Easter Wreath Bread
I made this Easter Bread a few years ago and while we’re still a ways off from Easter, I thought this might be a fun bake. One of the first things you’ll do for this recipe is make the starter and let it sit at room temperature overnight. The next day you’ll mix together the…

Dacquoise (Hazelnut-Mocha)
Ok, let me start by saying that I’m cheating a bit because this recipe had Hazelnut-Mocha first, but I really wanted to try it. Also, I tried to find a link to this recipe online but had no luck. It also looks like the issue is out of stock since it is an older issue…

Chocolate Turtle Cake
I’m a big fan of chocolate turtles (Where. Are. The. Turtles???) so this recipe obviously appealed to me. It’s a little time consuming just because there are a few parts, but nothing too difficult. You’re going to start off by making the chocolate layer cakes. This is a very standard cake recipe so easy to…

Bacon, Cheese and Pomegranate Pastry Wreath
We LOVE Nueske’s bacon and I ran across this recipe in an email they sent around the holidays. While you can order their bacon from their website, you can also find them in Fresh Market as well. This is a really simple recipe, but it does take a little time since you need to cook…

Apple Fritter Cake
I had so much fun doing my Baking Through the Alphabet series back in 2022 that I decided to do it again! I love an apple fritter so I thought this Apple Fritter Cake was a great way to kick things off! Honestly, I think the peeling and dicing of apples took the longest amount…

Chocolate Peppermint Madelines
I decided it was time to break out the madeline pan again and this recipe looked fun and festive. This was a pretty easy recipe you basically whisk all of the dry ingredients together (ideally after sifting). Then you whip the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and peppermint together for about 8 minutes. You’ll fold in the…

Zabaglione
I thought finding something for X and Z would be difficult. While X was a little challenging there were quite a few baked goods that start with Z on my original potential recipe list. Time constraints ended up deciding to try this recipe. This is really going to be a quick post because the recipe…

Yellow Cake (& chocolate frosting)
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this is the best yellow cake I’ve ever had. While I usually feel like homemade is always better, there’s just something about a box cake mix that yields an amazing crumb (& taste!). This recipe gives a box cake a run for it’s…

Walnut Baklava
I’ve never made baklava before and have heard it can be complicated so I was a little nervous about trying this recipe. While phyllo dough can be difficult to work with, this actually wasn’t as difficult as I thought! Let me start off by saying that I did not make my own phyllo dough; I’m…
