I am always trying to get my family to give me requests for baking. I am always happy to indulge an idea, or make something out of an idea. But I feel like I so rarely get requests! They’re happy with me making whatever I want, but frankly I enjoy a bit of direction. So…
Chocolate Orange Shortbread
As I work on my State Fair Baking plan, I’ll need to decide which categories are worth entering. I think I can make a great shortbread, but… can’t a lot of people? How do you stand out in a category where the the basic form of the recipe has three ingredients? It’s butter, flour, and…
The Return of the King: The One Ring Brownies (Orange Chocolate Whiskey Brownies)
In the final Lord of the Rings movie, they don’t do a lot of eating. And they really don’t eat much dessert. Not shocking, considering they’re waging war and trudging through Mordor. I don’t think Mordor has many great bakeries. (The Orcs are not a great market I guess?) You’d think they might have a…
The Two Towers: Lembas Bread Shortbread
The Lord of the Rings marathon continues, and for the Two Towers, Lembas bread was the clear answer for what to bake. This reddit post that I referenced before shows that they eat Lembas bread 3 times in the Two Towers. And while it is part of a pivotal plot point in the Return of…
Corn Blueberry Cookies
I feel like a presidential candidate or something, because I am now “announcing my intention” to enter into the State Fair baking competition this year. I’ve been pouring over the rules and trying to make sense of all the categories, and now I’m trying to come up with what I want to enter. I’ve got…
Brownie Caramel Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies
My latest baking obsession has been this brownie caramel from Milk Bar. I used it in two different tartes I’ve made recently, and I cannot get enough of it. I want to put it in everything, so naturally that has led to these Brownie Caramel Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies. And when I made this Half…
Strawberry Lemon Cookies
I am back at it again with my trusty cookie recipe! Can’t be surprised any more, can we? It’s just an old reliable recipe at this point. This time, I took the cookie base from these, and the frosting from these. And then, voila! Strawberry Lemon Cookies. Strawberry Lemon is an underrated flavor combination, in…
Half Baked Tarte
This is not actually a half baked tarte, it’s just inspired by the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream flavor Half Baked. I became a big fan of Half Baked ice cream in Germany, where my mom conceded to buying Ben & Jerry’s ice cream more often than usual, because it was an American treat. So…
