Baked Sunday Mornings: Baked Ultimate Birthday Cake
Happy New Year! You guys, 2016 was rough. I’m hoping that 2017 will be a better year, but given the impending doom that will befall our nation on January 20, I’m bracing myself for more rough times ahead. But hey, *today* is New Year’s Day, so let’s start things off with CAKE. Because what better […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Orange Pineapple Walnut Fruitcake
Insofar as I would ever like fruitcake, I didn’t hate this Orange Pineapple Walnut Fruitcake as much as I thought I would. And I fully expected to hate it because it was one of the recipes that I tested for Baked Occasions a few years back. The recipe was a good fruitcake recipe, assuming you find fruitcake edible […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Pink Peppermint Stick Ice Cream with Homemade Hot Fudge
I didn’t mean to make it Pepto Bismol pink. Apparently I have a heavy hand when it comes to food coloring– I wonder if someday I will learn to start with just a couple of drops, or am I doomed to a lifetime of electric/circus/princess-colored treats? Now I know that “Deep Pink” is, in fact, […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Cinnamon Chipotle Sugar Cookies
I love living in the San Francisco Bay Area… I may have mentioned that one or two or 46 times before. There are few other American communities so rich in diversity– we have nearly every kind of people represented within an 80-mile or so radius, which means lots of food, holidays, rituals, and generally cool […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Milk Chocolate Malted Brownies with Chocolate Ganache
Brownies twice in a row for Baked Sunday Mornings— I can definitely embrace this lifestyle. Two weeks ago, we made Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Chocolate Brownies, which I unexpectedly struggled with a bit. I felt like my brownie skillz were shaky all of a sudden, and if there’s one thing I’ve felt pretty comfortable with, it’s BAKED […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Chocolate Brownies
Houston, we have a problem. If there’s one thing I’ve been able to count on, almost without fail, over the past number of years, it’s BAKED‘s brownie recipe. That recipe has been my go-to again and again since, what, 2009? Deep in my heart, I know that I will never have any need in my […]
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 […]
Kisses From Italy: Baci di Dama
I used to say that I didn’t care for Italian desserts. Even after spending three weeks in Italy a couple of summers ago, I was still fairly lukewarm, except for good cannoli, gelato, and a few other select things that were obvious no-brainers. My tastes have always leaned more towards American and French pastry styles, but that […]
