12 Days of Christmas Baking Day 2: German Christmas Stollen
I’ll be honest, I’ve never even tasted stollen before much less made it. I knew this particular baked good would be a bit of a challenge as I haven’t had a lot of experience with bread making.

Deconstructed Apple Pie
I realize it’s march and apple pie is generally more of a fall dessert, but I had some apples I needed to use and wanted to make something easy, light, and refreshing. After a little research I ran across Jamie Geller’s recipe for Deconstructed Apple Pie and thought it’d be a fun dessert to try. […]

Mardi Gras King Cake
I had been craving king cake for weeks and being unable to find one in the grocery store I finally just decided to make one myself. I attempted a gluten free King Cake a few years ago and it did not go well (as many of my gluten free attempts turn out…). However, I decided […]
