I’ve been trying to wake up early and go to the gym. I’ve been trying to go to the gym AND walk Elliot. But sometimes my ipod’s battery is dead and sometimes it’s pouring rain. So, you know what? I’m going to eat a cheesecake bite. Maybe I’ll even have 2. All those gym intentions are making me hungry. Sometimes when it’s somebody’s birthday that you think is super cool and they love cheesecake you…
I can’t wait to meet more flavors of marshmallows. If they are all as nice as these, then I’m going to consider marrying into the family. Check it out: boiling sugar-ness and patient slipper feet. …and my open cupboard because I always leave them open. Perfect for tripping and exclamations. I’m going to be honest and say that these didn’t really take that long. They were surprisingly painless despite my months of putting them off.…
I brought this cake two and a half hours away to be the post-bbq dessert on Memorial Day. All of the mushrooms survived the trip. I thought that was nice of them. I’ve been wanting a reason to make meringue mushrooms ever since I knew they existed. This woodgrain cake gave me the motivation to finally do it! Would you care to have this piece? I’d totally share if Jake and I hadn’t finished the…
Sometimes it gets so hot that ice cream is required to live. Elliot’s the same way, but ice cream of the doggie variety. I’ve realized that what I require are granitas. I used half of a vanilla bean in the whipped cream. I figured whipped cream should have more freckles in the summer, since I do. What do you think of the color? I’m infatuated. I want to hug every raspberry I see based on the color…
Maybe someday I’ll live somewhere where my cactuses can live comfortably and not shiver on my windowsill. They are really mad it’s not summer. I’m kinda mad it’s not summer. Especially when I want to make a peachy fruity dessert of my dreams. Don’t worry though guys, it is really possible to have super delicious peaches despite the cold. While they may be cookies disguised as peaches, they are pretty and summery in a way…
Tonight we got pizza for dinner so we wouldn’t mess up the clean kitchen. Then I made these macarons and a made a giant mess anyways. I’d say these are totally messy kitchen worthy. AND one bite of these and you’ll consider being called “vanilla” a compliment. I’ve been gazing at pictures of macarons for months and months, and now I’ve finally attempted to make them! The majority turned out pretty! Although, there were a…
Sometimes cookies are all you need. Especially when you walk to your car in the parking structure only to find it with a flat tire. It’s at moments like that, that you call the handsome bearded man in your life for a ride home and promptly make mini black and white cookies. The combo of these little cakey delights and all that christmas spirit I know you’ve got, is just the thing to make you…
The best cake mix and store-bought frosting combination is obviously funfetti with pink frosting, right? That knowledge directly contributes to why Jake wanted his checkerboard birthday cake to have pink frosting…I promptly told him that it is supposed to have chocolate frosting, but well… I did pink accents. So there you go. This was my first time making it so I wanted to follow the rules. Maybe next year it will have all pink frosting,…
Last night when I got home from work I found that my internet and cable had left on a vacation! They didn’t even leave a note, but instead just took off like the free spirits they are. So I gathered up my Sex & the City dvds, one stick of butter and my dinosaur sprinkles to make these cupcakes for the holiday known as Friday. AND my mom gave me some pretty polka dotted cupcake…
So the end of July + August is just sprinkled with birthdays while these cookies are just sprinkled with sugar. My brother’s birthday was last week and I learned last year that cookies are his gift of choice. He’s the kind of guy who loves chocolate chip cookies, but is overly excited to meet the one chocolate chip cookie that’s chip-less! So this year I made him these giant sugar cookies because really, the cookie…
