That Chocolate Cake
Someone on Instagram posted this cake recently and since my husband loves chocolate cake (especially ones with ganache icing), I knew I had to add it to my “to bake” list. I wasn’t able to find Scharffen Berger cocoa or unsweetened chocolate in our grocery stores so I had to purchase it online. The cake […]

Rocky Road Cake
Rocky Road ice cream is one of my favorites so when I saw this on Instagram I immediately added it to my baking list. I knew this would be a stretch because it involved a few things I’ve either never tried, or haven’t done very often. The actual baking of this cake was easy. Be […]

While many of the pastries I’ve made are more modern pastries, the Napoleon is a classic french pastry.

Soft Pretzels
I love a good soft pretzel, especially during the fall with some beer cheese or German mustard to help celebrate Oktoberfest! Last year we discovered an amazing sweet german mustard that goes great with soft pretzels as well so if you’re feeling adventerous you should look for that or find a recipe to make it […]

Kenji López-Alt does a great job of explaining why this recipe works with only 2 ingredients and there’s the option to add a little sugar to make a sweet shortcake-style biscuits. […]
