I’m in the process of completing a host transfer, so things are gonna look a little funny around here for the next few days. We should be back in business before Wednesday! 🙂

P.S. I’ve noticed that the transfer deleted all slideshows and disabled all links to previous posts. The replacements on those should be completed by next week. Thanks for your patience!

Eeyore’s “Hipy Bthuthday” Birthday Cake: Angel Food Cake with Blueberry Curd Filling

Posted June 26, 2014 by Alison's Wonderland Recipes in Book of the Month Recipes / 4 Comments


Eeyore might complain about coming last in the recipe lineup, but we saved him for last because this dessert is extra special: we’re creating his dream birthday cake! Complete with candles, pink sugar, and icing, this cake is everything Eeyore envisions when describing the perfect birthday cake.

The playful little poem explains that every creature is unique and acts according to its nature, essentially saying that we’re all what we’re made to be. Simple enough, right?

Happy June! Can You Guess the Next Book of the Month?

Posted June 1, 2014 by Alison's Wonderland Recipes in Hints / 0 Comments

And so ends the great month of May. I loved spending it on our Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy menu. After all, it’s not every day you get to make crazy food like Apocalypse Trail Mix, Petunia Bowl Salad, and Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters. But after all that space travel, I think I’m ready for something a little bit closer to home. For our next Book of the Month, I chose a book that celebrates the simple pleasures of summer without venturing far beyond the backyard.
I can’t wait to get started!
