Cakes

I made a pie. Can you tell? Did I bake this pie while dancing around the kitchen to Burn the Witch by Queens of the Stone Age? Why yes. How did you know? Did I bake a pie while sporting an adorable navy blue apron with little red tomato polka dots? Of course! Seriously, where...

I have a few pet peeves. Ok maybe more than a few, but I won't make you labour through reading all that, so here are just a few: Dried toothpaste in the sink. A sticky nightmare to clean off and you just know it's been in someone's mouth. The word flimsy. It sounds too much...

Don't you just love birthdays? Even someone else's birthday. Actually especially someone else's birthday. I know everyone says this and doesn't really mean it, but truly I love giving presents way more than receiving them. More than that, I love to make someone feel special. I love the thrill of planning little surprises to catch...

Have you ever had a craving for something you just couldn't ignore? A nagging, overwhelming insurmountable need for a specific thing that couldn't be sated any other way than to ravenously devour the thing in question. For me, recently at least, that thing was Jones Soda. If you've never had this particular brand of soda...

...I wonder how this pie is. To answer your question, pretty flipping awesome. Did you miss me? It won't happen again. I promise. I've been doing quite a bit of spring cleaning. Doesn't it feel satisfying to clean? No? Just me? You don't get a certain rush out of scrubbing something so shiny you can...

Some of you might recall I mentioned my aversion to bread. I'm not afraid of eating it. Not at all. Or inhaling it's sweet, freshly baked smell. It's the yeast part I'm actually nervous about. I've never used yeast. Not once. It's a little embarrassing really. Here I am out here on the interwebs claiming...

Turquoise matte nail polish. It makes my nails feel like they're made of satin. My vintage Fenton milk glass hobnail salt and pepper shakers. They make me want to collect all things milk glass and pretty and dainty. My beautiful freshwater pearl ring. That trio of pearls on my middle finger always makes me smile...

I'm a magician. Did you know? I make magic in the kitchen. I not only make delicious food, but I also transform your everyday snack into something extraordinary. Allow me to demonstrate. Watch closely. I'm good. I took this seemingly plain and obviously delicious chocolate cupcake recipe and transformed it into ice cream! A light...

I baked you a cake. A Blueberry Boy Bait Bundt Cake with Lemon Blueberry Glaze. Try to say that ten times fast. I love blueberries not just for their adorable smallness, their violet blue hue and explosion of sweetness. Blueberries also hold a special place in my heart right there next to jars of buttons,...

I have a habit. The bad kind. Early in the morning I browse through the magical land of food blogs before I've even eaten breakfast. I would not recommend this. It's like grocery shopping on an empty stomach. I have to make this. And that. Ooohh this looks good. I could eat a whole vat...
