(a quick shout out to Lenore. thanks for following the blog!) OK. I messed up. I made a really good cake and didn't take a single picture. Great. But...this cake is real good, and deserves a post. And the internet...so many images! This recipe comes from one of those half-sized recipe magazines...

A black and white cookie is a yellow cookie iced on one half with white frosting, on the other with chocolate frosting. They translate beautifully to a cupcake. But I'm getting ahead of myself. The cookie looks boring. When done well, though, it is much more than the sum of its cookie part and fr...

Angie and Rob invited up to a picnic with their kids Miles and Giana. We brought these. Flowers? Buttons? Suns? Moons? Eyes? mmhmm. This recipe is so simple that I almost wasn't going to post about it. But this blog is partly about excellent versions of classics, and this is the best rolled sugar ...

For better or worse, right? Not everything I make is a home run, and if anyone is reading this (besides the e-archaeologists of the future who may have stumbled upon this....but wait, you guys too....if you still bake in the future) then I think I owe it to you to share the lessons of my learnings. ...

Another du-liiiiiiiiish variation on my standby biscuit recipe. Adding cornmeal gives these a nice crunch and color. The chili powder and sage work very well with the cornmeal. These kind of taste like Doritos biscuits. Butter them up and feel your head explode (good thing) when you start chewing. ...

aka Orange Cupcakes with Lemon Frosting Dang. I mean, honestly, these were great. I don't mean to brag. But I do. I didn't exactly see them in a dream, but I saw them in a daydream late in the winter, and have since been waiting for warm weather. the Orange Cupcakes: so flippin' easy! Oven to 35...

I've joined the online Bread Baker's Apprentice Challenge. This is the second recipe in the book, and in the challenge. Greek Celebration Bread is an easy bread that starts with a pre-ferment the night before. The pre-ferment takes 11 minutes to prep. I kid. I didn't time it. But it was fast. ...

Peter Reinhardt's Bread Baker's Apprentice is my favorite bread book. I've mentioned it before. I found a group of other baking bloggers, organized at Pinch My Salt, who are baking each recipe in the book, in order, one at a time. I'm joining in. At least until it gets too hot. Pinch My Salt is ...

From The Bread Baker's Apprentice comes this easy and delish bread. This is maybe my favorite bread book. The author, Peter Reinhart is a really good educator/writer with a great blog here. It requires making 2 starters the day before you bake, but it adds up to about 20 minutes of extra work. Thi...
