This cake was a labor of love. Do you ever have something that you firmly believe will be amazing, but every attempt you make at is just isn’t quite right? For me, that was this Orange Pistachio Cake. I made this cake last year for my birthday because I couldn’t get the thought of orange, …
Sometimes I wonder why I don’t spend more time making scones. I love them flaky and sweet & I love them on the more biscuity side with just a hint of sweetness (like these Earl Grey & Honey Blueberry Scones!). Either way, I firmly believe that you just can’t go wrong with a scone. Especially …
Cinnamon Roll Doughnuts (Donuts).
Skip my rambling and just go straight to the recipe at the bottom. It speaks for itself!
For some reason, even though there is zero Irish in my DNA, this seems to be the one holiday besides Christmas where I can actually get on board with creating bakes to celebrate the day (okay, I guess I did have an Easter bake last year as well). And how can you resist when it …
I’ve spent the last two days completely lost in old seasons of the Great British Bake Off. It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with the show, and it’s literally my go-to whenever I find myself in a funk or at a bit of a loss. Despite having seen every series, watching the bakers work their …
You know what flavors go really well together? Raspberry, chocolate, and hazelnut. And when I say this, I mean really really well. Nutella has that sweet, milk chocolate flavor mixed with a bit of hazelnut. But what happens when you take that, add some extra toasted hazelnuts to amplify the nuttiness of the spread, and …
I have had blueberry and balsamic vinegar on my mind for years. No joke. A few years ago, I made a blueberry pie for my friend Sara’s birthday with a brown sugar and oat crumble topping. I never got a bite of it, but have been obsessed with the way the blueberries and balsamic vinegar …
These cookies are magical. They’re essentially the pastry form of a time machine. From the moment I tasted the dough, I was transported back to a way simpler time in life where I could eat half a dozen cookies in a day without total judgment because a kid giving in to her sweet tooth & …
Yep. You read that right: Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Blondies. I also like to call these Koopa Troopa Blondies. Why is that? Because these blondies were made with my favorite coffee shop in mind: The Wormhole–an amazing place full of ’80s nostalgia (so much Winona Ryder, including a Heathers poster), floppy disks, the original Nintendo …
Okay. Okay okay okay. I know I said that I was done with the cookie project after last year, but I can’t just abandon cookies completely! They’re usually pretty quick to throw together (unless you’re making my Snickers Cookies or Coffee, Sage, and Maple Millionaire’s Shortbread–those both take a bit of prep but are totally …
