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 […]

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

I’ve always been one to dabble in different cultures. I was born in Israel, raised in California, studied in Boston and Paris, and I travel as much as I possibly […]

Baked Sunday Mornings

Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon-Almond Meringue Tarts

Finally– the cover shot. We are so close to the end of baking through BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking, and therefore the end of Baked Sunday Mornings. (So many tears!!) And […]

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: Marble Bundt Cake

Layer cakes, I MISSED YOU. It has been almost a […]

Baked Sunday Mornings

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

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

Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon Drop Cake

The top of my cake hierarchy reads something like this: chocolate, vanilla (with or without rainbow sprinkles), red velvet, pistachio, coconut– with minor changes in the order depending on mood. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Double Chocolate Irish Cream Babka

If I was in charge of March, I would decree that St. Patrick’s Day dinners should be heartily enjoyed all month long. This Irish affair would flow with corned beef, […]

Chocolate Coconut Macaroon Cake

If you know anything about Passover desserts, you know that they can be a challenge and we often have to compromise to uphold the rules of being Kosher For Passover. […]
