First things first, can I get a collective HOORAY for summer’s arrival?! It’s officially here, and the longer days and warmer weather have put me in an unusually peppy mood, even for a gal who spends most of her time hopped up on sugar. And since I no longer have the luxury of spending two long months […]

*editor’s note: I’ve known Shauna Sever, San Francisco-based blogger at The Next Door Baker, for a few years now, and I’ve long been a fan of her simple, crave-worthy recipes as well as her kind and fun personality. I couldn’t have been more excited to receive her newest book, Real Sweet, in the mail recently, […]
Birthday cakes are the best. Is there anything that feels – or tastes – more celebratory and indulgent than a multilayered confection topped with a crown of flickering candles? For me, they also taste like love: every year since I can remember, my mom has taken requests to make whatever cake I want, and they’ve […]
Marshmallows are, hands down, one of my favorite things to make at home. Try them once, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find even a trace of relation between the homemade version and the waxy, deflated ones you find at the grocery store. Don’t get me wrong, each has its place in the sun, and I will gladly […]

With the Kentucky Derby only days away, I’ve been feeling a little nostalgic for the Kentucky Derby celebrations of my childhood. When I was growing up, we often attended the home of my parents’ best friends for their annual Derby party. Having grown up in the Bluegrass State, they were deeply rooted in the traditions surrounding […]
It’s always right around this time of year that I start craving desserts with fresh juicy berries and zingy citrus fruit — flavors that practically shout from the rooftops that Spring has arrived and it’s time to savor desserts with a lighter vibe. For a garden party I hosted in my backyard, I made this Raspberry […]

I’m going to be completely honest with you guys. This recipe was brought about by a disastrous cake failure. When planning for this post I had grandeur plans for a supremely moist, citrusy, and blush pink pound cake (hello, spring!) garnished with creamy mascarpone glaze and golden toasted almonds. Sounds pretty dreamy right? Well, things […]
Madeleines may have found their place in history thanks to Proust, but these buttery scalloped cakes are undoubtedly delicious enough to stand on their own, literary references aside. I’ve loved them for years, and can’t believe I actually had to purchase a madeleine pan to make these at home for the first time ever. The […]
I have spent the last twenty-seven years of my life (so all of them) coveting any and all creamy desserts. From ice cream, to pudding, to more ice cream, I just can’t get enough. I have distinct memories of my ten-year-old self bellying up to the kitchen counter, preparing those little boxes of instant pudding – pouring […]
It would be impossible to celebrate love’s favorite holiday without our one true love…chocolate, of course! What better way to say “je t’aime” than these decadent delights adorned with an ombre royal frosting. Now’s the time to up your game by making these extra special — pull out your apron and make a homemade, but still super simple, batch […]
