Gluten-Free Boston Cream Pie
Boston Cream Pie is one of my friend’s favorite desserts, but she can’t have gluten so I decided to try and find a recipe that was gluten-free. Thanks to the internet there are always quite a few recipes to choose from and I looked over a few, but most only used almond flour. I’ve found…

12 Days of Christmas Baking Day 10: Bûche de Noël
This recipe was actually on the schedule for earlier in this challenge but I knew this was a beast of a project and honestly after some of the bread recipes I needed a break so I just kept pushing it back. But here it is… the day has arrived. I started this process yesterday by…

12 Days of Christmas Baking Day 9: Vínarterta
Vínarterta is known as the Icelandic Celebration Cake and is often made during the Christmas season. Despite using prunes, this recipe looks pretty and seemed fairly easy so I decided to give it a try. I halved the recipe since I didn’t have enough prunes and so we didn’t have so much baked goods in…

Bibingka is a type of baked rice cake the Philippines that’s usually eaten…

Black Forest Cupcakes
My husband and I enjoy hosting dinners and parties and we’ll often create some kind of these to help tie things together. We wanted to host a sort of Octoberfest celebration with a few friends so I started the search for a German themed dessert. Apple strudel would have been the obvious choice, but I…

Flourless Chocolate Cake
I find trying to bake gluten free items to be tough since the consistency can be different. I’m sure it’ll get better with practice, but an easy way to do gluten free is just find items that don’t actually use flour! Plus, this cake is very rich so while it doesn’t look like a lot,…

Last year each department at work hosted a lunch for all employees so our department chose mexican food. Wanting a few desserts that were good for a crowd I ran across this recipe and it’s now one of my go-to’s for something quick and delicious. I mean, it’s the Pioneer Woman so can you go…
