Whipped Cream Filling
A friend of mine made me cream puffs for my birthday this year which, coincidentally, has a lot to do with why I haven’t posted in a while. (Not because of the cream puffs necessarily, but from the general celebrating of many birthdays and going on vacation and mourning the loss of my youth and […]
French Macaron Day!
**UPDATE** You should also check out my pumpkin macarons! My friend Ashleigh and I have been talking about making French Macarons for a while, and this past Monday it was finally French Macaron Day! (*Note – not an actual holiday outside of her apartment.) Armed with a recipe from Martha Stewart, a custom French Macaron Pandora […]
Key Lime Pie
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope the stars align in your favor this year 🙂 Now, for business… While we were all in Florida, my uncle had a birthday. My aunt suggested we make him a key lime pie to celebrate. How could I argue? We took the filling and meringue recipes from the NY […]
a very important fondant update
Hello ladies and gentlemen (well, probably just my Mom, hi Mom!), this past weekend I covered my first ever cake in fondant! I’m taking the Wilton Course 3 class, and it’s pretty cool so far. The first week we just learned some more piping techniques, but this past weekend we made the “gift box” cake. […]

2010 Tax Season Cookie Rollout – Pinwheel Cookies
Thanks, Mom, for this headline. My father’s an accountant and for a few months every year he disappears into the seemingly infinite abyss of 1040s and W2s and whatnot. I decided I wanted to make him some cookies to help him cope, and when my mother told me he was already losing weight I knew […]
Black and White Cookies
It no doubt stems from the New Yorker in me, but I love Black and White cookies. They’re a perfect balance of chocolate and vanilla, like those half and half dixie cups we used to have on Sundays at camp. (You guys know what I’m talking about.) I always preferred the chocolate half myself, but […]
Made for Each Other
Some things are just meant to be paired up – peanut butter and chocolate, oil and vinegar, sneakers… You get my point. I’d made some cupcakes for my friends to nosh while we watched the Giants game a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t take pictures because they were pretty ugly in my opinion, and […]
