12 Days of Christmas Baking- Pastry Edition Day 11: King Cake
Before I begin talking about the recipe I feel like I should give a disclaimer. Apparently you’re not supposed to eat king cake before Epiphany (Jan 6) because it’ll bring you bad luck. I’m not superstitious so I figured a little earlier wouldn’t hurt…. I’ve made a king cake twice before. The first time I […]

Overnight Panettone
Last year during my 12 Days of Christmas Baking I made Panettone for the first time and it failed quite miserably. I was determined to try again and made sure I bought the large molds since using the smaller ones last year potentially made things a little more difficult. I’m honestly not sure what all […]

Sesame Seed Balls
Today is the Lunar New Year and we bid farewell to the Year of the Rat and usher in the Year of the Ox. Fried Sesame Balls, or Jian Dui, are a classic Chinese dessert that is traditionally served during the Lunar New Year so that’s what I’m trying today! Not only have I never […]

Hot Chocolate Macarons
I saw these adorable macarons on Pies & Taco’s Instagram a few weeks ago and have just been waiting for the chance to make them. I was already making a Hot Cocoa Cake (stay tuned for that post this weekend!) and thought making these too would be a fun edition. After a more successful venture […]
