I frequently thought of doing a photo series in LA called something dramatic like “The Other Side of the Camera.” Basically, it would be a photo series of side-by-sides where one photo is one you would typically see on an influencer or celebrity’s instagram. The kind that makes LA look like a beautiful and glamorous…
Chocolate Cookies with Caramelized White Chocolate
I was going to be done talking about the State Fair for a while, because it was all I was talking about for a while. But, I gave out boxes of my leftover treats to a number of family and family friends, and I got a request for a recipe for one of them! These…
Reese’s Oreo Cookies
I’ve made a grand total of $50 from this blog in the past 12-13 years. But I will treat it like it’s my job when there’s a new grocery store dessert product released. It’s my professional duty to try them and see if they can be baked with. In this case: the Reese’s and Oreo…

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…
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…
