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…
Mohnkuchen
This Mohnkuchen is no joke, when it comes to the poppyseeds. It will re-define what a poppyseed cake means. As I think it should! Poppyseeds are the main event. Mohnkuchen is the German name for it, and as with many German desserts, it’s loaded with almond flavor, and it’s not too sweet. I remember learning…
Chocolate Craic Pie Layer Cake
We celebrated my sister’s birthday a week early this past weekend. Which, naturally, means that she’ll be getting two birthday cakes. When I asked her what she wanted, she easily came up with two requests. This one was a brainstorm of “something very chocolate,” that eventually led to a craic pie frosting. I was only…
Yeasted Apple Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Brown Butter Crumb

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…
Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Cake
I mentioned in this post that this ice cream cake idea has been on my list to make for years. I have had various iterations of it in my head for a while, but a few summers have come and gone now and I haven’t gotten around to it. Until now! I finally decided I…
Banana Brown Butter Baby Bundt Coffee Cake
Banana Brown Butter Baby Bundt… say that five times fast! I am pretty good about getting through my weekly bananas – five or six for the week, for before all my runs. But sometimes, the bananas are not on the same schedule as me, and I wind up with one that gets too brown. And…
