We celebrated Easter as well as our little Reese’s 4th birthday. On Saturday we went to “The County,” where Grant grew up, to visit his dad (Grandpa), step-mom Kathy (Grammy), and family at the farm. It’s such a neat situation, because it’s the house Grant grew up in, which is on the same property as his grandfather’s (Poppy) farmhouse, so when we go with the kids, there’s so much for them to see and do. When Reese first saw the Rainbow Cake on Whisk Kid’s blog, she fell in love with it, and rightfully so–this cake is a kid’s dream come true with its 6 vibrant rainbow-coloured layers and tons of buttercream!

I told Kaitlin that I think the fact that she left her buttercream Rainbow Cake white on the outside was complete brilliance and perfectly executed. What I absolutely love about this cake is the element of surprise and the wow-factor, when the first piece is cut and served. 1. Monday Morning Mmmm: Snickerdoodle Cake — Giving Up on Perfect.

Since my friends and I would be celebrating a birthday, a special cake (instead of my usual, go-to dessert, brownies from a box) seemed to be in order.

Intro If you don’t want gaggles of children beating down your door on Halloween night then look no further. If you’d rather not be the most popular house on the block then continue on your Internet search. If you aren’t a fan of a cookie crust so tender it shatters in your mouth, or a creamy caramel – dark, intense and scattered with salt, or bittersweet chocolate blended with butter to create the perfect cap to this cookie, then you might need to get checked because I think something is very wrong.

If you like the idea of all these things then you are in the right spot and you are here just in time as this is the perfect cookie for this candy-laden season. While I don’t recommend passing these treats out to your trick-or-treaters as homemade treats aren’t super popular these days, save these for special guests or Halloween parties.

I just… I saw the canned pumpkin at the grocery store, bought a few cans, and now I can’t stop. I want to put pumpkin in everything. I’ve seen this one particular recipe popping up here and there for muffins that are supposed to taste like donuts. Now, I love donuts. Love love love.

But I have one teeny, tiny problem with making donuts: I won’t fry anything. There are lots of reasons why – the smell, the terrifying vat of scorching hot oil, my pants need to fit – but the bottom line is that I won’t fry anything myself, so I will never make my own donuts.

However, I did have some of the crack pie made by Ellie (Almost Bourdain) adapted from a recipe posted on LA Times. She didn't care how we are going to eat it, either with fingers or forks, so long we act fast for a very practical reason. A filling that is made with egg, butter and sugar will not hold for long in humidity and will simply melt into a molten lava of sticky sweetness. Over a month ago, I decided to give the recipe a try and made the crack pie for Easter lunch party. I also rediscovered the enjoyment of Cornflakes, all thanks to momofuku.
