Eclairs
I made eclairs a few years ago and they didn’t quite turn out. We had some friends over who wanted to learn how to make them so he and my husband had a little tutorial. While I didn’t actually make the eclairs pictured I “oversaw” the whole process to ensure quality control (😉) and making…

Jerusalem Bagels
I have never made bagels before and this recipe looked like a good way to ease into them. I had never heard of Jerusalem Bagels before, but I’m also no bagel connoisseur. Apparently they’re apparently lighter, airier, and more bread-like than an actual bagel. You’ll start off by heating your milk and water to 90-95F.…

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…

Herb & Cheddar Scones
Happy National Scone Day! Here’s another savory scone for you to try and if you’ll notice I’m back to cheddar. 🙂 I’m going to start by saying that I shifted gears at the last minute as to which recipe to use, so I did not have chives or fresh thyme. I’ll go ahead and note…

Gruyere & Black Pepper Scones
I loved the Bacon Cheddar Chive Scones I made a few years ago and this felt like the more mature big brother to those, so I thought it would be fun to give these a try. It’s pretty easy to make, though you do need to toast your walnuts beforehand. You throw all of the…

Ultra-Vanilla Cupcakes with Easy Vanilla Frosting
It’s been a while since I made cupcakes and I wanted to make some to celebrate a co-workers birthday, so I decided to try these vanilla cupcakes. So, this recipe is quite different than most that I’ve tried in that your batter is more chunky than smooth. Full disclosure: this freaked me out a little…

Flaky Biscuits
National Biscuit Day isn’t for another month (May 29, 24), but we made these recently so I figured I’d go ahead and post about it. We’ve been in a big biscuit kick, especially on Saturdays when we have more time in the morning. Normally, we make these Cream Biscuits since they’re quick and easy, but…

Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls
Happy Leap Day! Finishing off this month of Red Velvet bakes with these cinnamon rolls that look so pretty! There are quite a few recipes for Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls online, but I chose this one because I wanted to make the dough the night before and let it do the second proof overnight. Honestly,…

Red Velvet Donuts
Red Velvet donuts? Yes, please! These donuts were fun to make and if you’ll notice in the other photo they have Christmas sprinkles. That’s because I made these around Christmas and did some with Christmas sprinkles and some with just red sprinkles since I’m posting this in February. Most baked donuts are pretty easy to…

Red Velvet Brownies
It’s been a long time since I made cheesecake brownies and when I saw these Red Velvet ones I thought they’d be perfect for this month. This recipe is a little different than most brownie recipes I’ve done in that you mix the melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, food coloring and salt together first.…
