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, […]

Apple Hand Pies With Brown Sugar & Butter Glaze

It’s fall, which is my favorite baking season. Nothing is better than spending part of the weekend baking and watching football on TV. This past weekend we went up to the mountains and visited several apple orchards so this is probably the first of a few apple specific recipes. I love apple pie, but prefer […]

Gluten-Free Apple Cider Donuts

Look how adorable these donuts are!! This recipe is super easy and tastes really good; plus it’s gluten-free, which is a bonus. These donuts smell like fall and I’m beyond excited that it’s now officially fall so these fun baked goods are helping usher in a 3-day weekend for me in the mountains. My track […]

Molasses Cookies

It’s starting to get a little cooler outside so to help usher in fall I decided to make some molasses cookies. The recipe I use is one my mom always used so I have no idea where it came from. Ironically, when I pulled out the recipe my mom wrote down for me I found […]

Tres Leches Cake

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 […]

Hostess Cupcake

Okay… I’m cheating a little on this recipe. The cake is a Devil’s Food cake mix and then the icing is chocolate fudge from the plastic containers on the baking aisle. All you really make from scratch is the middle layer, which is a carton of whipped topping, 1 block of cream cheese, and a […]

Churro Cake

I’ve got good news and bad news for this recipe. First, the good news. This cake is amazing! The bad news? It’s not for the faint of heart and is very time consuming (but it’s so worth it!). My cousin made this cake for my birthday one year, which is how I even found out […]

Cookie Cake

Last weekend my nieces and nephews were in town so it seemed like a good time to experiment with something fun. What’s more fun than a cookie cake?? I made a cookie cake several years ago and it turned out okay, but I decided to try another recipe this time to see if I could […]

Foolproof New York Cheesecake with Cherry Coulis

Wanting to bake something that used cherries I decided to poll the office to see what they’d enjoy. After much discussion everyone decided on New York Cheesecake with Cherry Coulis. Upon consulting my husband (who is also a good cook and baker) we decided to use America’s Test Kitchen’s recipe. We love their recipes and […]

French Macarons

Note: check out the updated post on macarons here! I’ve been baking a lot of cakes and cupcakes lately and decided it was time to try something different. Wanting a bit of a challenge I decided it was time to finally try french macarons. King Arthur’s recipe seemed pretty straight-forward and the last several recipes […]
