I was sad when it was announced that Iron Cupcake: Earth was no more. It was a significant factor in my getting seriously interested in pastry, leading me to experiment with recipes and learn how to make a real buttercream. It was on hiatus for a while as its fate was being determined, and I [...]

More Cupcakes!!
Sunday, July 18th, 2010An Idea to Chew On
Thursday, May 13th, 2010I’d had a really yummy idea swimming around in my brain for a while, and like all swimmy ideas it changed and evolved over time, even getting so far as to be hypothetically written out in my notebook, along with recipes for accompanying elements.

Respect 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.
