There’s nothing quite as gratifying as a cake that comes out exactly as planned…and even better. The tangy lemon layers of this cake came out precisely as desired. The raspberry cream moussey filling..Check. Fluffy as a cloud not-overwhelmingly-sweet whipped cream frosting. A+++ I’d make this cake again. And again. And again. Pretty. Tasty. Pretty Princess…
Heaven on Ice and Some Real Flutzes and Waxels
No, Ice Capades doesn´t have a new lineup (although my mom and grandma would likely be 1st in line!) Heaven on ice, in this reference, means Straight. Up. Ice Cream. My friend Lindsay once shared with me that she imagined heaven to be a glorious place where one could lounge upon and nibble at giant…
Raspberry Crumb Cake
Although raspberries may be out of season in the north, that is no cause for denying yourself the privilege of scarfing down this sweet, streusel-topped buttery cake speckled with summer’s juiciest berries. Head to the freezer section, grab a bag of your favorite frozen berries, and have at it. This recipe, an Ina Garten adaptation,…
Very Berry Cake
What is flowered on the outside, floured on the inside, and sandwiched with raspberry jam? Good job! You’re right, it’s very berry cake. In a pinch for a last-minute birthday celebration tomorrow, I rummaged through the pantry and found the bare bones for a berry cake of sorts: a half package of grape gelatin, half…
Chocolate Fig Pie- an adaptable charmer
If there was one pie in my recipe stash that could woo the toughest of critics, this might just be it. In fact, it is so versatile and delicious that I could toss all other pie recipes (except Husband’s beloved lemon pie). Look no further, folks, this is it, chocolate pie that trumps all others….
The beauty queen that wasn’t
Have you ever seen a celebrity without makeup? Sometimes, you’d never even recognize them if they passed by on the street. It’s magically transforming, the job that professional makeup artists can do, and most mornings I wish I could win a consultation to absorb a little of that genius. On the other hand, how many…
The one that got away
Luckily for me, the one that got away was not the love of my life (he just left for work, actually). In fact, my peach yogurt cake slipped out the door this morning along with Husband without making it first to the photo shoot. For the visually centered, imagine a pineapple upside-down cake. Remove pineapple,…
Bring in the New Year Bundt
I’m very happy to announce that Husband and I are finally home after our long holiday trip. As predicted, the mothers, kitchen queens that they are. fed us well, from coconut flan to steaks to my favorite split pea soup and enough sugary treats to last the year long. Arriving home last evening to a…
One Cookie, Two Cookies
Holidays are fantastic. Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, and I love getting into the holiday spirit with traditional and jazzy tunes, festive towels (one of my only Christmas decorations to date), adorable fuzzy snowman socks, and of course, the quintessential Christmas cookie! While I’d check most of these items off the list…
Better than Fruitcake Cookies
What’s the most universally dreaded item gifted on a holiday sweets platter? The fruitcake, of course! Now, I’m not one for fruitcake but last night Food Network ran a holiday special with a woman determined to convince us that fruitcake can be tasty. After watching her cream butter and mix in REAL dried fruits (cherries,…
