Having grown up in the Midwest, I have no memories of having red velvet cake. Since the southern classic is a must for all bakers, last week I hit it with my best shot. (The lyrics take over sometimes, sorry.) The moist cake is most popular for it’s bright rosy hue, and in my book,…
‘Tis the Season for Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
This month’s Flavor of the Month is celebrating autumn’s favorite vegetable: pumpkin. When I saw Bridget had posted this theme, I smiled as I came to the exciting realization that this was my perfect opportunity to try cooking with fresh pumpkin. Many thanks to Bridget for encouraging this, as I’m very pleased to tell you…
Fig Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake
For Father-in-Law’s birthday celebration, we took him out. “Out?” you say, “What’s so great about that?” Well, this was a huge event for us. You see, F-i-L has been pretty much bedridden for nearly two years and has not peered past his own fence but in an ambulance. Needless to say, we (and Brother-in-Law) were…
Tiramisu Cake
This weekend was full of birthday celebrations and C-A-K-E! We celebrated Grandpa-in-Law’s 76th, Dad-in-Law’s 47th, and through a long-distance call wished Dad’s a happy big 5-0! Let’s sing together now, 1-2-3 “Cumpleaños feliz, te deseamos a ti…” “Happy Birthday to you…” One of the great things I love about this month and the ones to…

As you savor the pillowy pleasure you cannot help but smirk knowing that your own hands lovingly fabricated this jewel of culinary perfection. Dreaming with me yet? Make…
Brownie Chip Muffin Bites
Rush to your pantry, now! Scan the root vegetables lying in the dark bins pleading to leave their shadowy resting places. Carrots? Squash? Zucchini? Any of those catch your eye? Great! Snatch up a large carrot, and a small squash or zucchini, and follow me into the kitchen to make the most rich, chocolatey brownies…
Figgy Layer Cake
Last weekend I baked up a lovely fig-filled cake for a friend’s birthday. This is the friend you may remember mentioned in previous posts, for whom I’ve been creating a file of vegan recipes to accomodate her stomach’s unhappy reception of dairy products. After reading through my list of cake flavors, she chose fig. I…

I found “THE ONE!”
“The One.” I finally found it! No, I’m not referring to my principe azul. Thankfully, I found him in 2007. This “One” is the best, tastiest, most versatile and perfect frosting recipe to ever meet my lips. Having taste tested oodles of frostings without intense flavor & texture satisfaction, I was beginning to think that…
