The Baker's Daughter: Polka dot cheesecake
I saw someone wearing the greatest polka dot rain coat today and it inspired me to make this cheesecake. It needs to be refrigerated overnight so make sure you make it the day before you want to serve it. I find that popping it into the freezer for about 1/2 hour makes it a lot easier to cut. Using a knife dipped in hot water between cuts also helps to make clean edges.

cappuccino fudge cheesecake
Given that it is but two days after one of the most indulgent meals of the year, I suspect the last thing you want to hear about is the most indulgent cake I have ever made, and yet, given the quality of the last two vegetable-focused, lighter dishes I have made — both of which I’d give a resounding “eh” — trust me, what I’ve got going on here is much more worthy of your attention, and your table at some distant dinner party. So pull up a chair. Because this cake is ridiculous, ridiculous bordering on obscene, so obscene that even a wee sliver of it takes an eating intermission mid-slice just to get through.
Guinness Chocolate Cheesecake
St. Patrick's day is coming up and this weekend I started working on my meal plan. Normally I do not start with the dessert but when I came across this recipe for a Guinness chocolate cheesecake I knew that I would be making it immediately. Last year I made a Guinness chocolate cake and I discovered that the combination of Guinness and chocolate is a wonderful one and I could not resist using it in one of my favourite treats, a cheesecake! This recipe for the Guinness chocolate cheesecake is a pretty basic chocolate cheesecake recipe with the addition of the Guinness but the similarities stop there. The addition of the Guinness changes the texture and properties of the cheesecake making it more souffle like.I don’t know if the universe has it out for me or what, but I swear to you all, the second I start making a conscious effort to eat healthy, I’m suddenly inspired to make all sorts of naughty treats. And not just inspired, like, “Oh, I really, really, really want to make some caramel corn ,” but my brain suddenly starts putting together evil ideas for things I’ve never even made. I guess deprivation is great for inspiration, right? I’m posting my scandalous little treat on Friday, but for today, I want to share a really cool tutorial.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cupcakes with Cinnamon Sugared Chip Frosting
Cake fo’ life.
I haven't tried the cake recipe but I did make the frosting. I didn't need to add any milk but I found I wanted more cinnamon. I was worried the chocolate chips would be a hard contrast to the light frosting but they worked very well together. by Sep 3
Hey! Lookin’ a little different ’round here! I am still working out some kinks and trying to get the blog more organized, but a HUGE thanks goes out to Seth from Boy Meets Food for jazzing my site up. I know you must be thinking… ‘ another boring red velvet cake recipe?’ Not quite. I can assure you that is one of the best red velvet cakes I have ever had.

Wow this recipe looks delious, i think i might have to copy you and make cupcakes from it :) by Dec 3
I made cupcakes from this recipe and they came out great. I had to fiddle with how long I left them in the oven, (I'm still getting used to gas!) but I didn't burn any! I have not tried the frosting recipe. by Sep 3
You all know that I love breakfast foods . Maybe it’s because I don’t really cook breakfast that often. My husband sometimes cooks breakfast stuff on the weekends.

Jar of Happiness for my Birthday
Tuesday is my thirty-something birthday and I wanted to make something fun for myself. A little happiness in a jar for my happy day please! These are great because I know that in no way during the week could I make a cake for myself. I can just put the lid on these beauties and store in the fridge until my day. (okay so we all ate one tonight but there is still 4 left...)
Saturday night, New York City was the loudest I’d heard it in a long time. I should preface this by saying that I live in a noisy part of an already noisy neighborhood and under the best of circumstances — NYU students gone for the summer, long holiday weekend, rain — there’s always a Saturday night ruckus. But this was something else. This woke me up. I swear, I heard a trumpet, more sirens than feasibly possible, people cheering like the Yankees had won the World Series (did they? no wait, something about football?)
red wine chocolate cake
This came out amazing! I'm not sure if it's the lack of oil and water in the recipe or the fact that I had to put it in the oven for a little longer but it came out a bit crumbly. But somehow not dry. I suggest eating it with a spoon rather than a fork. =) by Sep 3
