Roopa I took part in my first Instagram baking collaboration!!! In light of current events, a local baker held the #coronabakingcollaboration to try and bring #rainbowsandsprinkles to everyone’s newsfeed. I thought a fault line cake would be particularly apt given the recent earthquakes that SLC has been experiencing. After more thought, I realized that I … More Fault Line Cookies
Roopa It’s my good friend Chris’ birthday!! Last year I was over 8 months late with his birthday cake – I know, I know – so I promised him a more timely birthday cake this year. Last year he gave me a Tasty video of what he wanted, and I harassed him incessantly about how … More Lemon Cake with Coconut Icing
Roopa It was my volleyball coach’s birthday this week, so some kind of baking was in order. It’s right in the midst of mini egg season and I got some really beautiful pastel sprinkles in my subscription, so I decided to make a giant cookie with some whipping cream to hold the sprinkles. I don’t … More Giant Mini Egg Cookie
Roopa My sister saw my other sprinkley treats and she decided she wanted something also, so I made some cookie butter bars. I also got to use my new plate from Anthropologie!! You always have to find the right colour scheme between dishes and food, so it can be really satisfying when you find a … More Cookie Butter Bars
Roopa I recently signed up for the Sweetapolita Sprinkles of the Month Club, and the only downside is that I haven’t been able to keep up to all the sprinkles I’m getting! I decided that whatever I made today was going to be covered in sprinkles regardless of what it was. I was baking for … More Chocolate Brownies
Roopa My friend is having a baby! Another friend threw a surprise Baby Shower, so I obviously said I could make the cake. The gender is going to be a surprise, so I wanted the whole thing to be pretty gender neutral. The request was chocolate cake with cream cheese icing, which kind of dictated … More Baby Shower Cake
Roopa There are three class birthdays this week, so clearly, I got volunteered into making three desserts. The first choice was these cake batter blondies from Sally’s Baking Addiction. Originally I was planning on making a croquembouche, but then I decided I should probably pass school. They were a big hit in class, and basically … More Cake Batter Blondies
CHOCOLATE DIPPED COOKIES Roopa I used this cookie recipe (minus the pudding and the chips) and added 2 tablespoons of cocoa to it. After the cookies cooled, I dipped them in melted white chocolate and covered them in sprinkles. Nothing too fancy, but they were pretty delicious.
COLOURFUL SPIRAL COOKIES Roopa I never really made a post specifically about these cookies, so I’m doing it a few months late. I used the recipe exactly how it is here: http://www.sprinklebakes.com/2010/01/colorful-spiral-cookies.html It was my first time rolling dough together, and I didn’t let it thaw nearly enough. I had some tears with the rolling process, … More Spiral Cookies
Roopa I went to a friend’s gathering the other night, and she requested cheesecake of any kind. I adapted a recipe off of Sprinklebakes, and went with a malted chocolate filling rather than a strawberry filling. I didn’t actually eat any – I had a bad experience with cheesecake once – but apparently it was … More No-Bake Malted Chocolate Cheesecake
