I’ve had this cake on my list for most of the summer. And sweet lord, it is good. It also has like a whole lot more steps than I normally take on. But, the minute I tasted this frosting I knew it was all worth it. I have literally never tasted anything so light and…
Yes, I made up this cake name. Yes, it is perfect for any firework related holiday but really perfect for the 4th of July. Or perhaps a child’s birthday? Either way, I have a lot of excess pop rocks and I’d like to find a new home for them preferably outside of my house. The…
Have you ever eaten a good, fudgy brownie … and been like why can’t this be a whole cake? If so, this is the cake for you. It is like a cake make out of just the middle fudgy part of the brownie. Not the crust not the bottom, not the edges… just the…
Well, this is my second cake. The frosting didn’t come out quite as beautiful as the first one last week – but it tastes pretty delicious and I’m good with that. On Friday, I googled “spring cakes” and landed on this website called “The Cake Blog”. So many good options. I’m actually a little tempted…
Ah banana bread. So delicious and wonderful … and you secretly think you are making a healthy decision because of the bananas. I had/have a pile of very ripe bananas from when my baby brother stayed with me a week or so ago. It would have been very easy to just whip those bad boys…
To continue on the Cinco de Mayo party…. I also made a margarita macaron. I figured if I was buying tequila, I might as well use it for two things instead of just one. As a result, we have these beautiful babes on a plate. It’s been awhile since I made macarons. It always feels…
I thought this cake seemed like a great idea from the name. A Guiness cake? perfect for our family St. Patrick’s Day dinner. Plus, I had 5 Guiness in the house and this called for 1 and the stew I made needed 4. I am a big fan of finishing things off. It’s why I…
Ok – this picture doesn’t exactly look like a success story. Where are all the blueberries? In the bottom of the loaf. Not the best. But, I’ll do better next time. Blueberry distribution aside … this cake is incredibly delicious. That might have something to do with the amount of sugar and butter or just…
I have watched a whole lot of “Great British Baking Show” this year… and one thing that seems pervasive on that show is people screwing up a rolled dough. In their defense, it is usually a sponge cake and that seems hard. But, I absolutely had flashbacks to the show when I was making these…
I’m not sure when I became a fan of gingersnaps, but it most certainly hasn’t been my entire life. So, any time I have the opportunity to try a ginger cookie…. I will. My default favorite are the Trader Joes version. They are delightfully small but have chunks of ginger in them. So what makes…
