November 25, 2011

Is this working? This is an update test.

You know how it starts, you’re in the mood for…something. You don’t know what, but you know it’s out there. It’s times like these that you wish you were in the kitchen of the Heart Of Gold. But alas, I’ve only a bunch of cookbooks. With a craving for ??? teasing the tip of my [...]

Pumpkin Ricotta Cheesecake aka The Red Rider BB gun

December 14, 2010

“You’ll shoot your eye out kid.” Yep, that’s essentially the feeling I got from one of the, what I consider to be, baking science goddesses out there who has literally written the bible(s) on baking, Rose Levy Beranbaum. I need to give a little background information before I describe in detail my own Thanksgiving (rather [...]

Getting back on the horse…with crumb cake!

November 19, 2009

Thought I was gone forever? For awhile I did too. Anybody still listening? I understand if you’ve moved on to sweeter pastures, but I took some needed time to reflect on whether or not I was doing the best thing I could be doing right now with this blog. To be honest, I’m not sure. [...]

Have you ever asked yourself the question, “Does cheesecake float?”…

May 15, 2009

Holy cow am I late on this one. This was actually supposed to be for the Daring Bakers challenge last month. Jenny Bakes supplied a simple enough cheesecake recipe to follow, but I just couldn’t do it. I can’t handle another cream cheese, brick-in-my-stomach-after-eating cheesecake experience. It’s good going down, but an unruly house guest [...]

May 7, 2009

Buongiorno! Megan of My Baking Adventures leads us to Italy, the land of Tiramisu with Dorie’s Tiramisu Cake. In an attempt to be faithful to the recipe, I’ve been all over town trying to find mascarpone cheese. My last ditch effort was at a natural food store on Tuesday, but no luck. I know some [...]

April 29, 2009

You know the song in Alice In Wonderland, “A very merry un-Birthday to you!” Well, a very merry un-Iron Cupcake challenge to you! At least I’m going to try since I obviously did not make the deadline…yet again…this month. I still managed to get a cupcake designed and baked though, and that’s what the challenge [...]

April 14, 2009

Our TWD selection this week is brought to you by Holly of Phe/MOM/enon. It’s the 15 Minute Magic: Chocolate Amaretti Torte! The “15 minute magic” part really only applies if you have a food processor. If you are food processor-less, and as temporally challenged as I am then this may take you quite a bit [...]

Lemon Poppy Seed Meringue Surprise Cupcakes!

April 2, 2009

At the beginning of March I had great plans and was really getting into a groove. One of those was a concoction for March’s Iron Cupcake theme of Nuts and Seeds. I came, I baked, but again did not conquer because I was unable to get my post up before the 24th. Oh well. When [...]

TWD ~ French Yogurt Cake

March 29, 2009

GOOD GRIEF! Hello all. I’m so sorry for the delay. The accursed state of my blog for the past month has been due to some mysterious issue that has yet remained a mystery despite being magically fixed with the latest version of code from DiyThemes. According to the Thesis theme creator, “your server is handling [...]
