It’s a little late (almost 11pm here) but happy Mother’s Day to all the awesome moms out there. I made my mom something tasty for Mother’s Day. Something that I’ve been wanting to make for a little while, too.

Another Treat for Mom
Sunday, May 10th, 2009Respect the Kumquat
Thursday, May 7th, 2009I’ve mentioned before that I really, really like kumquats, but prefer them fresh to candied. I hadn’t tried baking with them until today, though.
An Advantage of Being Small
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009I’ve been acquiring many strange and sometimes useless tools and ingredients along my journey to pastry chef-dom. While I am still without a proper full-sized cake pan, I have a giant cupcake-shaped pan (which to me looks more like a chef’s hat – it’s not the two-piece Wilton one everyone is used to seeing), a [...]
Swirlberries, Or How Everything Is Better With Booze In It
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009I thought I had seen the last of the Meyer lemons for a while, but found some that were a little sad but still perfectly acceptable at Whole Foods the other day. I had no idea what I’d be using them for, but I figured they’d get used somehow. It’s going to be very hard [...]
Iron Cupcake Earth: Soda
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009This month, I was a little “meh” about the theme for Iron Cupcake. I don’t really drink soda (I’m a tea and water kind of girl), and considered sitting this one out. But, it wouldn’t be a challenge if I didn’t do it, and besides, I was able to make something for the coffee challenge, [...]
A Brief Break From Tea
Saturday, April 18th, 2009Sick of tea yet? A little? I’m not, but I made something reeeally good for dinner last night and thought the internet might be interested! I saw a yummy-looking dish over at the kitchn, and decided that before the Meyer lemons disappeared for the rest of the year I’d have to make it. So I [...]
Syrupy Goodness
Thursday, April 16th, 2009Prepare yourselves for an onslaught of tea-related treats. This is one of three.
Happy Birthday Mom!
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009This wasn’t the easiest project I’ve ever undertaken in the kitchen. Well, it was easy in the sense that the recipe was simple and didn’t take too long to put together, but the planning wasn’t the simplest. In this particular instance it turned out to be a good thing that I waste countless hours reading [...]
For the Love of Chocolate: Daring Bakers February 2009
Saturday, February 28th, 2009Remember back when I joined Iron Cupcake and said I wanted a challenge? Well, that wasn’t enough for me. I had to go all out – I am now a Daring Baker. It took me a while to get my confidence up, and I’m glad I waited until AFTER those terrifying French Yule Logs in [...]
