I don't know about you, but even though I'm not in NYC, I am nonethless absolutely inspired by these cupcakes and the concepts of these upcoming classes put on by Kumquat Cupcakery. Perhaps you, too, will be inspired by the flavor combinations--or if you're in NYC…

  • My French Rolling Pin

    This is a guest post from Christie's Corner. This is my French rolling pin. It doesn’t have easy-grip handles. It doesn’t have ball bearings. It isn’t made from cold, heavy marble. It’s just a smooth, tapered piece of hardwood. For years I wondered why anyone would choo…

  • Baking Pumpkin Bars for Eighty

    Recently, a friend was cooking at a dinner for eighty people, one of these social events where everyone pitches in to help cover the costs of the food. Being from the panhandle of Florida, she was preparing a Cajun-inspired menu and asked if I would help with the dessert. While I was originally goin…

    Two weekends ago I traveled to Samut Songkhram, the smallest of Thailand's 77 provinces, located about ninety minutes to the southwest of Bangkok.

    An Epic Battle: Pi vs. Pie by prettyroses featuring a shirt tee You can see that I'm taking this thing way too seriously ... although, also, not very seriously at all (much as I take most of life)... my Polyvore "set" about the epic Pi vs Pie battle ... you can definitely see where my min…

  • Baking Class, Anyone?

    Even though I would call myself a baker before a chef, I still think my technique and creativity could use some sprucing up. I bake the usual cookies, cupcakes, pound cakes, and so on, but I haven’t gotten experimental in a while. My go to dessert endeavors are chocolate chip cookies, vanilla…
