Fire Island.
Yes, this is what it looks like. It’s my favorite place on Earth, brought to you through the magic of food and beach porn. There’s not much to say, so I’ll just show you. Beautiful bays, and lots of ice cream. Oh yea, and candy. Below is Bittersweet Ice Cream from the Ice Castle. It’s [...]

New York.
Last Saturday I left the cold and foggy summer days of northern California for the muggy and steamy heat of New York City. Except, upon arrival, New York did not at all live up to its stereotypical weather forecast. For the past 20 years, the empire state has reliably sweated and burned me each and [...]

Chocolate Cupcakes.
Cupcakes are hard not to love. They’re just so cute. To be honest, I only made cupcakes because I wanted to frost them with little soft peaks, and then have them sitting around on the counter for a couple days, just to look at. I don’t really enjoy eating cake—batter, on the other hand, is [...]

Alfajores.
So yesterday when I said I magically found myself in the Dulce de Leche section of the Latin grocery store, that wasn’t entirely true. You see, in terms of the ice cream I was about to make, the dulce de leche was an inspired, last minute improvement to the Horchata Ice Cream that really could [...]

Blame this resurgence of Ice Cream Week on a taco truck. A taco truck after 1:00 a.m. in an exceptionally interesting part of Los Angeles that would most definitely be impossible to find again during the day in a normal state of mind. Parked next to an electrical box in a v-shaped parking lot at [...]

Crack Pie.
It hard to pin down, just exactly, what is so addictive about Crack Pie. The name, for one is particularly attractive in a bad kind of way—the way in which you feel like you’re doing something naughty ‘Oooo I’m doing Crack! Or at least, eating something called Crack…tee hee hee.’ It’s the square-bakers kind of [...]

Avila Beach.
The best way to go about an excessively long drive it seems, is to stop so frequently that you trick yourself into thinking that you’re not driving for a very long time at all. It comes to the point where you begin to lie to yourself, just so that the traffic, the endless traffic seemingly [...]

Manhattan Beach Creamery.
SoCal, I love you. And yes, it does feel a little bit like cheating, but really, how could I not? You have beaches, long, wide, hot and next to clear blue water. The waves are never too big, just perfect for body surfing and floating. Sometimes, it’s true, you do have foggy days, but they’re [...]

Since Ice Cream Week was a little heavy on the sugar and the calories, I thought that I’d lighten things up with a Chocolate Cake. With Ganache and Praline Topping. Because, you know, sugar and butter and cream and chocolate are so outside the realm of what I do. Change is good. Mixing things up. [...]

As it turns out, there really is not such thing as Ice Cream Week. Yes, from Sunday, July 25th through Sunday, August 1st—until the very last hour of August 1st when this is being written—it was “Ice Cream Week,” but on Bakelist. Only on Bakelist to my knowledge. This came as a surprise to my [...]
