Angel Food Cupcakes with Strawberry Mascarpone Frosting

Angel Food Cupcakes with Strawberry Mascarpone Frosting
After all the meat that was consumed on Game of Thrones night, I thought we might want a light dessert to follow. In comes these angel food cupcakes— so much lighter, fluffier, and tastier than anything you can buy at the grocery store. No spongey cake here. These cupcakes are great when you want an angel food cake, but don't have the right pan....

Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies

Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cookies
Wednesday afternoon I went to Dustin's weekly team lunch to meet his boss and his coworkers that I regularly bake for. I'm very well known around the office for all of the baked goods he bring in. Naturally I had to bring some sort of dessert to this get together. I honestly feel like I can't go anywhere without bringing dessert these days. I...

Lemon Sugar Cookies

Lemon Sugar Cookies
In case you haven't heard the news... I am officially a Bruin. Dustin and I will be moving down to sunny Los Angeles, California later this year, so you'll have to imagine the "w" in wafoodie becoming an "l"! Choosing UCLA was probably the most difficult choice I've ever made, but now I am glad everything is finalized, and I can start getting...

Coconut Macaroons

Coconut Macaroons
Looking for a Passover friendly dessert to bring to our Easter Sunday Passover Seder, it seems the two things common for Passover that I kept coming across were flourless chocolate cake and macaroons. I chose to go with macaroons because they were super easy— at least the ones I made were super easy! I thought about dipping or drizzling them...

Carrot Cake with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting

Carrot Cake with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
It's officially Spring, and Easter will be here in only a few days, and Easter means bunnies, which means carrots! Spring is the perfect time to make carrot cake, so I set out to make my own perfect version. I was mostly successful. Taste-wise the carrot cake rocked, but unfortunately I didn't bake it quite long enough (even though I did...

Oatmeal Creme Pies

Oatmeal Creme Pies
Saturday was a fantastic day (not for Dustin's brackets— completely busted after a long day of bad basketball topped off by Gonzaga's loss). For breakfast, we stopped by Stumptown for coffee and Crumble and Flake in Capitol Hill for croissants before heading to Magnuson Park with Bonnie and her BFF, Ruby. The girls had so much fun running around...

Samoa Cupcakes

Samoa Cupcakes
To distract myself from officially making the biggest decision of my life (I think I know where the best fit is but I just can't quite commit), I am baking. A lot. Nothing to drown the overwhelming thoughts of my overactive brain, like loads of sugar. Good thing we upped our time at the gym. The day I made these we actually used our free...

Molten Chocolate Lava Cake

Molten Chocolate Lava Cake
You know that moment when you bite into a restaurant's top dessert, and your eyes roll back in your head. Your taste buds enlighten, and it all comes together in perfect harmony. I have to give props to Erin. Her latest dessert has completly elicited this reaction from me. When I sliced into her chocolate cake, and the molten chocolate oozed...

Brown Butter Pecan Sandies

Brown Butter Pecan Sandies
Pecan sandies were definitely not a cookie I appreciated as a kid. Despite being surrounded by an abundance of them, pecans were not something I fully appreciated until I was a little older and no longer living in Texas where they are plentiful and cheap compared to Seattle. But with a large box arriving from Texas a few weeks ago, I knew I...

Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

Coconut Oatmeal Cookies
Bonnie's lips and nose have been incredibly dry lately, whether from her allergies and the medications she's been taking or just the colder weather. But I've been trying to keep her hydrated with coconut oil. I searched and searched for a good substitute to Vaseline since she tends to completely lick off anything I place within reach of her...
