going old school

Yum

Old-fashioned peanut butter cake. I'm sure cafeteria meals have changed a lot since I was in school, but if there's one thing that I hope they haven't taken away, it's the peanut butter cake.

brown butter bliss

Yum

Brown butter banana cake with brown butter frosting. Brown butter is the best. It's an ingredient I've decided to try to work into pretty much anything I make in the future, and I'm fully convinced that those treats will be all the better because of it!

fleet flitterers

Yum

Brown butter cream cheese frosting. We always tend to celebrate Easter in conjunction with my birthday, and that's fine. I'd be making a cake either way!

the height of deliciousness

plum(b)ing the depths

Yum

Plum upside-down cake. I got on a real plum kick last summer, but little Eva has greatly limited my kitchen time this year.

blitz bliss

Yum

Blueberry almond blitz küchen. While I will sometimes embark on ambitious baking endeavors, I suspect I'll always prefer the quick fix that delivers a tasty treat.

totally transcendent

Yum

Lazy daisy cake. Bold statement: This is the most delicious cake I've had in quite some time. Our wedding cake* is probably the most recent cake that can even come close!


*Our fresh wedding cake, I should make clear. To say that tasting it out of the freezer on our first anniversary was disappointing would be a drastic understatement.

craving met

Yum

Peanut butter snack cake. I'm not saying weird pregnancy cravings aren't real--in fact, I'm sure they are--but I haven't really had any.

Yum

Vanilla bean butter cake. Dang!


That's what I said after my first bite of this cake.

internally iced

Yum

Cream Cheese Swirl Carrot Cake. When I worked at a bakery (which, in hindsight, was completely awesome), the only thing I disliked more than making pie crusts was making frosting.


And I made A LOT of frosting.

pokes and nudges

Yum

Strawberry Cheesecake Poke Cake. I have never experienced anything as simultaneously blissful and weird as feeling our baby move around inside me.

For about one quarter of my life, basketball was everything to me.

fantastic fusion

Yum

Pecan pie pound cake. I often see things online that I'd like to make and, more importantly, eat. My Pinterest account makes that obvious.


It's a rare and special occasion, though, that I'll be inspired to drop all future plans and make something I see immediately.

indefinably delicious

Yum

I've made a cake that's decadent yet light, sweet yet balanced, and totally devourable.


The only problem is that I just can't think of a good name for it.

eat more cake

Yum

Cranberry orange cake. I didn't think it would happen, but we had quite a bit of cranberry sauce leftover from Thanksgiving.


That's a fine problem to have, to be sure!

Yum

Does your grocery store carry Envy apples? If not, you're out of luck. If so, buy some immediately!
