Yesterday we took a "Hot or Not" vote on flag cakes (at the time we're writing this, it's pretty much a tie), and then we saw this smaller, round version. Just as festive, but not quite as kitschy. We...
Have you ever made one of these? We certainly have. These sheet cakes iced with white frosting and topped with strawberry (or raspberry) stripes and blueberry stars are all the rage on the 4th of July...
There are a lot of recipes for cobbler out there, and we've read and considered (and made) quite a few of them. But we keep coming back to a very basic family recipe that is almost no recipe at all. W...
We had several birthdays in the family last weekend, and we're left with quite a lot of birthday cake. Emma's post earlier today on breakfast reminded us of a secret pleasure: birthday cake for breakf...
We're contemplating a no-bake dessert this weekend, which is not difficult considering how much gorgeous fruit is available right now. Here are two recipes from Domino that take advantage of summer fr...
We've gushed about Jeni's Ice Creams a few (too many?) times here, but we can't stop talking about how good this ice cream is. We are very proud of this local treasure - all inspired by Ohio dairy and...
Time to talk about wedding cake and how, honestly, it's not that difficult to do it yourself - or at least keep it inside the family, if you have a good home baker to help you out. This is the next ...
Yesterday we realized that we had given you three whole recipes with lavender recently, and that this reflects our current inclination to throw lavender into dessert left and right. This craze for lav...
On Friday, we gave you a roundup of some fun, summer popsicle molds. So, over the weekend, we decided to practice what we preached... ...
We like to dream up dishes inspired by the actual dishes we own, or by little treasures we see online. Right now we're inspired by these Moka cups from French tableware company Ainsi de Suite, availab...
Delicious links - the pretty edition. Here are a few things we're admiring today....
Hey, look what we found (and couldn't resist buying)! Coconut jam! Only... we don't know what to do with it. ...
We haven't bought or used a popsicle mold in quite a while. It's one of those tools you have as a kid — or as a mom with kids — but not as an adult. And while we love our ice cream maker, we're no...
Fresh strawberries and blueberries, rhubarb, raspberry and lemon. It is high pie season! Summer pies are classics - have you baked one yet? We look forward to summer pies all year, and we're starting ...
Cupcake contests are quite popular these days, and this one actually took place a month ago, but we were just browsing the Brooklyn Kitchen blog and saw this recipe for Kate's Beer Geek Chocolate Cupc...
Ice cream season has officially begun, and we returned to one of our very favorite ice cream recipes last night. It's also one of the easiest. ...
A couple weeks ago we asked for your best fast desserts. It's spring, which means that we're starting to cook out of the garden and we're less inclined to spend long evenings in the kitchen. But we do...
We don't follow graffiti-art much, but when we see recipes in that space we pay attention. Take a look at this graffiti recipe from Helsinki... ...
Our lunch with Jacques Torres at the All Candy Expo in Chicago highlighted chocolate's savory side with dishes like a fruit and mixed green salad with a white chocolate-orange vinaigrette. Quite tasty...
We spent yesterday snacking our way through a sea of goodies at the All Candy Expo in Chicago. As if that weren't enough of a treat, we also had the chance to hear legendary pastry chef Jaques Torres ...
We were in a cookie-baking mood over the weekend, so we flipped through our cookbooks and our 3-ring binder collection of recipe printouts and magazine tear sheets. Finally we settled on a recipe we'...
As we talk about cooking without recipes and cooking by feel, one thing that tends to fall by the wayside is dessert. Cooking dinner without a recipe is simple; anyone can make a pot of pasta, toss wi...
We're excited about the little beets we're growing in our container garden; you can see the knobbly seeds here and the new fuschia seedlings here. Now here's one more thing we'd like to make with th...
We absolutely loved the recent article in the New York Times on the peculiar emotions and struggle of baking birthday cakes. Elly Schull Meeks talks about it as a milestone and rite of passage for a m...
Here's a question from longtime reader JenPDX: Hi there - I am more of a cook...I am not a baker. I've come across a cookie recipe that I want to make tonight. The recipe note says that: "The dough i...
