The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake

I love cake and while a layer cake is my personal favorite a nice sheet cake is a close second. Start by melting together chocolate, butter, and oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. You always want to be careful when melting chocolate to ensure it doesn’t get too hot and seize.…

Iced Coffee Icebox Cake

I’ve only had a few complete fails over the years and this was definitely one of them. This looked like a fun recipe and besides taking a full 24 hours to set up, it also looked pretty easy. You start off by making the cookies and that’s pretty simple. Mix together all of your dry…

12 Days of Christmas Baking- Pastry Edition Day 4: New Orleans Style Beignets

Honestly, is there anything better than a warm beignet from Cafe du Monde in New Orleans with a hot cup of chicory coffee?? We don’t get there very often, but when we do it’s a required stop. If you’re not able to visit New Orleans though making these yourself isn’t half bad. My husband and…

Biscotti reminds me a lot of…
