Welcome back to my adventures in croissant making! This time I decided to try a more traditional recipe, along with some more traditional techniques. This way is more time-consuming and requires a lot more patience than my first attempt, but it was worth it. With these, I got that golden brown crinkly top and the…

I’ve been wanting to try to make croissants for a while, and since I got a marble pastry board and rolling pin for Christmas, I decided to try it again.  I had tried once before, but that was a complete disaster. During the rolling and folding stage, the dough must be kept cold or else…

Happy New Year! I’m back after spending the week between Christmas and New Year’s playing with macarons! I’ve tried making these twice before I started this blog, and like the first attempts of any recipe, mistakes were made. The first time, I didn’t let the macarons rest at all before baking them. This was a…

What’s Christmas without a batch of Christmas cookies? I love making Christmas cookies because the smell of cookies baking always makes the whole house smell amazing, no matter what kind you make. I’m going to make my tried and true sugar cookie recipe, but this year instead of just decorating them with sprinkles, I’m going…

Even though there’s Christmas decorations up in every store and Christmas music playing on the radio, what about those who celebrate Hanukkah? That’s what this post is all about, a little taste of Hanukkah. I got the idea for this while watching the new episode of Holiday Baking Championship, where the main heat challenge was…

Now that it’s almost time for Christmas (my absolute favorite time of year), I’ve started planning out all of my Christmas baking ideas, listening to Christmas music nonstop, and making these delicious Chocolate Candy Cane Donuts! This whole thing started with me having a box of mini candy canes and a want to bake something…

I’m sorry for being gone for as long as I have, but I had a bad head cold and being a Type 1 Diabetic, there’s few medicines I can take that won’t interfere with my blood sugars. So I’ve been laying around in an exhausted, snotty, coughing heap. I also didn’t think it was a…

So I’m a little late to the party, but here it is! For the third and final installment of my Halloween baking fun, I give you Bloody Truffles! I had to include one bloody creation in all of this before the end of October (I actually made these on the 30th for the 31st) so…

Time for something a little creepier for my next Halloween post, a brownie bite graveyard! This was a lot of fun to decorate, because I got to add a little bit of creepy Halloween feel to this one. While trying to figure out how to decorate these to look like graves, I realized just how…

Happy Fall everybody! This is one of my favorite baking times of the year besides Christmas. I’ve never, ever been a fan of Halloween, yet I love Halloween baking. It’s the one time of year where I can make my baking as gory and creepy as I want, show off my skills a little bit,…
