Hi. This is the first original recipe I’ve ever created and I love it very much. Pie is my favorite thing to bake and this pie is my favorite pie that I bake now. It combines elements from other the apple pie recipes that I used when I was learning how to make pie, like… Continue reading Apple Crumble Pie
Hello, again. It’s been another hot minute. And considering every minute of this year is an hour, and every week is 1 year, it’s like I haven’t posted in DECADES. As we’ve established this year is terrible, and you know what Thanksgiving is pretty terrible too. If at this point you can’t even acknowledge the… Continue reading Baking Three Pies for Thanksgiving May Not Make up for This Terrible Year, but I’m Gonna do it Anyway
Well it’s been quite the summer, hasn’t it? I know I haven’t posted in awhile, but July was pretty hectic. I was working and had summer classes, so basically all of my free time was devoted to napping. But the pandemic rages on and my work ended rather suddenly because of that, so I’m right… Continue reading I Just Want Cottagecore Tik Tok to Accept Me: Painting Sugar Cookies
The very first pie recipe I’ve posted to this blog and once again it’s not even technically mine. Add it to the bin of family recipes that probably came from a 1960’s cookbook but throughout the years became our own. This pie is a go-to of my Grandma’s. She made it for my mom and… Continue reading Pretzel Pie
Maybe quarantine isn’t so bad guys!!! Look at all this free time I have to make beautiful desserts and share them with my beloved family and rediscover the joy within! I’m kidding, quarantine sucks and every day we’re in here is probably going to be represented as a grey hair on my head. But I… Continue reading Don’t Macaron Decision
Greetings from hell. As I’m sure all of you know things are still bad out there. I leave the house once a week to go to the store and it feels like a treat. I’ve got to find some way to fill the time, so why not spend 3 days making croissants??? I feel like… Continue reading Puff Pastry Part Three: Will Work for Yeast
Things continue to be bad and when things are bad I. Want. Some. Comfort. Food. So this week my mom was like “fuck it, we have some cabbage, we’re making bierochs”. (she didn’t say fuck it, but her soul did.) If you’ve known me for awhile you might have heard me talk about the very… Continue reading Bierochs, AKA German Stuffed Rolls
****HI just as a quick update, I wrote the first draft this post on March 14 and since then (it’s now March 20) things with COVID-19 have gotten crazy. Here in the Bay Area we are in shelter-in-place, meaning I’m not leaving the house except to go to the store, and even then we’re trying… Continue reading Puff Pastry Part 2: We Live in Hell. Hell is Real, and We Live Here.
Hellooooo. So in January I did a poll on Instagram asking people if I should learn to make doughnuts or puff pastry and doughnuts won, which at the time I was kind of happy about because puff pastry is SCARY SERIOUS BAKING. February was over in .5 seconds and my school semester started, so I… Continue reading Puff Pastry Part 1: When the Going Gets Rough the Rough Get Puff
Well it couldn’t all go smoothly. After two successful rounds I finally hit a roadblock with my attempt at jelly and cream filled donuts w/ chocolate glaze. Can I just say that bostom cream donuts are like…objectively the best kind of donut. Chocolate and vanilla? A SURPRISE IN THE MIDDLE? Yes. Jelly used to be… Continue reading Donut Mania Round 3: Murder on the Donut Express
