Baked Sunday Mornings: Root Beer Bundt Cake
OK, I’m going to tell you something, and you’re either not going to believe me, or you’re going to think I’m a freaking weirdo: I’ve never had root beer before. Along with late entry into peanut butter and jelly, burgers, and bacon, chuck it up to an immigrant childhood, where I just didn’t have a […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Red Hot Velvet Cake with Cinnamon Buttercream
I know. Red velvet is so over. Like, WAY over. But hear me out when I tell you that we don’t have to live this way. We can have red velvet in our lives *and* reserve the right to abstain from food trends du jour, I promise. See, red velvet started as a classic Southern […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Chip Cookies
It’s not often that I say this, but… this week, baking made me sad. I take my chocolate chip cookies very seriously, and I want them to be a certain way. When they don’t turn out that way after several attempts, I get all cranky-pants. Thus was the situation this week with the Chocolate Chip Cookies from […]
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 […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Heartland Turtle Bars
I joined Baked Sunday Mornings in Fall 2012, when the group had already baked through about ⅔ of BAKED’s second book, Baked Explorations. Although I baked most of the remaining recipes, there were quite a lot that I had missed and intended to bake eventually. If you’ve been following, you know that we’ve now baked all the […]
Rainbow Sprinkle Bread with Birthday Cake Crumb Topping
I know I’m supposed to be telling you more about what people bake in Italy, but two things are happening this week: 1) I’m leaving for a week for a family wedding in Israel, which means a) cramming in as many baking projects as possible before I go and b) procrastinating when I should be […]
#WhyIMarch: Resistance Vanilla Cake Truffles
I believe in women. I believe in equality. I believe in progress. I try not to get too political on here, because after all, the focus of this blog is to foist gluttonous amounts of butter and sugar on you, but the recent events in this country are freaking me out. To tell you the truth, […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Mini Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes
I live by the school year calendar. I lived by the school year calendar since preschool, almost continuously except for one semester after finishing college while working in the tech consulting world (*shudder*) and not taking any classes. Aside from that brief period, I have always been in school in some capacity, whether full-time or […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Frozen Swiss Chocolate Pie
Summer weekends are for eating frozen things, preferably involving chocolate. And if those frozen chocolate things happen to be slathered in fudge and whipped cream, ALL THE BETTER. Our last recipe for Baked Sunday Mornings was in honor of National Dog Day; this week we are celebrating Grandparents’ Day with Frozen Swiss Chocolate Pie from […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Chip Hush Puppies
Friday was National Dog Day. I know this only because countless friends posted Facebook and Instagram photos of their beloved canines, and also because for Baked Sunday Mornings we made Chocolate Chip Hush Puppies from Baked Occasions in honor of said furry friends this week. I didn’t grow up with four-pawed pets in the house, so I never really […]
