I have a favorite chocolate cake recipe that I use for almost all cake requirements. I’m thrilled when my kids ask for chocolate for their birthday cakes because I know I’ve got it covered. But vanilla? I wilt a little when they ask for that because the recipes I’ve tried before have fallen flat. The […]
Ah. Chewy brownies. Yes, chewy brownies! Now, no offense here, I know this is a controversial, delicate topic. “Hey babe, we’re outta dessert-like items. What can I interest you in?” From the couch I hear a loungy day-off grunt, “Brownies.” “Ok, brownies it is.” So beganeth an hour+ of recipe seeking. Did you know brownies […]
Years ago, I came across these ah-MAZING bagels at my local grocery store—chock full of nuts, seeds, and dried cranberries, they were hearty, lightly sweet, and utter perfection. They were also seasonal, much to my dismay. My pleas to the bakery staff did no good. They had no control over which bagels were baked each […]
So ok, say it’s the holiday season and you’re crankin’ out the batches of cookies left and right. Cookie-splosion! But then you panic. You’re running through the list of cookie recipients in your head and you’re all like crap, do I have enough?! I probably don’t have enough. Oh my, oh dear, what am I […]
‘Tis the cookie season! And, oh my, but we have some fun cookies if you’re looking for inspiration for your holiday baking. I mean, Bec’s Apple Butter Rugelach look AMAZING (I am SO making those next week), and we have S’mores Cookies, Not Your Mama’s Chocolate Chip Cookies, and even Chocolate Chip Biscotti if you’re […]
A-what now? I know, Savory Oatmeal Cookies, this sounds freaky and weird but hold that thought. Before we roll on the cookies though, be sure to read Jen’s most recent post. My heart is broken in a zillion pieces for her and her family; I’m at a loss for words. Be sure to send her some […]
I’ve been MIA on Flaky Bakers for the past seven weeks which you may or may not have noticed because Becky has been killing it week after week with fabulous recipes like these Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes (drool) or this Prized Pumpkin Pie (which I made for Thanksgiving, and it was gobbled up faster than […]
Holy toledo, you’ve been invited to a group thing or a party or a whatever last minute during the holiday season. What can you bring?! Or oh boy, you’ve got a crowd for a holiday shindig, one pie won’t cut it. And with the plates and the utensils and the stuff and the junk …..yikes. […]
Ah. Ah ha. The obligatory Pumpkin Pie. But in this case, this pie, this pie is anything but obligatory. Aaaand I know. Alllllll the other folks out there claiming to have the best recipe, so many….this is the one you should be making though. I am, ahem, not a pumpkin fan. “So wait,” you […]
It’s funny, starting this blog, rarities like buttermilk and heavy cream and various flours and heaps of chocolate and etcetera and etcetera are now on permanent standby, at the ready for drop-of-the-hat baking. Which is generally my M.O. Life is hard, yup, and poor Mike suffers so. However, things like cream cheese are not, oddly […]
