When I was in Pastry School, we had a 6 week course dedicated to cakes, and I frosting and stacked cakes daily for years during my time in bakeries and cake shops. With this said, I’ve honed in on some skills and suggestions for how to do this yourself. It […]

Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
I mainly use this chocolate frosting to accompany my chocolate cake recipe, but it can also be used for vanilla cake or anything that you want! It’s a delicious frosting, with a bit of instant espresso to enhance the chocolate flavor!
Chocolate Cake
Chocolate cake has always been one of my favorites – but I’m very particular! I need the cake to be moist, without falling apart, and hate when cakes are too dry. Hate is strong, but as I said, I am particular! And the flavor has to be intense without being […]
Lemon Rosemary Scones
I recently bought some rosemary for a dinner recipe, but there’s usually too much for one recipe even in a small container. Later that day, I was talking to my sister about a lemon bread recipe I had recently made, and she said that she buys Lemon Rosemary Scones from […]
Carrot Cake Cookies
Carrot cake is one of my favorite flavors of cake, but I don’t always have the time (or the occasion) to make an entire cake. That’s where these cookies come in – they’re the texture and flavor of carrot cake, but much easier to make and just as delicious! They […]
Cinnamon Raisin Wheat Bread
This is a quick bread recipe that tastes like you spent all day on it! Most wheat bread needs time for multiple rises, but this can be made in a single bowl, without rise time, and baked in 30-35 minutes! In under an hour, you’ll have a delicious, homemade wheat […]
Traditional Pancakes
I grew up on Sunday Pancakes – and the occasional weekday ones as well – and it was always so much fun making them and enjoying them with my family! My dad used Aunt Jemima’s mix, but this recipe is just as traditional and made from scratch. They’re easy and […]
Double Chocolate Brownies
Brownies are something that most people like – unless you don’t like chocolate, and if you don’t, I’m not sure we can be friends. Chocolate is necessary, and always so delicious! My preference for brownies is for them to be gooey and moist – I don’t like crispy or hard […]
Lime Bars
Limes aren’t something I always gravitate towards when baking, but they’re such a fresh and tart option. Although these bars are mainly enjoyed for dessert, they are definitely something you can take out any time of day. Made with a delicious graham cracker crust and a fresh lime filling, you […]
Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies
Happy Wednesday! For those of you who don’t know what a whoopie pie is, it’s basically two pieces of cake in the form of a cookie, with frosting in between. It looks like an ice cream sandwich, but it’s cake and frosting. And it’s delicious! This past weekend was my […]
