Cinnamon Espresso St. Patrick’s Day Cupcakes

Thursday, March 14, 2013

Does anybody else feel like March is the boringest month ever? I mean, unless your birthday is in March. Then, you probably like it. Okay, yes, hubs and I just celebrated our anniversary, and St. pat’s is this Sunday, so that’s fun, but that’s all I’ve got. Seriously, March, you are boring. I’m stuck in ...

Friday, December 21, 2012

Uh…so it’s December 21st. And the world continues to turn. How many people are feeling sheepish today? I’m not, personally. I mean, really? Aztecs (or Mayans…oops) predict the Apocalypse? No. But seriously, I would love to be a fly on the wall in a house with one of those dooms day prepper people. You know ...

Where in the World is Bakingdom? Chocolate Marionberry Cream Roulade

Monday, February 27, 2012

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for our favorite new game! “Where in the World is Bakingdom?” Actually, “Where in the World” is pretty inaccurate, I guess, since it’s actually “Where in the U.S.,” but it doesn’t have the same ring to it, does it? Nope. Not really…I’m sticking with “world.” So. That picture up there? ...

Malted Milk Chocolate Pots de Crème with Malted Dark Chocolate Ganache

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

Words should come with little thought bubbles that have their pronunciations written in them. You know, so when you’re about to say something, and you’re not sure how to pronounce it, the little thought bubble floats up and shows you how to say it. And if you’re still unsure, you can ask for an audio ...

Perfectly Pinterested Perfect Thanksgiving Dinner: Caramel Filled Brownies and Beautiful, Easy Mums

Sunday, November 20, 2011

I’m posting on a Sunday. This is totally weird. It’s like I’m in the Twilight Zone or something, except in color, and with baked goods instead of, like, scary aliens or murderous dollies. Several weeks ago, as I was perusing Pinterest for nothing in particular, I came across this gorgeous photograph of mums laid out ...

Okay. So. I’m off island. I’m staying with family again. I’m in the Great White North (that’s actually still green and lovely). But the hubster and our boy are still on island. And they had a big storm this past weekend. Her name was Irene, and she was way more of a bitch than any ...

Happy Valentine Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cake

Monday, February 14, 2011

In all honesty, we’re not big Valentine’s Day celebrators in our house. We’re a pretty close family, so Valentine’s Day is more of a chance to eat special sweets and get crafty than it is anything else. We never spend money for Valentine’s Day…only handmade cards allowed. It’s been a tradition for several years now, ...

Chocolate and Sugar and Espresso…Oh My!

Wednesday, August 25, 2010

My favorite cookies are chocolate crinkles. I love, love, love them! So much! They’re soft and fudgy in the middle with a thin, crisp, sugary crust on the outside. They are, to me, the closest thing to a brownie, in cookie form, that you can achieve. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, ...
