Mardi Gras King’s (cup)cakes.

Okay, time to school ya’ll a bit now. Today, in case you weren’t aware, is Mardi Gras.

The terms “Mardi Gras” (mâr′·dē grâ), “Mardi Gras season“, and “Carnival season“,[1][2][3][4][5][6] in English, refer to events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after the Epiphany and ending on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras [...]

Gingy’s gingerbread cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting & gumdrop “buttons.”

Hearing: Weezer – “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”
I’m sure most of you have seen Shrek. Regardless of having children or not, it’s a movie that by now most of the world I think has either seen, read about, or heard enough about to know about Gingy. There’s even been a Broadway play version [...]

Sopa de Tortilla a la Mexicana, y guacamole.

If you know me (or follow me on Twitter, for that matter) you know I am obsessed with Mexican food. I could eat it everyday. Actually, I’m obsessed with all things Mexican. Sugar skulls, Dia de Los Muertos, guacamole, tostadas, tortillas, fajitas, quesadillas, carnitas, pico de gallo, Frida Kahlo- you name it, I love it. [...]

Daring Baker’s Challenge: Milan Cookies.

**I temporarily, just for this week suspended my Military Monday post, because two posts in one day would negate the  solitary  & somber purpose of the MM posts, and the Daring Baker’s posts have to be posted on the 27th. The Military Monday posts will resume next Monday! For now, view the archives. Also, this [...]

Follow the lemon brick road…

Every Christmas since I can remember and probably long before that, my mother has made 7-Layer Magic Cookie Bars, and now I do as well. Those are more of a wintery, cold weather treat because they’re heavy, with the condensed milk and all, and sticky so eating them in warm weather would be very irritating [...]

Mind your peas and shallots!

Between Jay and I (or is it ‘me and Jay’? Gee, ya spend a few years out of school and conversing with the general public and forget how to speak English)… anyway, between the two of us there are many foods that we won’t eat. We’re like children in that respect, except we do eat [...]

Lemon Yogurt Cupcakes- pucker up!

I had to bake tonight since the weather’s gotten a little cooler. 75 degrees instead of 95. I was being harrassed about the lack of baked goods around here lately, in other words: “Yes, sorbet and panna cotta are wonderful, but give us the damn cupcakes bitch.” My public wanted my sweet fluffy cupcakes and [...]

Fashionably Sweet & Tart Momma’s Day Cupcakes.

Today, class I bring you a lighter recipe. Something very different from my previous post (red velvet is a heavy recipe, this is not). Although it should be noted that its nothing groundbreaking, nothing earth-shattering, nothing that hasn’t been done before or that uses sushi flavoring or something weird. I don’t really do “weird.” Well, [...]

Fairycakes, aka Lemony Snickets cupcakes.

Jay told me he liked plain vanilla cupcakes the best. I do too; sadly we share the exquisite and complex tastes of … well… children. But thats okay, because those are my favorite &his and what better to make than something you love & the person you love… er, loves?
Tonight I was bored. So what [...]
