Simple Vanilla Buttercream

Buttercream frosting has to be one of my favorite things in the world – I could happily eat it with a spoon, and sometimes I do! But there’s a lot more to buttercream than people think. There’s a lot of different types you can make – but this is the […]

Fluffy White Cake

White cake is something that I think can be extremely underrated. People think of it for weddings or some other formal events, but they don’t usually think of it for birthdays, or just every day use. It is usually thought of to be dry – but it doesn’t have to […]

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Oatmeal Raisin cookies are honestly one of my favorites. They taste like home, warmth, spices, and comfort. I think a lot of people don’t usually think about these as a first choice for a cookie – but before you stop reading, you need to consider trying these! I know there […]

Chocolate Doughnuts

Chocolate + doughnuts = HEAVEN! Am I right? These are also BAKED not fried, so they’re healthier and cleaner to make. And safer – no boiling oil! I use my favorite non-stick doughnut pans from Wilton – sold on Amazon. This is just my recommendation, and I highly recommend getting […]

Step by Step: How to Stack and Frost a Layered Cake

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
