When I’m out at a restaurant and they bring the dessert menu, there is one dessert that will get me every time. I am powerless against it. It doesn’t matter how full I already am, I can’t resist the irresistible pull of luscious, sweet custard […]
I’m Baaaaaack!! It’s been such a hot summer that I haven’t had the urge to bake at all. I thought about making ice cream or some No-Bake desserts, but after days of working outside in the hot Florida sun, my couch definitely claimed me more […]
I’d been craving cookies all week. It happens from time to time, and the craving doesn’t pass until it is satiated, so it was only a matter of time until I gave in. I’m pretty basic with my cookie tastes. Give me a homemade chocolate […]
Luscious, velvety, decadent: three words that perfectly sum up a good piece of cheesecake. As a baker and dessert enthusiast, what I love the most about cheesecake is that it is a perfect backdrop to showcase so many other flavors. Think about it. Cheesecake Factory […]

Who’s dreaming of summer? In Florida, we almost live in a perpetual state of summer, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t miss those summer fruits and flavors! I’m lucky that I have access to decent (and not ridiculously expensive) blueberries year round, but this […]
There comes a time in every baker’s life where you are just sick of sweet. It doesn’t come often, but it happens. After that Valentine’s Day chocolate cake (and the extremely important post-Valentine’s Day half-price candy sale day), I was a bit sugared-out. That meant […]
