Marshmallow Mermaid Pie

The other day, I was watching the movie Waitress. Throughout the movie, the main character, Jenna, makes a bunch of really creative, delicious looking pies. The one that always sounds the most amazing to me is her Marshmallow Mermaid Pie. Well, I haven't baked in a while, so I decided that that pie would be the perfect recipe to try out. However, when I looked it up, I couldn't find a recipe that really seemed as amazing as the one in the movie, so I came up with my own. The end result has to be one of the sweetest things I have ever tasted!
1. Crust- vanilla Oreo (creams in!)
2. Filling #1- crushed pineapple and maraschino cherries
3. Filling #2- a combination of a lot of different sweet ingredients, but the end result is really creamy with a cream cheese-marshmallow flavor
4. Multi-colored/flavored mini marshmallows
This ended up being one of my favorite things that I have ever made, and is definitely the sweetest!
Enjoy!

Christmas Surprise

For Christmas this year, I decided to go with a Christmas classic: red velvet cake. To put a fun spin on the classic, I decided to make the cake into red and green cake balls. Half were white chocolate and the other half (because I ran out of white chocolate) were bittersweet chocolate.
For my big present this year, my parents got me a KITCHENAID MIXER!! It is adorable! I can't wait to bake with it! No more hand mixing for me!
Enjoy!
