Heavenly Bakers: Carrot Cake

December 14, 2009

This week’s cake was a classic carrot cake. I love carrot cakes and am always up for trying a new recipe so I was excited for this week. The cake was listed as a chanukkah cake probably because we were making it during the week of chanukkah. I love going all out for holidays and […]

One of my favorite holiday treats is peppermint ice cream. Okay, I admit that it might be one of my favorite treats year round, but there is something about the limited edition peppermint ice cream appearing on the supermarket shelves that makes it feel like the holidays. The cooling taste of peppermint in a creamy […]

Heavenly Bakers: Fruitcake

December 7, 2009

I was very excited about making this week’s cake because I absolutely adore fruitcake. I always thought that when it comes to fruitcake the sweeter and denser the better, especially when paired with New Years eggnog, but this recipe might have changed my mind. It is outstanding. The recipe doesn’t have molasses like the fruit cakes […]

The Best Pecan Pie

December 2, 2009

I know that pumpkin pie is the traditional dessert for Thanksgiving but to be honest I could take it or leave it. It is pecan pie that is my first choice from the dessert selections, and in my mind Thanksgiving would not be quite as sweet without it. This year I tried to convince my […]

Heavenly Bakers: Catalan Salt Pinch Cake

November 23, 2009

I have to admit this cake was a disappointment right from the start. As someone who loves the interplay of sweet and salty in my desserts (like in these magic bars) I had high hopes from the name that this would be one of those recipes. Looking at the recipe I was saddened to learn […]

No Stress Challah

November 17, 2009

When people ask me for my challah recipe I don’t have a quick easy answer. I have my favorite challah recipe which is the one my family made when I was growing up. That is the recipe I always have to use for my holiday challah. It is a bit of a timing challenge because […]

Chocolate Scotcheroos

November 13, 2009

Butterscotch is one of my favorite flavors, so when I stumbled across the recipe for Chocolate Scotcheroos a few weeks ago on David Lebovitz’s site they immediately caught my eye. Peanut butter, rice cereal, chocolate, and butterscotch chips, what could be better for the perfect late night treat?Wanting to make them parve (and not being […]

Heavenly Bakers: Baby Chocolate Oblivions

November 9, 2009

As someone who always loves a good flourless chocolate cake I was excited to try this week’s Heavenly Cake Baker recipe, Baby Chocolate Oblivions. The recipe called for the cakes to be baked in silicone cupcake pans, so I decided to use silicone rose pans about the same size and was thrilled with how they […]

Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream

November 4, 2009

Sometimes great recipes come about by accident. I was experimenting with making cinnamon ice cream using a mimiccreme base and the custard turned out tasting very egg-y with almost no cinnamon flavor. Never one to throw out food that could be salvaged I threw in pinch of this and a few ounces of that.  The […]
