As I work on my State Fair Baking plan, I’ll need to decide which categories are worth entering. I think I can make a great shortbread, but… can’t a lot of people? How do you stand out in a category where the the basic form of the recipe has three ingredients? It’s butter, flour, and…
Orange Chocolate Scones
My strategy for coming up with State Fair baking ideas was to pour over the list of options and pick categories that I think won’t be too overrun, and that I know how to bake for. Then I made a list of flavor combinations that I like. And now… it’s just about pairing those ideas…
The Return of the King: The One Ring Brownies (Orange Chocolate Whiskey Brownies)
In the final Lord of the Rings movie, they don’t do a lot of eating. And they really don’t eat much dessert. Not shocking, considering they’re waging war and trudging through Mordor. I don’t think Mordor has many great bakeries. (The Orcs are not a great market I guess?) You’d think they might have a…
The Two Towers: Lembas Bread Shortbread
The Lord of the Rings marathon continues, and for the Two Towers, Lembas bread was the clear answer for what to bake. This reddit post that I referenced before shows that they eat Lembas bread 3 times in the Two Towers. And while it is part of a pivotal plot point in the Return of…
The Fellowship of the Ring: Hobbit Cupcakes
My siblings and I are doing a Lord of the Rings (Extended Editions) marathon, and I wanted to do themed food and dessert every night for it. In my search for idea, I found this reddit post that details every time they eat on screen. And I was very confused when I saw “cupcakes” listed…
Corn Blueberry Cookies
I feel like a presidential candidate or something, because I am now “announcing my intention” to enter into the State Fair baking competition this year. I’ve been pouring over the rules and trying to make sense of all the categories, and now I’m trying to come up with what I want to enter. I’ve got…
No Churn Chocolate Covered Pretzel Cookies n’ Cream Ice Cream
I’m generally pretty good at getting in and out of the grocery store pretty efficiently. But sometimes I’m drawn in by an impulse purchase. The latest one was a package of Chocolate Covered Pretzel Oreos. I couldn’t see that flavor and not try them, and I knew that if they weren’t good I could just…
Doan’s Bakery Coconut Cake
Every December for the past few years, I feel like I hear a lot about the “Tom Cruise Cake.” It’s a cake that Tom Cruise sends to probably 100 of his closest celebrity friends every holiday season. It’s apparently a big honor to be on the Cake List. I’ve even started hearing about it throughout…
Half-Batch Blueberry Coffee Cake
One thing about my Dad is that if there is a coffee cake offered at a breakfast establishment, we are going to be ordering a slice for the table. And one thing about me is that I will not complain! I think coffee cake is somewhat underrated. Or maybe it’s just me who forgets about…
Brownie Caramel Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies
My latest baking obsession has been this brownie caramel from Milk Bar. I used it in two different tartes I’ve made recently, and I cannot get enough of it. I want to put it in everything, so naturally that has led to these Brownie Caramel Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies. And when I made this Half…
