If you have kept up with my blog with any regularity in the last year, you know I have a mild salted caramel obsession. Any time any dessert involves this delicious and addicting ingredient, I ...
Until recently, Pavlova was a dessert I didnt really understand. Id seen them popping up here and there, but it never really appealed to me. Since the outside looks so hard and crunchy, I just assume...
Until recently, I didnt have much interest in shortbread. It was always the Girl Scout cookie that looked the least fancy so I didnt ever try it. I didnt think that something so simple could actually...

Happy Monday! Here we are with another decadent treat from the wonderful Milk Bar Cookbook. This time, it is the gooiest cinnamon roll you can ever imagine baked into a pie. It really may be one of t...
As Ive mentioned before, my Mom didnt let us have junk food in the house. And I mean EVER. I think once we were allowed Cinnamon Toast Crunch to have as dessert but thats pretty much it. In hindsight...
Those of you who have ever planned a wedding most likely understand this- but Im at the point of being pretty darn overwhelmed. The big day is 5 months away (plenty of time right?) and yet I f...
Woohoo its Pi Day! What is "Pi Day" you may ask? Oh you know...PI....3.14 aka March 14th aka a day where people celebrate Pie. And I mean, whats wrong with a "holiday" that involves p...
It seems that the Chocolate/Stout/Irish Cream combo is pretty popular in baked goods this time of year. Adding rich foamy Guiniess to chocolate cake batter adds such an amazing flavor and I dont thin...
These look familiar huh? Well yes youre right- I made these cookies a couple months ago. In fact, it was in the making of these that I got the idea to start Milk Bar Mondays in the first place. I lov...
Lately Ive been all about trying new and challenging recipes. I mean in the last few weeks Ive made macarons, bagels, this cake, marshmallows and mastered the frosting swirl. So, when I was looking f...

Yes I know I just posted macarons last week, but I must admit that Im a bit obsessed! I think the main reason is that every time Ive tried to make them since discovering this recipe theyve turned out...
As promised last week, here is a little tutorial video on how to make the "baker-style" frosting swirl. This is my first ever "how to" video so please feel free to give me some feedba...
I love shortcuts. Im not gonna lie, I am totally impatient and when I want to bake something- I want to bake it right now (and not in 12+ hours of waiting.) Luckily for me, some of my greatest ...
You guys I made macarons that were not a complete failure! After three miserable failures last week, I made a batch that looked pretty, had something that resembled feet, and taste absolutely delicio...

One year ago on Superbowl Sunday I had an idea. I was feeling creatively stifled, and I knew I needed to do something big to change that. I wanted to spend more time making things, and less tim...
Sometimes an amazing recipe happens because of a huge disaster. You know- I have a brilliant idea, I start to whip it up, and then an hour later Im almost in tears because nothing turned out quite ri...
