is sponsored by Winter Sweetz, but all opinions are 100% my own.

Citrus season is truly one of my favorites gifts of the season and grapefruit has to be my absolute favorite citrus of them all when they are at their peak ripeness.  I partnered with my friends at Winter Sweetz, to create a delicious way to use those perfectly ripe and beautiful grapefruits.  I created this glazed grapefruit bundt cake that is infused with not only grapefruit juice, but also the zest giving it the ultimate grapefruit flavor throughout each bite.  This glazed grapefruit bundt cake is not only a beauty, but is also equally as tasty to serve up too.
