It’s still September, isn’t it? Barely? Good! September marks the anniversary of the release of one of my most very favorite books, The Flavor Bible! Last year I did a post about it and this year Karen and Andrew (the authors) were kind/terrifically sweet and generous enough to send me a copy of The Flavor [...]

A Frozen Birthday Toast
Thursday, September 30th, 2010A Little Tropical Action
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010Hi! It’s been a while…oops. No cupcake competitions this month. Honestly I just wasn’t feeling the Mystery Box theme (I am not a sentimental person and the things I liked as a kid were pretty boring…ok at one point I had a great idea but it was on the last possible day to enter and [...]
Rethinking a Least Favorite
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010Recently I thought to myself, while building an apricot-raspberry tart at work, that raspberries were my least favorite berries. Strawberries are sweet and seductive, blueberries (wild ones, anyway) are tiny and tart, blackberries are big and inky and juicy. But raspberries?

You Tart!
Thursday, July 8th, 2010Oh hey. It’s been like a month. I promised things were going to change, didn’t I? …Well, they’re not. At least not in the way I promised. See, I just don’t have the energy, or honestly, the interest to be as hardcore into blogging as I was a year ago. Priorities change. So instead of [...]

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 [...]
In Which I Excitedly Throw Fruit at the Reader
Monday, December 7th, 2009Well hello there. As you can see, I’m still a little…casual about updating the blog. Part of this is due to the ridiculously early darkness that prevents me from getting pictures on weekdays. Part is also due to the general feeling of “blaaahhhh I’m going back to bed” that the early darkness brings on in [...]
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 [...]
