Continue reading →: Strawberry Balsamic PieRecently, the Food52 Baking Club had The Four and Twenty Blackbirds Pie Book as our cookbook of the month, which means that I now have three gorgeous pies to share with you. I don’t own this cookbook and couldn’t justify adding to my collection (but that might change… #cookbookhoarder), but…

Continue reading →: Pistachio Petit Four CakeEvery year I carefully plan what kind of birthday cake I’m going to make myself, and this year I was imagining some kind of over-the-top creation with chocolate and peanut butter. But my chocolate cake craving was satisfied when I made a Devil’s Food Cake with Marshmallow Frosting (OMG) for…

Continue reading →: Mini Mile-High Lemon Meringue PieHow is it that I had never made a lemon meringue pie before now? In fact, I’m not even sure I’d ever actually eaten lemon meringue pie before I made this half-size one – which is surprising, because lemon things are second only to chocolate things on my dessert hierarchy.…

Continue reading →: Pistachio, Rose & Strawberry BunsI came across this recipe for brioche buns filled with pistachio cream and strawberry jam and brushed with rose-flavoured syrup in the Food52 Baking Club on Facebook, where we are baking from the book “Golden” by Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer for the month of June. Despite not being too sure about…

Continue reading →: Dorie’s Cocoa-Tahini Cookies with Sesame CrunchI first made these cookies back in October and couldn’t wait to post about them because they were so delicious: a double chocolate cookie (cocoa powder plus chocolate chunks) amped up with nutty tahini paste, and then kicked over the edge with the addition of candied sesame seed brittle. Then…

Continue reading →: Rhubarb and Marzipan PieAccording to Instagram, it’s been rhubarb season since about January, judging by all the gorgeous rhubarb baked goods that have been showing up in my feed since then. I guess spring comes a lot later here in the Far North (ha) because even now that it’s mid-May, the rhubarb in…

Continue reading →: Lemon Sunshine Layer Cake with Lemon Curd and Marshmallow ButtercreamI noted previously that I was having a moment with Stella Parks, aka BraveTart, and wanting to bake all of her stuff. Well, the moment continues, and this cake is the result. I got the BraveTart cookbook for Christmas and have been drooling over it ever since. The things I’ve…

Continue reading →: Stella Parks’ Spiced Vanilla Hot Cross BunsGuys, I’m having a serious moment with Stella Parks, aka BraveTart. By which I mean, I want to bake all her stuff. Luckily, “her stuff” includes a killer recipe for hot cross buns, so I’m back this year (after a brief hiatus last year) with HCB take seven on the…

Continue reading →: Coconut Lime Cupcakes with Raspberry Jam and 7(ish)-Minute FrostingYou know when you volunteer to bring treats to work, and instead of making it easy on yourself and preparing the various components of said treat over a few days, you procrastinate and something inevitably takes longer than it should and you end up frosting cupcakes at 11 pm with…

Continue reading →: Franzbrötchen {Cinnamon Sugar Buns}Imagine if a cinnamon bun and a croissant had a baby, only the baby was smarter, taller, better looking, and more popular than both its parents. This baby would be the Franzbrötchen, a cinnamon-sugar filled flaky pastry of German persuasion that is right up there among the best things I’ve…
