I haven’t written a post in a looooong time. Hello again! Here is what has been going on! The first major reason why I haven’t been writing is I adopted an adorable puppy. His name is Kubo and he requires a lot of attention - especially the first couple months of having him home. He … Continue reading GIANT UPDATE POST
For this Easter, I made yummy lavender vanilla truffles with a cute little bunnies pattern on the tops. The truffle recipe came from San Francisco's chocolatier Michael Recchiuti's book Chocolate Obsessions, though slightly altered to fit the ingredients I had on hand. I met Michael at a chocolate class in SF. He was really nice … Continue reading Easter Truffles

Seriously, sometimes I sit on … Continue reading National Souffle Day
Tree stump cakes are a recent cake trend. After seeing picture after picture of beautiful cakes, I decided I needed to join in the fun! After some research, I learned that most of what I saw involved liberal use of fondant to get the right look, but I don’t really like the taste of fondant … Continue reading Tree Stump Cake
This chocolate-mango entremet (“multi-layered mousse-based cake with various complementary flavors and varying textural contrasts”) was my cake of choice for this Valentine’s Day! This was my first time trying to make one, and while it didn’t come out quite like I’d pictured, it tasted absolutely amazing! Most of it was multiple variations of chocolate flavor, of course … Continue reading Chocolate-Mango Entremet
Today is National Hot Chocolate Day! For me, every day is hot chocolate day, but for the rest of the world, it’s an excuse to celebrate the best beverage in existence.
