Homemade Salted Caramels
I always wanted to be the type of person who had a stash of candy at the ready for anyone who strolls into my home, so ever since I discovered how easy it is to make candy, I’ve had a bottomless jar of salted caramels ready to greet anyone who walked through my door. IContinueContinue reading “Homemade Salted Caramels”
Salted Caramel Budino
Never did I think I would be such a fan of pudding, but here we are. I’ve never liked the goopy (yes, that’s the formal term) texture of pudding, nor did I like the artificially chocolate-y/vanilla-y flavored cups that would be offered at lunch in grade school. However, I had a bite of a saltedContinueContinue reading “Salted Caramel Budino”
Chocolate Chip Biscotti
A crunchy treat that satisfies your sweet tooth without being overbearingly sugary: biscotti. Latin for “twice baked,” these cookies are unbelievably easy, a crowd-pleaser, and can be stashed and ready to accompany a cup of coffee faster than it’ll take you to bake up store bought cookie dough. I like to keep a batch inContinueContinue reading “Chocolate Chip Biscotti”
Spice Layer Cake
The days are chillier, the treats are spicier, and the spooky season is right around the corner…which means fall baking is upon us! (Though I never need an excuse to use apples, cinnamon, and pumpkin year-round) I’m so excited because I was asked by Carusele to participate in the #BakingAtHome campaign, sponsored by Clabber Girl®ContinueContinue reading “Spice Layer Cake”

It’s simple. It’s delicious. It’s light. And it pairs well with just about any frosting, flavor pairing, or decor. Yes, I’m talking about a good ol’ chocolate cake.

Basic Doughnut Dough
Buttery, fluffy, soft, and delicious. My very favorite doughnut recipe that creates puffy and sweet doughnuts that become the perfect blank canvas to any creative fillings that catch your tastebuds. 1 cup warm whole milk1/4 cup + 2 TBSP granulated sugar (I like my dough on the sweet side so I use all of this,ContinueContinue reading “Basic Doughnut Dough”
Cream cheese filled Red Velvet cupcakes with Cookie Dough frosting
Yes, you read that right. And yes, it is a mouthful, both to say and to eat. I made these cupcakes after the thought of combining red velvet and cookie dough popped in mind while sitting in a math class – I remember studying for an exam and seeing a scribble about cupcakes on theContinueContinue reading “Cream cheese filled Red Velvet cupcakes with Cookie Dough frosting”
Cinnamon Rolls Three Ways
Is there anyone who doesn’t love a warm cinnamon roll? Right when it’s fresh from the oven and the cinnamon sugar and butter mixture is piping hot and extra fragrant…and the cream cheese frosting is *just* starting to melt into every little curve of the roll? For me, that’s a taste of happiness. And selfishly,ContinueContinue reading “Cinnamon Rolls Three Ways”
