The past couple days I've been overwhelmed with desserts.

If you're like me, you prefer savory and salty, over sweet any day. With the Holiday Season in full swing I've been overwhelmed with sweets lately: cookies, brownies, pastries, and cakes. The sugar overflow got me thinking- here are four SAVORY cakes I'd rather be eating this December...

1. Pizza Cake


Pizza dough, melted cheese, spicy/savory tomato sauce, and pepperonis all layered and baked together in a cheesy delicious cake. If you love pizza, you'd surely love pizza cake- it's literally just a larger, taller version of the delicious Italian classic. Pair with ranch dressing, red pepper flakes, and parmesan cheese for the best flavor combinations.

2. Sushi Cake

White sticky rice, shrimp, tuna, salmon, crab, and lobster all rolled up with seaweed and delightfully arranged into a beautiful seafood cake. Wasabi and ginger toppings can be placed near the Sushi extravaganza for those extra tangy and spicy flavors. If you love sushi, you would surely love it artfully arranged in cake-form.

3. Fried Chicken and Mashed Potato Cake

Okay, this just sounds like a classic Southern party cake. Mashed potatoes, corn bread and yams, drizzled with gravy and topped with a few deliciously fried chicken pieces. Savory and salty with a bit of unexpected protein. This cake is the ultimate salty-flavor fan!

4. Cheeseburger Cake

As simple and tasty as it sounds- one large bun, a beef (or turkey) patty, cheese, tomato, onion, lettuce, pickles, and your condiments of choice all in rather large proportions. This "cake" is basically just a large cheeseburger that is cut into slices. It may seem easy, but it tastes delicious and would satisfy any savory craving. Plus it is always fun to eat foods in different ways!

So there you have it, four savory and salty cakes that you may enjoy more than chocolate if you are anything like me. Don't get me wrong, I love a cookie or cupcake now and then, but when it really comes down to it, I'd pick a slice of pizza over a pastry any day of the week.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
