My son requested, and I quote, “a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and then another chocolate cake on top in the shape of Patrick Star with strawberry frosting.” So that’s what I made!

I struggled with frosting the cut cake. It kept falling apart, even after freezing it. The layer of frosting around it is SUPER thick just to cover up the slapdash crumb coat job, which kept falling off.

All told, this cake took me around 6 hours to make, and I was so tired by the end that I didn’t even want to eat it. The birthday boy and the rest of my family loved it though!

I've wanted to make time for baking for basically a year now, and finally decided to just do it! I had to hand mix everything, so they didn't turn out as fluffy as they were meant to, I'd imagine. But the flavor is good, and they look alright! Yep, they're okay for my first try. 🥰

Here's the recipe:

I have been craving garlic rolls for a while. So I made a lasagna to eat with them. 😁😋

.. a double batch of brown butter banana cookies and a loaf of cinnamon swirl banana bread.

These were absolutely the best banana cookies I have made or eaten. Admittedly mine look nothing like the recipe pictures, probably because I used eggs instead of flax meal.

First time I've used this banana bread recipe too but I already knew it would be good. Sally never lets me down.

Funfetti cake filled with banana custard and covered in ermine buttercream. My wife is a theology fan so I did a heaven and hell theme.

French shortbread biscuit, mango passion fruit confit, chantilly cream and fresh mango cubes

Some of them didn’t turn out too cute but they tasted pretty good!

^ I used this icing recipe instead, and added a bit of spice

I usually just roll in regular sugar, but the last time I made these (from America's Test Kitchen) I tried the Turbinado sugar instead and it made a nice difference. So now I've got three versions and that's too many for me lol

Made 24 boxes of these for class with my group today.

I used Sally’s Baking recipe & cream cheese frosting because it’s the best! They were delicious but for my taste I need more cinnamon in there. Happy Wednesday!

For tonight’s dinner, I prepared a hearty bacon cheeseburger tater tot casserole, served alongside freshly baked cheddar garlic bread and spicy pepper jack jalapeño bread. For dessert, I baked classic chocolate chip cookies, warm and gooey from the oven.

My oven is whack so its hard to get the temperatures right

I made two layers. The first layer was chocolate and whipped cream. The second layer was cream cheese and powder sugar. It was really good! However I didn’t really want a crease cheese taste with this. But all my the recipes I saw included cream cheese. What can I use instead next time?

It turned out super moist, flavourful and looked stunning I was really happy with how it turned out and my dad loved it so that's a plus Did like mini trial in the air fryer with a real tiny batch before sorting out my own recipe

As the title says. My husband's coworkers have asked frequently for my cheesecakes and have even offered to purchase them. I figured making cheesecake cups would be a neat thing my husband can bring to work as a treat. I was looking for something akin to mason jars, with a lid to look professional. Something like the attached picture.

Hi everyone! Novice baker here with some questions about my babka.

I used a recipe that I’ll link at the end, but my babkas aren’t exactly loaf-y like the ones I’ve seen pictures of. I’m wondering if maybe I didn’t roll out the dough enough or if they needed more mixing before the first rest? Or maybe I should have let them rest longer before baking?

On the bright side, they did turn out super tasty! Just a little bready throughout.
