As much as I enjoy participating in the Daring Bakers, I do run into the same problem fairly frequently – I make some component for the challenge dessert and end up with much too much of whatever it is. This time, it was grapefruit marmalade.
Luckily, I only had to wonder what I was going to [...]

The Spoils of Food Blogging
Thursday, April 8th, 2010Humble Beginnings
Monday, March 22nd, 2010This is the first post in what will be an occasional little project I’m starting on this blog. You see, as much as I love cupcakes and coming up with ways to make them weird and wonderful, I think I bake them too much. Certainly for someone who has been working at a REAL restaurant [...]
Iron Cupcake: Passion
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010This month’s theme for Iron Cupcake: Earth is passion. Obviously, this is a Valentine’s thing. So I made these on Valentines Day.
Lovintimes Day
Sunday, February 14th, 2010I’m not much for flowers or chocolate…well, in certain applications, but, you know, not so much bouquets and heart-shaped boxes. More rose water and cacao nibs.

Part is also due to the general feeling of “blaaahhhh I’m going back to bed” that the early darkness brings on in [...]
Ps & Qs
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009I am totally in love with the Union Square Green Market. Well, not every day. Some days I don’t find anything inspiring and all the tourists and snobs there (standing in my way) just make me angry. But other days…

A Very Tasty Date
Saturday, November 21st, 2009One thing I don’t really bake often is quickbread.

Long Time No Recipe
Monday, November 16th, 2009Hi! It’s been a little while, hasn’t it? I’m terribly sorry about that. I’ve been awfully busy. I finally got an internship! It’s at a very fancy, new-ish little restaurant and I’m enjoying it immensely. Even though it’s only twice a week it is, unfortunately, cutting severely into my free time lately. Not to mention [...]
