Blonde Brownie Ice Cream Cake
I’m pretty sure that brownies and ice cream is a combination that is just universally well-liked. So guess what I did? (Hint: refer to the title of this post). Yes, I put them both in cake form. Once it occurred to me just how easy this idea would be to bring to life, it was […]
Fried Chocolate Marshmallow Wontons
Wonton. It’s a fun word. Frying things is also fun. Eating fried things is fun too. Especially if they have chocolate and marshmallow on the inside. And if they have “wonton” in the name. These wontons = fun. Got it yet? I would definitely recommend frying up a batch of these if you’ve got your closest […]
Blackberry Limoncello Tarts
Guys, guys, guys! I went to the Portland Rose Festival last night and got to eat fried rose petals! Don’t believe me? Lookey lookey right down here . . . See? That’s salted caramel sauce that they were served with. I can now officially say that I have eaten flowers. I don’t know why but, as […]
Cookies ‘N Cream Cupcakes
I distinctly remember eating cookies ‘n cream bars as a kid during those times when my grandma would walk my brother, sister, and I over to the grocery store and buy us candy. You know, when life was so easy. And, honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever had another type of cookies ‘n cream “thing” ever […]
Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with Caramelized Apples
As much as all cake is fantastic in general, cheesecake is just a little bit special. Or a lot a bit special. I mean, come on, it’s basically the only kind of cake that does not have an actual “cake” texture, but a creamy one. Except maybe ice cream cake. But that’s basically just ice […]
Coconut-Pretzel Toffee Bars
Good things are happening here. I made a treat that has two of my all-time favorite flavors in it: brown sugar and coconut. A plate of these bars with a glass of milk = perfection. I swear I can hear the Disney song “When You Wish Upon a Star” playing in my head every time I take a […]
Balsamic Strawberry Pie
I’ve noticed the recent baking trend that has emerged amongst several desserts in which bakers are mixing savory things into their desserts. And I like it. It’s fancy. So, because one of my particular favorite sweet-and-savory flavor combos is balsamic vinegar and fruit, I thought making a pie inspired by this sounded like a very good thing […]
Lemon Poppy Seed Bread with Whipped Lemon Butter
I survived yet another school semester and now summer is officially here! I plan to utilize my newfound freedom by throwing myself into blogging endeavors and baking much more regularly during my free time. Oh how I have missed it! Anyways, my first shot at summer baking turned out swell. This bread reminds me of […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
It’s that dreaded time of the year again . . . Finals Week. Bum. Bum! BUM!! It’s hard to find some time to get to baking with all this education riff raff goin’ on around me. But this week I knew that I just had to do something to help use up all the leftover […]
Mint Chocolate Chip Truffles
Easter is on it’s way, one and all. Now, as wonderful as it is to get to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, I also get excited about the promise of delicious sweet treats (hence the existence of this blog). So, being in the midst of a candy-making craze, I came up with these […]
