Cannoli Sheet Cake

What a bizarre time these (how many?) months have been… When everything locked down in mid-March and life shrunk down to me and my apartment walls, I found myself in […]

Cookie Butter Cheesecake

Just like that, two full years have come and gone. In June 2018, I left my life as I knew it, with the intention of moving to Israel (where I […]

Baked Sunday Mornings

Baked Sunday Mornings: Malted Crisp Tart

I feel like a broken record when I say, “I can’t believe I’ve never baked [x]” from one of the BAKED cookbooks. I’ve been baking out of them for so […]

Guinness Stout Cake

I’m not generally one to drink by myself at home. I’d rather eat my calories any day of the week, especially dessert. But right now in Coronaland, days and calories […]

Cakes

Green Tea Rhubarb Pudding Cake

I think it’s safe to say that St. Patrick’s Day 2020 will go down in history as the saddest/strangest/quietest St. Patrick’s Day in modern times. No parades, no drunken bar […]

Cookies & Small Treats

Black Sesame Coconut Rugelach Spirals

Baked Sunday Mornings: Coconut Snowball Cupcakes

Alllll the coconut. Give it to me. Is it possible to fall more in love with coconut over time? Because did I mention… I want all the coconut things. I’m […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Almond Green Tea Cupcakes

As I’ve started my hectic school year after more than a year off, I’m feeling very nostalgic this week for some of the lovely, more peaceful moments spent in Israel […]

Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Bundt Cake

I have to admit… I am extremely picky when it comes to red velvet. It can be wickedly, amazingly good, or it can be tragically, horridly bad (or something bland […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon Lemon Loaf

Sometimes recipes that seem so docile and unassuming provide more drama than I’d care to revisit. If you consider, say, the Lemon Lemon Loaf from BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking that […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon Drop Cake

Baked Sunday Mornings: Almond Joy Tart
