Happy Halloween! Maybe some day I’ll post a holiday bake before the actual holiday, like all the professional baking bloggers. But I also don’t think of this as a baking blog so much as a baking diary. So I’ll be posting my Halloween themed bake on Halloween! Sue me! The making of this recipe had…
Old Fashioned (Cocktail) Cake
It was recently my brother’s GOLDEN birthday, which of course called for an even more exciting cake than usual. When asked what he wanted, he said something inspired by an Old Fashioned cocktail, so I went to work trying to pull something together. The result was: orange whiskey cake, whiskey bitters cherry preserves, and a…
Burnt Miso Pound Cake
You may have noticed that when I have a new ingredient I’m trying out, I am going to use it a lot. I’ve been making a lot of things with miso recently. Lots of them savory, but I got it to bake with. But these Miso Peanut Butter Cookies just didn’t turn out as well…
Basque Cheesecake
I don’t remember when I first started hearing about Basque cheesecake, but it was sometime in the past year. I believe a Basque cheesecake went viral at a bakery in New York City, and then everyone started making it. Including Bon Appetit, which in my mind confirmed it as a trend. And then, a few…
Corn, Blueberry, and Strawberry Sour Cream Ice Cream Cake

Almond Croissant Banana Bread
This Almond Croissant Banana Bread, much like these almond croissant cookies, was once again the product of me being easily influenced. As in… I saw someone post about it on the internet and decided to pull together a recipe. I went with a brown butter banana bread and used the same filling as the cookies,…
Popcorn and Chocolate Cake (Adapted from Milk Bar)
This Popcorn and Chocolate Cake is inspired by some of my favorite movie-watching experiences. Being the youngest child comes with many perks, but one of them is that you don’t have to deal with babysitters for very long, if at all. My older siblings were my babysitters whenever my parents went out, which was just…
Oma’s Milk Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the memories that stick with us, however large or small. And this Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake is a strong one. I haven’t had it in well over 10 years now, but eating it again conjured up everything I remembered about it. I realized (or was told) at a…
