CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH MALTED CHOCOLATE ICING Roopa This cake is from a while ago, but I was looking through my old pictures and remembered how much I like the basketweave design. I used this cake recipe and this icing recipe. To date, the malted chocolate is one of my favourite kinds of icing!
Roopa It is Alana’s birthday this weekend!!! She is baking herself a cake (obviously), so I wanted to make something completely different. Alana’s favourite things in life include hammocks and peanut butter, so there was no doubt that this needed to be a peanut butter centred treat. We actually make peanut butter at my house, … More Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Sandwich Cookies
Alana My buddy Manny is moving to Grand Prairie next week for a job he got up there. Last night was his going away party, so I figured I could justify taking the time to bake something to bring, even though I should be studying for my mental health final (positive coping mechanism?). I was … More Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes
Alana The time period between finishing my last final (from winter semester) and starting spring term I was on the most ridiculous activity bender… mostly involving drinking. One of my more sober activities early on was thoroughly sifting through all things baking on Pinterest. I stumbled across a picture of sugar cookies filled with sprinkles, … More Confetti Whipped Shortbread Cookies
Roopa It was my friend Clara’s birthday a little while ago, and upon my insistence that I make her a cake, she requested anything with cream cheese icing. I decided to go with a lemon cake because – let’s be honest – lemon is kind of amazing. I wasn’t feeling that well when I made … More Lemon Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Icing
MINT CHOCOLATE SANDWICH COOKIES Roopa I had some leftover icing from these cupcakes, so I decided to make a batch of these cookies (minus the chocolate chips) and make little oreo-esque cookies!
Roopa Ever since I started baking, my mother became rather popular at work, since most excess cupcakes tend to go to her coworkers. One of the girls she works with will be leaving soon, so I made these. The icing is pretty sweet with the white chocolate, so it pairs really well with the chocolate … More Chocolate Cupcakes with Mint White Chocolate Icing
ALMOND SHORTBREAD COOKIES Roopa I tried out the shortbread recipe from the Sprinklebakes book today, which can also be found here. I used almond extract instead of vanilla, and they turned out fantastic. They are quite easy to make, and it’s also easy to gauge when they’re done!
Roopa A friend of mine is in town today, so I thought I’d make him some cookies! In the past I’ve given him a lot of vanilla (even though he prefers chocolate) so I I’m overcompensating with these cookies. I just tweaked my normal cookie recipe, which worked very nicely. They’re strongly chocolatey, and not … More Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
VANILLA CUPCAKES WITH MALTED CHOCOLATE ICING Roopa It was my end of season volleyball party, so obviously I brought cupcakes. I used this cupcake recipe, and this icing recipe (although I use a bit of milk rather than cream, and I proportioned everything to ~90g of butter), and put skor bits on top.
