These Strawberry Gin Smash Pop-Tarts are a hundred times better than the kind that come in those thin foil pouches. The pastry is buttery and flaky, super tender and easy to bite into, and the jam is fresh and sweet from the use of real strawberries (unlike the store-bought brand which uses dried strawberries, dried …
Sometimes a recipe looks mighty intimidating but it is actually incredibly simple. That’s the case with this Fig, Honey, & Walnut Babka. If you take a look a the ingredients or the instructions, it might look like there is a lot involved. However, once you get into the process, you realize it’s actually quite simple. …
Chocolate chip cookies are just about as classic as a bake can get. They are just about everywhere you turn. Sometimes, you want to take those classic flavors and fold them into something just a little less common, something that doesn’t try too hard but is worth all the attention that it will get. These …
If there is anything that screams summer, it’s a nice cold margarita rimmed with salt and sipped in the sun. This Margarita Cake is the baked dessert equivalent of its namesake drink. Two moist, fluffy sponges are brushed with tequila and layered with a lightly salted lime and tequila Swiss Meringue buttercream that is so …

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 …
