As I said in my Carrot Cake Scuffin post, I have not made many carrot cakes in my life. Which is a surprise, considering the amount of carrots I’ve consumed! (If you know, you know.) And, it’s a delicious cake! Moist, spiced, cream cheese frosting… reliable. You can add a lot of bells and whistles…
Chocolate Coconut Cupcakes
These cupcakes were a bit of an impulse bake because I wanted to try out this decorating technique. Which typically is not my strategy when it comes to baking! I’m more of a taste-over-looks baker. But it’s Easter time and I’ve been seeing Cadbury egg ideas everywhere, so I hopped on the bandwagon. I also…
Old Fashioned (Cocktail) Shortbread Cookies
I have beef with the NYT Cooking section. They are behind a paywall about 90% of the time. Just give me ads! I’m not paying you! There’s so much free baking information on the internet that if I can’t access one specific recipe, I’m going to figure it out myself. Which is what happened with…
Junior vs Adult Bake Off: Cinnamon Snowflake Bread
This is part two of my Junior vs. Adult Bake Off comparison. Last time, I made the Pizza Star Bread from JBO Season 6’s bread week. It was delicious, and very very easy to make. This time, I made the Cinnamon Snowflake Bread from this 2024’s Holiday Bake Off episode. Immediately, it was more complex…
Junior vs. Adult Bake Off: Pizza Star Bread
My family was thrilled when this year’s Great New Year’s Baking Show brought back the greatest the GBBO tent has ever seen: Jürgen. We watched the two holiday episodes this holiday season, and appreciated getting to see Jürgen back in the tent, and even performing his trombone. And then when they were done I convinced…
Speculoos Milk Bar Pie
Well well well… After a (personal) record-breaking 78 posts in 2024, I’ve taken a whole week to post in 2025! But fear not, I aim to keep posting just as much in this new year. My goal for last year was to post 52 times (once a week), which I managed to surpass considerably. And…
Orange Chocolate Ice Cream
I’ve definitely talked about this before, but I think the most underrated flavor combination is chocolate orange. I simply cannot get enough of it. And I’ll eat it in any form: bars, brownies, cake, cookies… and now ice cream! And especially in the world of Christmas flavors, I think it does not get enough attention. Chocolate…
Homemade Lebkuchen
It’s funny to put “Homemade” in the title of this post, as if anything on this blog wasn’t going to be. But the qualifier feels necessary here, because Lebkuchen is something that I never think of as homemade! Lebkuchen around the holidays is a family tradition, and in the past we’ve gotten it from Germany….
