• Has it really been four years!?

  

  Because it’s been a little over four years since starting this blog, I wanted to share with you my favorite posts. I should clarify that these are my favorites, not necessarily favorites in terms of post clicks, numbers, or even in being popular among people in my life. Because that’s what it’s all about! It’s all…

• little bernies (mint mini cupcakes)

  

  Do you like Bernie Sanders? Are you “Feeling the Bern??” These remind me of after dinner mints. I initially thought of making these full sized cupcakes, but then realized that mint by itself is a very strong flavor, and even if you are a fan of mint, it is quite a lot of mint flavor…

• brown butter birch cupcakes for my birthday!

  

  Mini cupcakes. With birch syrup and brown butter in the batter and buttercream. 30 mini cupcakes, to be exact. For my birthday. Which is today! Let’s just say I’m leaving the mid-forties range in six months. I don’t quite believe it yet. The primary reason I made these is that whenever I’ve made more traditional…

• Mocha Mini Cupcakes

  

  I made these yesterday for a coworker’s birthday. Because she’s such a fan of all things related to Wookies from the Star Wars movies, I called them Chew-mocha mini cupcakes. Get it? I almost decided to use a fork to make the tops look like wookie fur, but after doing a few of them that way,…

• Now bring us some non-figgy pudding-like chocolate cupcakes, now bring us some non-figgy pudding-like chocolate cupcakes…

  Is it wrong to make something look one way, but taste another way? I came across this recipe while searching online for figgy pudding. I don’t know exactly what figgy pudding is supposed to look like, but doesn’t this look like it could be a steamed pudding with figs in it? I thought so. I…

• Baking in Jars, part one: Vietnamese Coffee Cake

  

  I’ve had this idea of making a cake version of Vietnamese Coffee for awhile, since seeing this cake recipe for sweetened condensed milk cake. I was thinking, what better recipe to modify, since Vietnamese coffee is often served with condensed milk. Simply adding Vietnamese instant coffee might be all that is needed. When I saw…
