I probably need to cut back on the desserts (at least until Thanksgiving) because we have sort of been in dessert overload. Dustin's coworkers also blame me for making them gain weight. However, just when I thought I had my graduate school applications under control, I was thrown for a loop, and now I am reevaluating everything. Seeing as I am a...

Dustin is a pretty lucky boy. Not only did I make him a birthday cake on his actual birthday. We had a little get together with friends to celebrate, for which I made him another cake— a cookie cake to be exact. We have a special place in our heart for cookie cakes. You see, back in Houston, we'd eat this delicious double layer cookie cake...

I wanted to make Dustin a cake for his birthday that incorporated flavors he really likes, but that I wouldn't normally bake with since it was his special day. I had seen a recipe for a gin and tonic cake from How Sweet It Is awhile back that I figured would be perfect for him. I originally intended to change things up and turn this recipe...

I swear to you these cupcakes are not in support of the Green Bay Packers, despite the green and gold flags. I actually made these cupcakes for the Texans vs. Jets Monday Night Football game last week, and when I bought the decorations at Michael's those were the only colors available. So let me repeat, these cupcakes are  fully intended to...

If you are reading this post this morning, I am currently taking the GRE, so wish me luck! I sure wish I still had some cookies to come home to following my test... Sadly enough, these have already been consumed. I guess I'll have to find something else to celebrate with. In other news, I've started collecting cookbooks. I'm a little ashamed...

You know the saying "98% of statistics are made up on the spot"? Well this is one of those statistics. When it comes to cookies, I'm pretty sure 9 out of 10 people will take an oatmeal cookie then proceed to tell you they prefer chocolate chip. I'm one of those people too. But I do like oatmeal raisin cookies, especially as a change of pace. The...

Today is our blog's birthday! One year ago today we started chronicling all of the recipes we try. We've become significantly more adventurous and our cooking skills have greatly improved. A couple of years ago, there was no way I would have ever felt this confident in the kitchen, but with lots of practice and lots of research, I'd like to...

I'm not going to lie. Ever since I bought The Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook, I've been itching to make nearly every single recipe. But this recipe really stood out to me. The one I knew I had to try first. I've just been waiting for the right time. And the time is now. Chocolate chip cookie dough sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies. Oh...

I first made these cookies about a year ago before I began chronicling our recipe catalogue on wafoodie. Planning on making some sort of cookie at the last minute, I saw a stray orange in the fridge and knew I had all of the ingredients in my pantry to make these orange and vanilla cookies with flavors reminiscent of the ever popular Creamsicle...

Most homemade birthday cakes come from a box these days. Cakes made from a box have a distinct, nostalgia-inducing flavor that I think people enjoy on their birthdays, so for this cake I wanted to mimic a yellow cake made from a box, but make it completely from scratch. I chose a recipe from Bakerita for the cake and a recipe from Confessions...
