I’d been promising my teammate at work that I’d make him a cake for his birthday, and since someone else’s birthday had passed the week prior, I thought I had better make two cakes. (Also because these people I work with can really devour some food.) I super love baking for my office because they [...]
You’re in for a treat. For one night only, I’m blogging the SAME day I baked. I literally just ate this cake. Let’s take a second to applaud my diligence to blog about it instead of eating more cake and collapsing on my bed. You’re looking at a professional, folks. This cake was made in [...]
I love green tea. I drink it every day at work. I don’t even use a tea infuser – I just eat the leaves. Nom. Sort of. I thought baking with matcha (green tea) powder would be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, instead of having to frost some cookies with green or make an Irish [...]
I wanted to make some cookies for a coworker who was leaving, but then my mom hijacked everything and played the birthday card (I made these the day before her birthday). She even knew I was making her a cake, but she thanked me for the cookies before I could say anything. Gee whiz. It’s [...]
It has been…over 3 months since my last post. Hence my saddestface. I’m going to blame it on holidays, traveling, sickness, lack of baking, but above all, laziness. Things will turn around! My goal is to blog every week, er, at least every two weeks. It’s been a challenge to find time between teaching ESOL, [...]
‘Twas time for another potluck at work – this time combined between 2 floors of the office, making it an even more spectacular potluck than the last one. Meaning that there were enough leftovers to feed many of us the next day too. Free food has got to be pretty high up there on the [...]
My office had a potluck to celebrate me completing my first month of work there! We just called it a Halloween party for secret reasons. I rushed to sign up to bring in a dessert because Batman save me if I had to cook. Actual food. To serve. To people. Whom I have to see [...]
Greg and I saw this sandwich and promptly fell in love. We trekked to the grocery store to pick out our ingredients. And that means we stood in front of the meat section for an hour. But we finally settled on something we thought would work well in a sandwich – thin cut, boneless, reasonably-priced [...]
I’ve never gotten super excited over key lime pie, or pie in general, though I do love pie crust. (Shout-out to Team Cake!) So I thought key lime cookies might be more my style, and they seemed like a perfect idea for a summer pool double birthday party/luau thing I was going to. And powdered [...]
Lest you loyal readers think I am a flawless baking genius who knows not what baking failure is, rest assured that your thinking is correct. However, occasionally I mess up. This particular time, my sleep-deprived brain was no friend of mine. Medium-length story short, after I filled the muffin tin halfway with batter and put [...]
