Well it's about that time of year again! Time to take a look at all the fun and tasty times we've had here on The Cake Chica! There are a few familiar treats on the list this year. You may have remembered them from the Top 10 Recipes of 2015. We also have several new treats on the list so check out the list below to see if your favorites made the cut!

10. Baked Sweet Potato Fries

The best way to get me to eat sweet potatoes is in French fry form! And bonus points for being baked and healthy!

9. Pepper-Crusted Filet Mignons with Blue Cheese-Chive Butter 

You may have seen this recipe on the top 10 list for 2015. It makes the list again. And for good reason. I haven't been to a steak restaurant in years. There is no need to when I can make an awesome steak at home!

Another one you may remember from the top 10 list in 2015. Everyone should have a basic Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting in their recipe repertoire. Why not make this one yours?
