Strawberry Crepe Cupcakes

March 19, 2012 31 Comments

As a general rule, I don’t love cupcakes unless they’re in carrot cake or chocolate-form. Vanilla, especially, is a very “blah” flavor for me. I would never eat a vanilla cupcake voluntarily. They’re boring, and I’ve been forced to eat far too many over-frosted, over-sugared vanilla treats at birthday parties over the years. But these cupcakes…I would eat them again,…read more »

Boozy Irish Cupcakes

March 14, 2012 28 Comments

The last time I had an Irish Car Bomb was senior year of college. As I recall, I didn’t even really want to drink it. I hate beer, and I stay away from whiskey if I can help it, but my friend Melissa told me that if I chugged the drink really quickly all the…read more »

Raspberry Cream Cake…and a Giveaway!

February 12, 2012 16 Comments

You know, I had big plans for my Valentine’s Day post. I was going to poach lobster tails for dinner and make Mini Red Velvet Trifles for dessert. Sounds delicious right? Yeah…problem was, I couldn’t find cake flour at the grocery store, and by the time dinner rolled around I was feeling too lazy and…read more »

Boston Cream Cupcakes

It’s T-2 hours and 11 minutes until the Superbowl, guys. I haven’t glanced at a clock in a couple hours, so how do I know that? I’ll tell you how — Dan has been counting down the hours, every hour, on the hour, out loud, since he woke up this morning. Yeah. He is really excited about this…read more »

Triple Chocolate Cake Balls

January 1, 2012 4 Comments

Happy New Year, everyone! Can you believe it’s 2012 already? 20-frickin-12. That means it’s been 20 years since I came to America, 15 years since we left Texas, almost 10 years since high school, a little less than 7 years since Dan and I got together, 5 years since college, 2 years since I left the…read more »

Kahlua Cake Trifles

December 30, 2011 11 Comments

Hi guys! Hope everyone had a fun and food-filled Christmas. Mine was pretty awesome. Dan and I went up to Massachusetts to spend the holidays with his family and between the two back-to-back holiday parties, the generalized excitement over our engagement, the many many bottles of wine, the mountains of presents, and the groaning tables…read more »

Pumpkin Spice Cake with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

November 17, 2011 31 Comments

You know, I could swear that just last week everyone was talking about their Halloween costumes and making ghoulish treats for their Halloween parties. So, it’s kind of mind-blowing that Thanksgiving is only a week away. I’ve been fighting it for as long as I can, but the upcoming holiday + naked trees outside my…read more »

Strawberry Jam Madeleines

November 8, 2011 6 Comments

Back in college, I used to bake stuff for all my friends on their birthdays. Really simple things, mainly — cakes from a box with canned frosting, and giant bag-mix cookie cakes were my specialty. If I was feeling really fancy, I’d bust out puff pastry sheets, slice some strawberries, melt chocolate, and make “fruit tarts”….read more »

The idea is that two ingredients will be assigned each month, and every participant is supposed to create something delicious with those ingredients.

Banana Whoopie Pies with Nutella Buttercream Filling

October 18, 2011 20 Comments

So, if you guys were paying attention, you’ll recall that I said there were four over-ripe bananas on top of my fridge. But, only two of ’em went into my banana cake. That means that as of 7pm last night there were still two mushy (quickly getting mushier) bananas laying around, attracting millions of fruit…read more »
