I made these sweet little almond cakes a couple weeks ago for my evening at The Huntington. I mean, there’s no reason to not have special food just because you’re eating it on the grass, right? These types of cakes are sometimes referred to as friands when they are baked in oval, muffin tin type…

Fat Tuesday: New Friends and a Free-Form Pie
I’ve been wanting to make a pie, a peach pie to be exact! I also wanted to do something a little funky with it. So, I decided to bring the funk by doing something different with the top crust. It was super fun to play with, too! The adult answer to play dough! The Rock…
Fat Tuesday: Rosemary Fig Upside Down Cake
I LOVE an upside down cake, but my love of these inverted delectables pale in comparison to that of my brother. Knowing his love of figs, I knew that even if nobody in the world liked this cake, I would have at least one fan. His exact comment when I sent the food porn to…
Fat Tuesday Meets Two-fer Tuesday: Coconut Cookies Two Ways!
I love coconut. I know that it’s not the flavor for everyone, though I don’t get that for the life of me! I got a new fridge, hence, was forced to empty the old one entirely. You know, not a quick little clean up, the whole shootin’ match! I came across a half used bag…
Black Berry Bourbon Peach Pavlova
So, if you want a stunner, this is it! Words will not be able to express the depth of flavor that this dessert had. Named for the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova in the 1920s, this dessert has become an important part of Russia’s national cuisine. It used to be considered the dessert of royalty. I…
An over the top birthday cake, for an over the top friend… The Lavender Honey Lemon Meringue Cake.
As you may have read, my best friend’s 40th birthday would have been last Saturday, 7/11. Her too short life, ended at 38 but I’m certain that she would have wanted those left behind to celebrate. I know her family and friends had a party back home. They ate good food and drank good drinks……

Apricot Cheesecake Bars, almost as tasty as Tits n’ Ass
I LOVE cheesecake… voluptuous thighs, full round breasts and a gently swaying bouncing ass. The dessert is great too! Starting with the graham cracker crust and the perfect cracker to butter ratio. Next, the filling should be fluffy and creamy but not overly sweet. To me, cheesecake should have a bit of a tang to…
Fat Tuesday! Ooey-er Gooey-er Buttery-er Cake
In the true spirit of Fat Tuesday, I am using butter. Like… a lot of butter. I’m making my ultra decadent, uber fattening, ridiculously rich version of this already outrageous southern dessert. I wanted to up the ante by doubling the butter and adding sour cream. This is special occasion food, people. This isn’t meant…
Red, White and Blue Cobblerettes
You’ve probably heard of “Dump Cake” or “Cake Mix Cobbler”. It’s where you take dry cake mix, canned pie filling and butter and turn it into a delicious cobbler-esque dessert. I wanted to do a spin on this, one that would be fun to make, easy to take and is a good way to use…
