New York (Two Little Red Hens).
There is a bakery on the Upper East Side of New York City where quite honestly, dreams come true. If you’re slightly abnormal like me and spend time imagining baked goods, if pie and brownies dreams are at the forefront of your mind, then the Two Little Red Hens bakery on 86th street is quite [...]

Reminiscing about past cake is a terrible idea, mostly because cake memories are not nearly as good as cake-present. Yeah, sure. A recollection of how rich and luscious the chocolate ganache was is always nice, as is the thought of perfectly whipped, sweet frosting. But come on. I’d trade any remembrance of cake for, well, [...]

S’mores Tart.
Dear god, it’s been almost a month. Three weeks about, on the nose. Have I not eaten in the past three weeks? Clearly not. With a combination of finals, Thanksgiving, and the relative consumption of food either after all the natural light is gone or—oh my—before the camera makes it out of the bag…golly food [...]

Lowbrow and guilty pleasures, when it comes to food and television it seems, often if not always coincide. Primary example—Forget You sung by Gwyneth Paltrow on this last week’s episode of Glee.

Chocolate Gateau.
While I can say, with absolute certainty, that I have never met a cake batter I didn’t like, there have been plenty of cakes post-oven that fall short of their liquid pre-cooked potential. The disappointment is similar to that of a child just failing to reach their goals, and as the cake-parent, the post-bake is [...]

Caffe Nute.
There are many things Italy can do apparently, and one of them is convert someone with a strong dislike of coffee into an espresso drinker. It’s magic, I swear, that funny shaped peninsula filled with lovely sculpture, ridiculous amounts of silk and more than it’s fair share of pasta. It’s converted my roommate, in what [...]

Chocolate-Malt Cake.
I’ve only had one interaction with the Momofuku Empire, or two, but they happened in the same day, within the relatively same window of time as each other, and my stomach was most definitely still digesting what I had eaten at the Noodle Bar when I wandered into the Milkbar. I mean, I was still [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
