Sometimes I think of an idea, like Coffee Toffee Blondies, and I wonder how I haven’t come up with it before. Then I look back at the blog and see that I actually have come up with at least similar ideas. Oh well, it’s like having a “brilliant minds think alike” moment with… myself. And…
A Cake Fit for a Marathon (Chocolate Ovaltine Cake)
On Saturday, I celebrated my 26.2nd birthday the best way a runner can… by running a marathon!! There were no official races this weekend, so I did this by walking out my door and running 26.2 miles across Minneapolis. This included running around 5 different lakes, passing a few landmarks. My family took turns running…
Accidentally Oreos
These were meant to be “Chocolate Birthday Cake Sandwich Cookies,” but… I took a bite out of one, and I realized I just accidentally made gourmet Oreos. I thought using clear vanilla extract in the frosting would make it sort of like Milk Bar’s chocolate birthday cake flavor, but it actually just made it very…
Blueberries and Cream Scones
Wimbledon just finished on Sunday, and as is (somewhat inconsistent) tradition, I made scones and had strawberries and cream for the occasion! I was going to make these strawberries and cream scones to really double down on the theme, but the freeze dried strawberries I got were an off batch or something, and didn’t grind…
Corn Blueberry Coffee Cake

Strawberry Shortbread Bars (AKA Funeral Bars)
These are Strawberry Shortbread Bars, but in my head I’ve always called them Funeral Bars. For the very simple reason that I had them for the first time at a funeral! And it stuck in my head, so I’ve call them that in my head every time I’ve made these. Which has been a lot…
Shortbread, Two Ways
My quest for coming up with State Fair baking entries continues. I need to pick up the pace and get serious about testing things out, with the deadline for registration looming at the end of this month. I decided to try out two variations on shortbread in one small-batch go the other day, since my…
Bomb Pop Cake
Bomb Pops are the ultimate nostalgia treat, and I’ve been glad to see them start getting their due in recent years. There’s all sorts of bomb-pop flavored energy drinks and sparkling waters and seltzers. And while those may be a bit gimmicky, I won’t complain to see the flavor offered! There’s something about those flavors…
