We’re all guilty of it – you buy bananas because they’re like 40 cents a pound, you eat 3 of the 5 you buy, and by the end of the week, you’ve got those two dark brown, mushy bananas sitting on your counter staring at you. I’m totally guilty of it too. However; before you […]
One of the most common questions I get is “how do you come up with your cake flavors?” I wish I had some super thorough, scientific process, but it’s literally this – I just ask myself what sounds good at that moment, and then I get to creating it. This cake is a perfect example […]
Ever since one of my best friends was told she’s severely gluten-intolerant, I’ve been trying to create baked goods that are delicious but totally gluten free. I’ve found that a lot of GF baked goods out there tend to be dense, heavy, and flavorless – she told me she agreed. So, the quest to create […]
No trip to Starbucks is complete without a slice of their iced lemon poundcake. It’s tart, sweet, with a nice thick layer of glaze, and it’s the perfect complement to literally any drink – coffee, tea, etc. Given that most of my cooking/eating/coffee happens at home these days, I sought to recreate their iconic lemon […]
I’m always looking to come up with creative new cake flavors and combinations.

It’s one of my year-round faves, so when Dijas Foods approached me about incorporating their gluten free (and vegan!) cookies into a recipe, I wanted to create something that brought back that childhood high of a chocolate […]
Move over Banana bread, there’s a new cake in town. Before you turn those overripe bananas into muffins yet again, whip up this insanely tasty layer cake instead! The combo of banana + chocolate + peanut butter is rich and oh-so-satisfying, and Cocoa Crispies cereal adds a fun crunch element to this cake! It’s perfect […]
This year, the 4th of July definitely feels different (heck, the whole world does). With a global pandemic bringing travel and parties to a standstill, we’re not left with a lot of options for safely celebrating the holiday. Couple that with everything going on in the world, and celebrating as usual definitely doesn’t feel right. […]
Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE cake. It’s my favorite dessert, bar none. The combo of a flavorful, moist, baked cake with fluffy frosting is the best thing ever, so I love making whatever cake combos pop into my mind.
