My mom and I decided to go with a wintery theme for the Christmas cookies we made this year. Jersey sure isn’t getting any other snow right now.
The recipe is from Cookie Craft: From Baking to Luster Dust, Designs and Techniques for Creative Cookie Occasions.
I have an inspiration board for cookie decoration on Pinterest.

I made Marzipan Caramel Pear Cupcakes (via Sweetapolita) for Thanksgiving and to top them off I made these adorable marzipan pears.

Marzipan fruit is much easier to make than it looks. I shaped each pear, then painted them with gold luster dust mixed with cheap vodka. After the were dried I used a clove as the [...]

Last year I bought a Groupon for Sweet Avenue Bake Shop in Rutherford. It was $10 for a $20 voucher. While I had good intentions of going right when I got it, I soon realized my voucher was expiring in 2 weeks. So off I went on Saturday.
The bakery is a little hard [...]

Halloween cupcakes? Been there. Done that. I was looking for a challenge so I decided to try my hand at the latest baking trend – Cake Pops.

Bakerella recently published a book on making cake pops called, surprisingly, Cake Pops. I bought the Kindle version (which I’m disappointed in). It has some good tips but for [...]

I recently got my hands on Baked: New Frontiers in Baking. It’s cookbook from a Brooklyn bakery and the recipes looked pretty good. There were three recipes that I immediately wanted to try: almond green tea cupcakes, root beer bundt cake, and chocolate malt cake.
