I find most cut out cookies to be… very boring. Sorry. Just, in the world of cookies, they are so plain. The frosting is usually the best part. But the “Cookies, rolled flat before baking” category at the State Fair specifies no icing. So… it’s a small box to get creative in. And when the…
Corn Blueberry Checkboard Ice Box Cookies
The math concept I use probably the most in my Real Life is Lowest Common Denominator. It’s a useful one for baking. If you want to make a smaller batch of something, divide all the ingredients by the LCD. Which is typically the smallest amount of something that you can’t break down any further. Usually,…
Strawberry Birthday Cake
We celebrated my sister’s birthday a week early, when my family was all in town. And then, of course, for the actual day… we had to do a mini celebration again! Which meant: two cakes! She requested a chocolate-forward cake the first week, and then this strawberry birthday one the second week. Two very different…
Yeasted Apple Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Brown Butter Crumb
My State Fair strategy has led to some delightful discoveries! First, I found that potato bread is both delicious and super easy to make at home. Now, I’ve found that yeasted coffee cakes are also delicious! This coffee cake has a very light texture – still cake-like, but with a little boost from the yeast…
Gluten Free Lemon Blondies
These are gluten free and dairy free blondies actually. At least, they were until I put the white chocolate into it. I forgot that white chocolate had dairy in it. Sooo… if you are dairy-free, remember that. I was going to give these to my gluten free dairy free friend, but then it ended up…
America 250 Apple Pie with Dutch Crumb
4th of July is a tough holiday for bakers. I want to go all-out with a big dessert, but also it’s not a holiday with many established treats. Ice cream always comes to mind, and of course something red, white, and blue. But Bomb Pop can be a somewhat limiting inspiration to go off of….
Blueberry Reese’s Cookies (Based off of my Dad’s Concrete Mixer order)
Happy Father’s Day! My family is travelling this weekend, meaning baking was going to be a little hard for me to fit in. But no matter… I am not someone who is going to let a holiday pass without a treat to celebrate! So I made some cookies for the road. These cookies are a…
Cherry Cola Cupcakes
The day I finished frosting these cupcakes, the only thing on my To-Do List was “frost cherry cola cupcakes.” (I live a very difficult and busy life, clearly.) The night before, I got an email from Dahlia about their menu update… including a new Cherry Cola Cold Brew! I very rarely receive such clear cosmic…
