This delicious pound cake has been sponsored by Aiya America, who inspires my matcha Christmas creations year after year. I used to be firmly in the cookie camp, but this year I’ve got to say that my new favorite Christmas dessert is actually pound cake. Specifically, a dense, moist, and sweet pound cake that’s drizzled…
Salted Caramel Apple Upside Down Cake
I’m not going to be able to hand out candy tonight because I’ll be in the motherland (AKA South Jersey) celebrating my dad’s very spooky birthday, which will be nice but alsooo a bit of a bummer because I’m totally overzealous about all things Halloween-related, and because I know that there won’t be any Halloween candy…
Pumpkin Crumb Muffins with Cream Cheese Glaze
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #SavorPumpkinSeason #CollectiveBias I’m entirely aware that it’s usually not a good thing to say that your breakfast was inspired by your dog’s food. But just hear me out for a second here. My girl Roux is a super-spoiled…
No-Bake Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Bars
The truth– if you care to know it– is that I’m a cynic. (Though if you’ve been reading for a while, this should come as no surprise.) I will probably leave this world just as distrusting, disillusioned, and full of whining as I entered it; still a crusader of personal space and timely break-ups; still the last…
Mexican Chocolate Custard Cake with Spiked Marshmallow Whipped Cream
I’m not up-to-date on my Sesame Street these days, but back when I was just a wee tyke, they’d always let you know of some special numbers and letters that were important to the show– and I’m totally ripping them off today with this post that is brought to you by the #26.
Malted Guinness Chocolate Cake with Baileys Frosting
There’s nothing wrong with just slapping some green frosting on your cupcakes for St. Paddy’s day, but if you want a dessert that really will make the Irishmen (and ladies) swoon, this Malted Guinness Chocolate Cake with Baileys Frosting is what you should be baking this year. And next year. And every chance you get for…
Easy Salted Caramel Molten Lava Cakes
Do you remember those classroom motivational posters? You know what I’m talking about– the ones that read “Believe And You Will Succeed,” or “If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It,” or some other feel-good phrase that made us elementary-aged children super self-assured. Well, my biggest life goal at that age was to be a dinosaur…
Sugar Stenciled Raspberry Dark Chocolate Cake
I was all set to make a flourless torte for James. I had the ingredients all measured out, I had my pan sprayed, and for once, I was feeling pretty confident that I would get a sweet recipe right the first time around. “Are you making cake?” James asked, wide-eyed and obviously excited. “Well, yes,…
Birthday Cake Remix Brownies
When I was in high school, I worked in a pretty pathetic mall (there were like 3 stores in the place that stayed open for more than a month) at an Auntie Anne’s. There was honestly no reason to visit that mall unless you wanted a pretzel or ice cream. No reason at all. But in…
Carrot Cake Cheesecake
As I mentioned in the last post, my birthday is this month! More specifically, it’s in just over a week, and Easter happens to fall on it this year. But what does one do to celebrate when they turn 24? I have no idea. I should probably figure that out and plan accordingly. (I won’t…
Pumpkin Coffee Cake with Maple Caramel Sauce
Usually, I try to resist the urge to whip up homemade baked goods. This is because: Not every attempt in my kitchen is a victory Baking is a science, and that was never my strong suit 1 + 2 = higher chance of failure than I feel comfortable with I mean, really. With baking, there’s…
Glazed Doughnut Cocktail
“Doughnuts. Is there anything they can’t do?” – Homer Simpson When I was in kindergarten, my mom and my childhood best friend’s mom would take turns driving us to school every morning (there were no buses that went to our area), and every time Talia’s mom drove, we’d stop to get fresh doughnuts at…
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Can Cake
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m no baker. Seriously, if you’re searching for some beautiful work of culinary art, look away now. However, I’ve got to say that these turned out pretty awesome, aesthetically, for the amount of amateur ability that was put into them. They taste even better. …
Red Velvet Wreath Cakes with Colorful Cream Cheese Frosting
(Day 5 of the 12 Days of Christmas) I’m not too modest to say it—I’m a good cook. Baking, though… baking is just not my forte. As much as I try to bake delightfully buttery sugar or gooey chocolate chip cookies, I can’t wrap my head around baking techniques. Baking, to me, seems like…
