Chocolate Chip Cookies
September 13, 2013
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES Roopa I’ve used this recipe tons of times in my life, and this was the first time it gave me any grief. I ended up baking them way longer than suggested, and they still ended up pretty chewy and delicious. I think I didn’t cream the butter and sugar effectively enough since I was … More Chocolate Chip Cookies

Vanilla Chocolate-Chip Rolo Cake with Salted Caramel Icing
September 6, 2013
Roopa It’s my sister’s birthday this weekend, and she requested a vanilla chocolate cake with salted caramel icing. And Rolos. There were…issues with this cake, but I think I salvaged it ok! I didn’t really feel like doing a marble cake, so I thought I’d do a chocolate chip vanilla. I used my go to … More Vanilla Chocolate-Chip Rolo Cake with Salted Caramel Icing
Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
September 5, 2013
Roopa I’ve never really made any sort of whoopee pie/ sandwich cookie, so I thought that would be a strategic use of my leftover cream cheese icing. I had a few issues with the cookie making, but they worked out ok. They were originally supposed to be a chill-roll-cut kind of cookie, but that was … More Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing
August 30, 2013
I am a little bit sad that I have not been able to experiment nearly as much with my baking in recent days. Firstly, after a glorious summer of unemployment, I actually have a job now. Employment sort of cuts into time. On top of that, a lot of the baking I’ve been doing has been … More Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing

I went with banana chocolate chip muffins because:a) I was short on timeb) I had more than a few bananas at my housec) I was way too lazy to make icingAdmittedly, the lack … More Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE Roopa My friend’s birthday is tomorrow, and he requested some sort of chocolate peanut butter concoction. I made a chocolate peanut butter cake with honey vanilla filling (from my cupcakes yesterday) and hid the questionable icing job with lots of Reese’s cups. I used this chocolate cake recipe, this peanut butter icing recipe, and this honey vanilla … More Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
Vanilla Cupcakes with Honey Vanilla Icing
August 23, 2013
The beach volleyball tournament I’m playing in on Saturday is themed ‘Light it Up Blue’ as an Autism fundraiser, so I made blue themed cupcakes for it! The cupcake recipe is my go-to vanilla recipe, food coloured blue. They came out a touch greenish because of the vanilla, and I didn’t really want an excessive … More Vanilla Cupcakes with Honey Vanilla Icing
NYC Black and White Cookies
August 20, 2013
Roopa I have been slightly enamored with these cookies for years, due to my love of Seinfeld. Given that I live in Canada though, I didn’t actually eat one until this past May, when I went to New York. I thoroughly enjoyed that they are not so much cookies as they are small cakes. I didn’t … More NYC Black and White Cookies
