Ghost Hi-Hat Conecakes

By Leave a Comment

Cute and spooky ghosts made from spiced chocolate cake batter baked in crisp sugar cones and topped with a swirl of vanilla bean swiss meringue. I know I am totally ahead of the schedule for Halloween treats, but I just couldn't keep these from you. I love that I'm in a stage of life where I can share similar things from my childhood with my kids, like conecakes! Have you ever had a conecake before? When I was a kid my mom would make them in cake cones (the wafery, flat-bottom cones) and I ...

Cardamom + Coconut Peach Crumble

By 2 Comments

Bright summer peaches underneath a rocky lid of buttery, cardamom-spiced crumble. One of my first memories takes place at a u-pick peach orchard. It's not super clear but I remember eating peaches that dripped down my arm with my grandpa and that golden, late summer California sunshine.  It's one of my favorite memories with one of my favorite people and one that gets evoked every summer when stone fruit season rolls through. Needless to say, whenever peaches are good I get a nostalgic urge to ...

Yellow Cupcakes with Chocolate Creme Fraiche Frosting

Perfect, fluffy yellow cupcakes crowned with a swirl of rich chocolate frosting.

The buttery, fluffy yellow cake goes so well with chocolate frosting. These cupcakes feature all the things we love about this classic pairing in exactly one dozen cupcakes. The chocolate créme fraîche frosting is a riff on my favorite chocolate sour ...

Coffee Almond Fudge Ice Cream

Creamy coffee ice cream with ripples of fudge and toasty almonds. Are you an ice cream minimalist or maximalist? While I love a smooth, single flavor ice cream done well (like the Thai Rice at Fifty Licks in Portland), I'm a maximalist all the way. I love a crunch, ripple, or chew in my ice cream. Basically, give me all the mix-ins for maximum texture and flavor! My favorite ice cream flavor has been coffee for as long as I can remember and this one ticks all the boxes for me in terms of ...

Dulcey Brownie Cookies

By

These chewy cookies are dotted with caramelized white chocolate and taste just like a fudgy brownie. YOU GUYS! I have been holding out on these cookies and they are seriously one of the best cookies to ever come out of the oven. I have made them several times since their inception and they have been a hit every time. I shared batches with Sean's office (he works in Parks and Rec for the city), my OBGYN's office (she declared them the "BEST EVER COOKIES"), and with the nurses at the hospital ...

Berry and Gingersnap Icebox Cake

Berry and Gingersnap Icebox Cake

Festive red raspberries and juicy blueberries stud this deceptively easy gingersnap icebox cake. I love an easy, no-bake summer dessert. It means not heating up the kitchen and more time for summertime activities like lounging on the beach or by a pool or just hanging out on the patio with some good conversation and something cool to sip. This berry-spangled icebox cake is the perfect no-bake treat for any summer gathering but it's particularly festive for a 4th of July spread. If you've ...
