If you have a little girl, I’m telling you right now: You need to throw an Easter bunny tea party for her and her friends (or siblings). My friend Daysi had the idea last year for our girls, and it was the absolute cutest thing ever. It was also pretty easy to put together, and […]
About 10 years ago, my go-to cake recipe involved a box of cake mix, a can of crushed pineapple, a can of sweetened condensed milk, a bag of coconut and a tub of Cool Whip. It wasn’t very fancy, but it was definitely good: I won an office baking competition with that cake. Since then, […]
DId the Easter bunny go a bit overboard? Are you up to your ears in pastel-colored candies and chocolate rabbits? Or maybe you are just hoping to take advantage of the post-holiday markdowns. Regardless, if you’d like to turn that bag of mini Cadbury eggs and bunny-printed M&Ms into chewy, buttery, delicious cookies, I have […]
I hope y’all are having a happy Easter! We woke up to jelly beans and chocolate eggs from the Easter bunny, went to a lovely church in Encinitas, stopped at the beach to snap some photos and then had an amazing brunch at Searsucker in Del Mar. Coconut pancakes with macadamia nuts and Kahlua […]
It’s almost Easter! I’m hoping to bring you a few Easter-y recipes in the very near future, now that our sink is finally fixed and I’m home from Texas. But in the meantime, I wanted to share some recipes I’ve been drooling over, plus a few things I’ve made in the past — just in […]
You may recall that I love Peeps, which disgusts my friend Aaren and delights my normally uber-healthy friend Olga. In 2011 and 2012, I combined my love of baking and my love of Peeps to create a Peepcake and Peep cupcakes. Both were totally awesome, obviously. This year, since I (sadly) live farther from Olga and […]
The weather has been really weird. One day it feels like February, the next like June. It’s foggy in the morning and sweltering in the afternoon. The cherry blossoms bloomed early, and now it’s raining pink petals all over the DC area. So, basically, it’s spring. And that means… time for Peeps! You probably recall […]
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while; I was out of town. But I wanted to share what I baked for Easter/my dad’s birthday. We usually have coconut cake for Easter, but this year I wanted to something a little more bunnylicious. Carrot cake was a no-brainer. You may notice these photos were taken in […]
I love Peeps. I’m sure that isn’t surprising, given that I love marshmallows, candy corn and Red Vines. My friend Aaren thinks Peeps are disgusting (I await her comments below) and gave me a super-cute Peep-bunny Easter basket one year because she said I was the only person on Earth who likes them. But she’s […]
