  • birthday biscotti

    birthday biscotti

    This is a recipe for biscotti that is adaptable for other add ins. I simply wanted to celebrate my **th birthday, so I thought adding 1/4 cup of sprinkles would do the trick. I also added slightly less sugar because I felt the sprinkles might actually contribute to the sweetness. Funfetti Biscotti. Enjoy! Happy Birthday…

    guava cream cheese almond cookies

    Greetings! I decided to see what happens if I were to treat guava paste like almond paste, and substitute it in a recipe that calls for almond paste. I used this recipe from King Arthur flour as a guide. They turned out great! They were sweet and chewy and only slightly pink, not bright pink…

  • clementine almond cake

    clementine almond cake

    “Oh my darling, oh my darlingOh my darling, ClementineYou were lost and gone foreverDreadful sorrow, Clementine.” The benefit of using clementines instead of oranges is that they seem to have less membrane or pithy parts and are fairly juicy and full of orange flavor. Also they are easier to peel. Make sure you zest them…

    colomba di pasqua 

    Happy Easter! I wanted to create something festive and in keeping with the season.

I did have some Marcona almonds, which I strongly…

    amaretto chocolate bundt cake

    Greetings! I hope you are doing fine. Such a surreal time we live in, huh? It’s hard to be enthused about cake, or even food in general when there is so much pain and suffering and anguish in the world. But here I am with another cake! If you need to snap out of it,…

  • extreme almond scones

    extreme almond scones

    This recipe was simply born out of the realization that while I usually have these almond ingredients on hand, I tend not to put them all together in one recipe.  And I thought, why not? The result is a very scrumptious almond scone that is just slightly sweet from the almond paste and the granulated…

  • fauxstock

    fauxstock

    For those of you that are already familiar with bostock, I need to ‘fess up that these may look like the real thing, but they are actually sort of a fake bostock. Hence the name. The bread part is an enriched sweet dough, similar to cinnamon roll dough, but it’s not brioche. Everything else follows the recipe…

  • Benedictine Pear Loaf Cake

    Benedictine Pear Loaf Cake

    If ever there was a recurrent theme for me here, it would be a quick bread made in a loaf pan. That’s just how I roll, I guess. Maybe I should change the name to Dave’s Quick Bread Recipes? Hmmm. This came about actually while initially searching online for an apple cake recipe, and finding…
