Take a deep breath, reader. Get ready for the easiest no-bake thing you’re ever going to make (well, other than the Ugly But Good Bars, but still). These are my new favorite sweet thing, which means it should really be your favorite new sweet thing too. I dare you to make these and then tell […]

Yep, the oven is still broken. So that means more candy recipes… which is really a delightful thing because who in their right mind doesn’t love a good bit of candy? I needed the perfect reason to pull away from cakes and breads and brownies (what a horrible thing to type! I’ll never pull away […]

This is a recipe for exactly what you want to see with candles on top of it on your birthday- a mass of chocolate frosting with layers of amazing vanilla cake going on amidst it all. Layers of cake created essentially as a vehicle to support the real reason birthday cake was invented- which is […]

Wondering what hokey pokey is? Oh, you’re going to want to know. It’s a lot more than a goofy song that we all know and love (to hate)… (but really- Urban Dictionary online actually defines Hokey Pokey as “a satanic ritual which requires one to put the right foot in and then the right foot […]

It’s fairly obvious what happened here. Or is it? Because I still don’t know where things went wrong. One minute I was successfully piping dark chocolate on the most-excellent Hokey Pokey Sponge Toffee, and the next minute I was taking a chocolate shower. Five minutes prior I arrogantly asked The Husband if he wanted to […]

Word to the wise: bake stuff into a little tart shape and people will like it 34% more than if said stuff was baked into any other shape. I made up the 34% stat, but the fact remains. People love tarts. This is a PB shortbread cookie, which on its own rocks the house. But […]

I made this cake for my sister because I know she has a thing for chocolate cake. In the morning. (I think she likes it best with vanilla frosting but she didn’t complain at 7am as we were rushing to get her into a cab to the airport on time. Nope. This went down quite well, […]

Oh, easy. I love you. I especially love you when I have no time and energy to get all fancy in the kitchen, and yet I’m still compelled to bake something. But not just anything… something good. (Really good, let’s be honest.) I knew I wanted to bake a cake (we were moving soon and I […]

It’s that pumpkin time of year, and so therefore everything is right in the baking world. You know, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Praline Cheesecake with Bourbon Caramel Sauce, Browned Butter Pumpkin Cake with Salted Caramel Frosting, Pumpkin Cream Cheese Tarts… we’ve been there, done that, and we’ll absolutely keep going to the pumpkin patch for more.

Yes, it happened. Peanut butter was swirled into the Classic Shortbread Cookie dough. Oh, and chocolate was spread on top, too, which makes this cookie an absolute instant hit. The fact that these cookies were shaped into fingers makes them strangely even more attractive to people to eat (really- make a cookie, even an average […]

I needed a recipe to remind me why it’s worth it to bake with yeast again. Because sometimes yeast and I don’t get along… like when I made these Hot Cross Buns (which ended up not so hot… a lukewarmish success at best. Lukewarm Cross Buns. Not Hot.). I found it. (Thanks to Marilyn, the woman […]

I know this doesn’t really look like a disaster, so allow me to explain the full extent of the drama that unfolded after I spilled about a cup of flour all over the freaking place: There really was was flour all over the freaking place- which is enough of a situation to at least mildly […]

Toasted almonds and milk chocolate just work. Don’t try to argue about it, because you’ll lose the fight all night long. Take a perfectly good sliced almond, improve it 750% by toasting it (really- if you don’t toast your almonds then you are living in a hazy, cloudy, sad, bland place), and throw it into […]

Look at them. All 15 of them. 15 Ghirardelli chocolate chips taunting you, begging to be devoured. I should mention that the 15 chips (on the muffin on the right, just in case you’re confused) are merely the chips on top of the muffin, whereas an entire gang of premium chocolate chips have taken up residence inside of […]

Sometimes cake just isn’t exciting enough. Sometimes you need to take a hunks of a perfectly good cake, roll them in your hands like you’re a kid (only your hands are clean in this scenario unlike a child’s grubby-playdoh-sandbox-poo-covered hands), and then drown the cake balls in frosting. And then you eat the cake balls […]

If I didn’t intervene when I did, I’d still be scraping a burned pool of blueberry goo off the bottom of our 400º oven. Lucky for me I caught the blueberry avalanche before it set the smoke detector off. As it stands, it’s just the dessert itself that was ruined (and my morale, because it […]

Imagine for a second that you have a banana muffin and it’s stuffed with what can really only be described as blueberry pie filling. It’s happening. Right here, right now, in this post. I used this super-cool gadget that let me bake the muffins with a hole in them, so I could fill them with […]

More Sweets Please is moving (more on that later, rest assured), and we’re too lazy to move all of our inventory with us! (Well, the burly movers will be moving the stuff, but we’re too lazy to pack the “World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie” kitchen towels and aprons and then unpack the kitchen towels and aprons.) […]
