Honey Almond Butter Tart with Chocolate Ganache. July 20, 2014. It’s annual pie party time! Every year one of my friends here in Milwaukee holds a pie party. You bring a pie and everyone votes for their favorite. This year, in a new twist, there was both a savory AND a sweet category. Contests like this remind me that there are times in my life when I get competitive. It’s rare. After all, I purposefully work in a field that is about as un-competitive as you can get (art education! Just press it in)....

Mint Basil Whoopie Pies. August 1, 2011. Is it OK to post my baking flops on this blog? It is, right? Keeps things real… shows you my experiments… As long as I’m clear I don’t really recommend baking these quite yet (unless you want to play with the recipe–then by all means, go at it and share your results! But without something tart or strong to counteract the basil, it’s not as exciting a flavor. The next flop is that these guys didn’t poof up! I based my experimental recipe on. Still They aren’t...

Maple Cupcakes with Cinnamon Frosting. November 2, 2014. Sometimes, you just have to make cupcakes, even if you have no good reason to. It might begin with one of your friends sending you a recipe for an “ autumnal birthday cake. I tried for a few weeks to come up with an excuse to bake this cake, then finally threw caution to the wind, bought a ridiculous amount of maple syrup (1 1/2 cups, for the record, is a RIDICULOUS amount of maple syrup), and went for it. So cupcakes it was! It all comes full circ...

January 16, 2011. May 1, 2011. Gold and butter. Botticelli and madeleines. Perhaps unusual combinations at first… but they go together beautifully. These small but decadent, lemony little French cakes, gilded like Venus’ shell in. The Birth of Venus. Are just as sumptuous (albeit in a smaller dose) as the Renaissance masterpiece itself. This little project would probably be too cutesy… if they weren’t gold. Gold is never cutesy. Only awesome. Melt your butter and brush it on, then flour!

Snappy Gingerbread Cookies – Chelsea Bakes
http://baking.we-wish.net/2014/12/snappy-gingerbread-cookies
December 7, 2014. I decided to bake Christmas cookies rather than Netflix away the day! If you’re curious, though, I’m currently watching Gilmore Girls for the umpteenth time and Black Mirror. Two shows which, truly, could not be more different). Honestly, though, they were just an excuse to dance around my apartment all day while singing along to the Michael Buble holiday album over and over and over. And over. To see all my baking adventures in Pittsburgh! Adapted from New Best Recipe. 1/2 tsp ground a...

Toffee Pecan Coffee Cake. September 28, 2014. I’ve had Britain on the mind lately. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ll know this is not an unusual occurrence. I’m a big fan of all things British: Scones. Harry Potter. Sherlock. Downton Abbey (see above) and other, real English country estates. Free art museums with glorious collections. And of course, the accent. (Does anyone else sometimes get the strong urge to just start speaking in a British accent to random people? 8230; Just me?

July 26, 2011. One of my best friends from college and his wonderful significant other visited me this past weekend, and we made a feast. A summer feast. All things meant to be eaten cold, which worked well in 90-degree heat. Orechiette with beef and arugula tossed in fresh balsamic vinaigrette (thanks Giada. Salada chilena, and berries and fresh vanilla bean whipped cream. I am generally fearful of things that require yeast (yes, even pretzel buns. February 2, 2011. June 26, 2011. But the real miracle w...
