Got some apples at a local orchard and did my best making the dough from scratch. she ain’t perfect but she’s pretty! I had to use the leftover dough to make a lil mini one too lol I used my espresso cup to bake it 😂

for a halloween party at work 🎃

Well.

They're definitely giving pagoda, and that tiered aesthetic I guess doesn't lend itself to suitably capturing candy corn essence. In hindsight, I probably should have piped closer along the edges.

French method macarons with ratios from Sugar Spun Run

White shells were piped on 1.25 inch circles, orange on 1.5 (my standard) and yellow on 1.75.

Filled with dyed Ermine Frosting and whipped white chocolate ganache (3:1 ratio, chocolate to heavy cream), then topped with a vanilla candy melt.

Two years ago I shared a cinnamon roll fail that I had using regular flour and gluten free flour. Today I mustered up the courage to try them again and literally they’re so effing good

I finally succeeded in making this using https://chawjcreations.com/pandan-honeycomb-cake/#recipe

I need to make the color darker but other than that, it was perfect 😁

Pumpkin honey cheesecake with a cinnamon toast crunch and granola crust finished off with a Jack Daniels whiskey salted caramel pecan sauce.

GUYS, HEAR ME OUR 😭

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the thought of making classic cinnamon rolls because of how much time and effort they take, you NEED to try cinnamon focaccia.

I freaking LOVE cinnamon rolls, but my usual recipe takes forever and they always turn out pretty heavy because of how rich the dough and filling is.

So I thought, why not combine them with my second favorite thing FOCACCIA 😵‍💫

I've been wanting to try this for SO long and last night I finally made the dough, baked it this morning, and OMG, it genuinely made my day.

I promise it tastes a million times better than it looks. 😮‍💨💕

I have seriously been struggling with the quality of chocolate that is out there. I have also noticed the percentage of saturated fat has gone down in many butter brands, and I think more water is added.

Biggest one this week was that my classic kitchenaid of 10 years (it churned out hundreds of weddings with no issues) finally broke, so I went to buy a new kitchenaid that was even the same exact color and model, and the speed lever broke in like 3 days! I read they are making them differently now.

Also noticed the quality of wilton fondant has seriously declined. It doesn't firm up at all, and is a weird off white color.

Ugh part of baking is having the comfort of relying on certain brands and products, and this is stressing me out lately! Not to mention the prices skyrocketing with amount of product being reduced.

Some pretty rolls that just came out of the oven. I normally drizzle heavy cream on top just before baking but I didnt have any so I used chobani white chocolate mocha coffee creamer. Not as moist as with regular cream but still very good.

The first picture shows the stock photo, followed by my cookies just before they go into the oven and then straight out of the oven. So, I decided to try making these cool Frankenstein cookies, and guess what? I ended up making some adorable green monster cookies that are amazingly delicious! I used a chocolate chip cookie recipe, which I’ll add below. I only added back-to-nature classic cream cookies and green food dye. I say, even though the cookies didn’t end up looking like the example, they taste amazing and are too adorable to even be upset.

Ingredients:

2½ cups all-purpose flour (300g)

¾ teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter softened (227g)

¾ cup light brown sugar (165g)

½ cup granulated sugar (100g)

1 large egg

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips (or chocolate chunks) (270g)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl with a handheld mixer, combine the butter and sugars. Beat on medium-low speed until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Add the egg and vanilla. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl.

With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture. Beat just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Using a 1½-tablespoon scoop, scoop the dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheets. Press more chocolate chips on top. (If desired, chill the dough balls for 1 hour, or cover and chill for up to 72 hours.)

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. (If you’ve chilled your cookies, bake for 13 to 15 minutes.) For best results, bake one sheet at a time. Immediately sprinkle cookies with flaked salt, if desired.

Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Finish cooling on a wire rack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Found the recipe on insta, its bretty good c: also first time I used the waterbath method. Usually Id just chuck it in the oven like that

Got these King Arthur Baking molds last Christmas and it was fun to finally try them out!

😁

I'm overjoyed that I have a picture of that first cake from almost exactly two years ago!! I had my suspicions when she asked me... and they were confirmed when his title was upgraded to boyfriend shortly after lol.

The couple wanted a cinnamon roll-themed wedding cake, so I pieced together elements from a few different recipes to make that happen. It's a vanilla cake studded with chunks of cinnamon roll filling (the darker patches), a gooey cinnamon roll filling center (heated over the stove to dissolve the sugar, then thinned out with a splash of milk), and cream cheese frosting.

For design, the bride asked for a naked cake with "sprinkles of cinnamon," so I smoothed a few patches of leftover gooey filling on the sides as an accent and garnished with a few cinnamon sticks. It's simple, but I really love the way it turned out—and so did they!

Congratulations, T&M! 💛

*Sorry for not totally cleaning my counter before taking pic 4 😅 I also did not get a pic of the top of the cake except for when I loaded it into my car (ecstatic that it fit so perfectly in that spot), so I added that image, too :)
