Baked Sunday Mornings: Caramel Apple Cupcakes
Most of the time, anything involving the combination of apples and caramel is a good thing in my book, be it cake, pie, tarts, or simply dipping slices of apple in a good caramel sauce and calling it dinner. The single preparation that I can currently think of that I don’t like is… caramel-dipped apples… which […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Nutella Scones (& Vanilla Bean Affogato Cameo)
Sometimes I forget how amazing Nutella is… Wow, seeing those words written down, I do realize how ridiculous it sounds. BECAUSE WHO COULD FORGET ABOUT NUTELLA. I don’t bake with Nutella nearly enough, so I took the opportunity this week to open a new jar and get reacquainted. Our current Baked Sunday Mornings recipe is Vanilla […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Monster Cookies
Sometimes I’m wrong about cookies. This could be a good thing, or a bad thing, depending on the cookie situation at hand. I was not especially excited to make these Monster Cookies for this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings recipe; not that there was anything wrong with them per se, but they just didn’t speak to me. Now […]
Deb’s Mom’s Apple Cake
I’ve been living in Tel Aviv for 3 months now, which in and of itself, blows my mind, but more importantly at the moment, I’m about to celebrate my first Rosh Hashanah ever in Israel. (Okay, technically I celebrated a few as a baby, but seeing as how I was barely a sentient being, I feel […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Brewer’s Blondies
Sometimes you just need a little something comfortable and familiar. I’m still getting used to living in Tel Aviv, which is in some ways a cosmopolitan city, and in other ways, the Wild Wild (Middle East)West. I’m still trying to figure out where to find some of my basic baking ingredients, as mentioned in my […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Sweet & Salty Cake
Wow, it’s been a minute. In the six years that I’ve been writing this blog, I’ve never taken a hiatus of more than a couple of weeks (I think?), but it has been a doozy of a few months. I mentioned in my last post that I just moved halfway around the world to Tel Aviv, […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Hazelnut Cinnamon Chip Biscotti
Hi. I haven’t blogged in something like 6 weeks, which I don’t think has happened in the entire 5.5-year lifespan of Stellina Sweets. But I have a very excellent reason! I have been feverishly preparing and packing to move abroad (read = NOT FUN), and I’m finally here in Israel, where I plan to spend the […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chipotle Cheddar Biscuits
Friends, I made biscuits, but I didn’t have time to write about them. This is a first. I tend to be pretty busy, but finding time to bake and blog is a top priority for me no matter what’s going on. But! Right now is a little different because I’m two weeks away from a […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Almond Joy Tart
Who grew up thinking they “didn’t like” coconut? *raises hand* I definitely spent my childhood being repelled by this tropical treasure, an aversion based on exactly zero real-world evidence, perhaps even zero contact. I don’t know at what point the tide turned, at what point it occurred to me to actually try coconut… And I […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Grasshopper Cake
If you are reading this and you are a chocolate-mint enthusiast, this is a good day. I’ve never been a mint person, but as has happened often, BAKED recipes have helped me turn. This week’s recipe for Baked Sunday Mornings is their classic Grasshopper Cake from BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking, a glorious chocolate/ganache/frosting layered thing […]
