Brioche Bread Pudding with Lemon Curd and Raspberries
This recipe intrigued me since it’s very different from the usual bread pudding recipes. I was also pretty excited that I just happened to have lemon curd and raspberries/blackberries in the fridge and brioche in the freezer. If you don’t have brioche or croissants then this recipe gives a few other suggestions you can use.…

Chocolate Cheesecake
I know I’m in the middle of a cake series and this might be a little too outside the box, but the word cake is in the title so I think it counts. Plus it’s a nice little break from typical cake. Cheesecake is great, but it’s often finicky and the water bath can be…

Mini Strawberry Cheesecake
Sometimes making a whole cheesecake can be daunting. I wanted to make a strawberry cheesecake for a friend who was graduating, but honestly didn’t have the time to bake a full-size cheesecake since the one I made last year took what felt like forever to bake. I mean, it was delicious and looked beautiful but…

Speckled Malted Coconut Cake
The photo of this cake on Country Living’s website is just stunning and after running across this recipe I knew I was going to have to try it. I’m not a huge fan of coconut cake, much less malt, but it was just too pretty to not test out. Plus my coworkers are pretty awesome…

12 Days of Christmas Baking Day 10: Bûche de Noël
This recipe was actually on the schedule for earlier in this challenge but I knew this was a beast of a project and honestly after some of the bread recipes I needed a break so I just kept pushing it back. But here it is… the day has arrived. I started this process yesterday by…

12 Days of Christmas Baking Day 6: Sticky Toffee Pudding
This is one of those desserts I feel like I heard all the time on Great British Bake Off. I don’t actually remember seeing them make this dessert so maybe I’m just thinking of another pudding, but I was pretty excited to try my hand at a British pudding. Well… that is until I realized…
