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 […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Salted Caramel Soufflé
I have a confession, and it may disqualify me from being a food blogger; in fact, maybe I should cut my losses and back away from the oven altogether… Okay, here goes nothing: I have never watched Julia Child. Go ahead– judge, gasp, point fingers… it’s to be expected for such an egregious culinary transgression. […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Traditional Linzer Cookies
Christmas cookies in July? This girl ain’t gonna say ‘no’. (Let’s be honest, I’m not going to say ‘no’ to any cookies any time of the year.) Our Baked Sunday Mornings baking schedule is mostly aligned with the holidays represented in Baked Occasions, but sometimes we have to fit recipes in at different times of the year, particularly […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Brown Sugar Shortcakes with Mixed Berries & Whipped Cream
I love when I’m wrong about dessert– sometimes I need to be put in my place. I wasn’t particularly stoked for this recipe, especially since we just made another berry recipe for Baked Sunday Mornings two weeks ago, but I was very, very wrong in my ambivalence. This is the time of the season that […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chai Spice Trifle with Mixed Berries
God save the Queen!… is what I was thinking while straining my chai spice pastry cream. I never really thought of custard as an area of weakness in my baking repertoire, though now I’m starting to wonder. But let’s back up for a minute to honor a royal birthday! In celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Strawberry Supreme Cake
It’s summer berry season, friends, and I could not be more excited about that! You know how sometimes it doesn’t feel like Fall until you taste that first bite of pumpkin, or gingerbread and peppermint in December? Spring and summer in California sort of blend into each other, with magnificent berries and cherries and tomatoes bursting into the farmers’ markets in […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Derby Cookies
Walnuts used to be an occasional baking ingredient for me; maybe I had some in the pantry, maybe I didn’t. BUT! all of a sudden my kitchen is bursting with delicious walnut-laced delights, such as Mae’s Crescent Cookies a few weeks ago. The rippled nuts were not particularly a favorite of mine, but that has […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Hippie Cake
In the world of chocolate cake, there are those that make you want to weep tears of joy and ecstasy, and others that try really hard, but lack something in flavor or texture. This week’s Baked Sunday Mornings recipe for Hippie Cake from Baked Occasions fell into the latter category for me. This vegan chocolate cake was created […]
