German Chocolate Cake

Happy New Year, bakers! After a pretty busy Fall and holiday season, I was excited to check the Baked Sunday Mornings schedule and get back into it. To my surprise, there are only 10 recipes left! I’m going to try my best to make each of them and bring this epic, 10 year journey to […]

Cinnamon Sugar Apple Cake

Ugly but Delish

Well, look, I definitely went overboard with my apple picking this year. I brought home a gigantic bag of Honeycrisps, but that’s not the problem, because I ate them all in no time. The true problem was the Northern Spys, which are a great apple for baking but are way too tart to eat out […]

This week I celebrated my first anniversary at my new job, but have been thinking for weeks about what kind of cake I would bring in to share with the team (because OBVIOUSLY there would be cake). Since I was a little bit burnt out on layer cakes after the Ultimate S’mores Cake, the one […]

Zucchini Bread

August 20, 2019 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

I have spent this entire month trying to convince myself that I like zucchini. I’ve always passed it off as just the worst vegetable because it’s slimy and doesn’t even taste like anything. The only way I’ve liked it in the past was in Smitten’s Zucchini Carpaccio, or maybe thrown in these noodles when I […]

Ultimate S

I may have had a bit of an influence on my niece when it came to her birthday cake selection this year. To be fair, we did talk about a few other options, including a Lemon Meringue Mega Cake, so that shows you right there I was trying to be unbiased (I hate citrus desserts!). […]

Banana Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

Last week I took my first true vacation since starting my (not-so) new job last Fall. I went to LA for a quick visit to see my friends Christine & Daryl (lots more on that soon!) and then was back home in time for a super fun charity event with my co-workers, Games 3 and […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Milk Chocolate Malt Ball Cake

Malt Ball Cake

Sometimes the Baked cakes seem like too much work when you don’t have a special occasion to bake them for, and this is when I like to bust out my set of 6″ cake pans. Many years ago I learned (from Smitten Kitchen) that any recipe for a three layer 8″ or 9″ cake can […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon Lemon Loaf

February 24, 2019 Baked Sunday Mornings

We had a big fundraising event at work last week, and the following day, an email went out about some leftover items for sale. I wasn’t really interested until I saw the last line: LEMONS AND LIMES FREE TO A GOOD HOME. I remembered this Lemon Lemon Loaf was on our agenda for today, and […]

Alicorn Cake

January 23, 2019 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

Does this cake look familiar? My niece’s request for her birthday cake this year was awfully similar to last year, with one exception: WINGS. Did you know a Unicorn with wings was called an Alicorn? I sure didn’t, and when I asked “Isn’t that a Pegasus?” I was swiftly corrected: “No Auntie Robyn, a Pegasus […]

When it comes to my birthday cake, there are four main food groups I’m interested in: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cookies & Cream Funfetti, also known as RAINBOW BIT I recently made my niece a Chocolate Peanut Butter Mega Cake, so I wasn’t feeling that this year. Plus I made this […]
