Happy 2013, everyone! Hope everyone had a lot of fun and made lots of mistakes last night! I decorated this cake during another class I took at the Gourmandise School of Sweets and Savories, which is where I took my Intro to Macarons and French …
Merry Christmas, everyone! As of yesterday, I am proud to say that I have completed the Holiday Bake-A-Thon 2012 (*inserts shameless plugs from 2011, 2010, and 2009 here*). I may churn out a couple more things before the year is over, but will do so …

I’m absurdly late on this post, but better late than never! Opportunities for writing have been few and far between thanks to tourney season, the NBA playoffs (go OKC!), and work bleeding into my free time. I wanted to make a little treat for St. Patty’s …

Happy New Year! Writing is so unbelievably cathartic. I know none but a very select few actually read through these posts, but I’m going to pull out my “Collect $200 and Pass GO” card and maximize the medium I have going here. It’s not you, …
In my previous post on Apple Pie Cookies, I received a lot of flack (particularly from Daniel) for not posting a photo cross-section of the cookie. I’ve made these upon request three more times within the last three weeks, so I thought this would be …
Who loves them some Christmas?! Unlike the retail stores who throw up their decorations after Halloween (really?), I usually don’t start feeling festive til a little closer to said holiday. I got the idea for these Grinchmas Cookies from a post I saw on Pinterest, …
