Yeah so I made these quite a while ago, over a year, and it was kind of a disaster. Not that they weren’t tasty; they were. But they fell apart, weren’t crispy enough and were basically flat, sad little soft disks of cheese, rice & panko. They’re an Ina Garten recipe and I’ve never, ever, […]

Drömmar cakes.
Drömmar is Swedish for “dream” and when used in culinary circles, the word drömmar is usually referring to Swedish cookies. I’m with them so far; dreamy cookies. Sounds good, right? Yeah. But the part where they lose me is the fact that they contain ammonium carbonate, which smells like ammonia. Ammonium carbonate was historically obtained […]

Puddin’ head.
Just a quick post today. Really quick. I’ll say it again- I don’t know why instant pudding was invented. It’s ridiculous. Making homemade pudding is so fast and easy to begin with, how fucking lazy do you have to be to make instant pudding?! Sure, it’s good in a pinch, and the stuff that can […]

The last garden update of the season… maybe.
Well I’ve gotten a lot of use out of my garden this summer, and it seems to be continuing. I think until at least October I’ll have some more veggies, and the herbs will last until the weather gets too cold. Which makes me sad, because even though autumn is my favorite time of year, […]

Nutella vanilla.
Just some cupcake porn for you today. And a sweet idea for filling your cupcakes (and cookies, and cakes) without making your own filling. In case you didn’t know, I have a thing for Nutella. I try not to have it around that much, just when I really crave it or want to use it […]

brown sugar | caramel | cupcakes | desserts | filling | frosting | recipe | unique
“Ah, brown sugar, how come you taste so good?”
The Rolling Stones definitely had it right (although their “brown sugar” meant something a little different than mine, admittedly). Caramel always reminds me of brown sugar. I don’t know why, considering most caramel is made with plain white granulated sugar. It just does. I love brown sugar. I put light brown sugar in my Teavana […]
