• wild blackberry croissant bread pudding

  

  Okay, I’ll be honest. This recipe could be made simpler by using all store bought ingredients, but where’s the fun in that? Part of the fun, I think, is tasting the literal fruits of your labor! And I know it may not be always possible to forage for berries in the wild, but if you […]

• blackberry chocolate brownie cake

  

  When I was about five, I remember telling people I either wanted to be a policeman or a baker or a painter. Not necessarily in that order.

• summer pear blackberry crumb cake

  

  I panicked for a split second when I pulled it out of the oven, because I used a darker brown sugar than I usually use, and the whole cake looked like it was topped with ground beef! Luckily, that was just my imagination. It was fine. Cutting it was fine, although in retrospect, letting it […]

• coffee and blackberry cake tart

  

  Summer is still among us in Washington State. And I thought I was done with making cakes containing sour cream and berries. But I guess I still had some sour cream in my fridge. Is it weird to have sour cream as a staple? I never thought we consume a lot of sour cream and […]

• mixed berry sour cream cake

  

  There are some recipes that look fairly ordinary and unassuming on the surface, but, upon closer inspection, and sometimes only after making it oneself, does one discover its true beauty. Its specialness. Every cake is special. (To be sung to the tune of “Every Sperm is Sacred” No! j/k, Haha!) There are a couple of things I really […]
