The other day Dustin was complaining that there was no more snickerdoodle ice cream left and that I should have made more. I completely surprised him when I opened the freezer and said, "I don't have snickerdoodle ice cream, but I do have maple syrup ice cream complete with maple creme cookies." He was pretty floored that I happened to have made...

One of my favorite lunchbox treats growing up were Little Debbie's Cosmic Brownies. I loved the fudgy texture and the colorful sprinkles on top. Even once I got to college, Cosmic Brownies would be one of my frequent snack purchases on my trips to Target. Dustin and I used to eat them together in the dorms when we first started dating, in what...

Finally I made snickerdoodle ice cream! Since complaining about the ice cream shop in Seattle being out of their signature flavor, we have since made it back there and tried it. It was good ice cream, but for some reason I was under the impression that it would have chunks of snickerdoodle cookie in it. Well it didn't, so I was disappointed and...

I was told these were the best snickerdoodles ever. A basic snickerdoodle is enhanced by a generous helping of cinnamon chips to take these cookies from average to extraordinary. And as you may have guessed if you have been diligently reading Wafoodie, making these are the first step towards making snickerdoodle ice cream. Stay tuned for that...

Momofuku can do no wrong. These cookies are delicious as is to be expected from anything that comes out of their cookbook. The flavor is a bit hard to describe. Kind of like sweet and salty buttered corn on the cob or popcorn with added sugar to turn it into dessert. I know that may sound a little weird, but it really is a flavor explosion in...

After the chocolate chip brioche pretzels, this was the recipe from the Smitten Kitchen Cookbook I was most excited to try. A decadent combination of gooey butter cake (a St. Louis area dessert that is pretty well described by its name) and snickerdoodles, these bars are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I intended to eat only one before sending...

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....

I've always wanted to make Rice Krispy-eqsue treats from another kind (i.e. tastier) of cereal to make them a little more fun. After making the fruity cereal milk, I had a bunch of leftover Fruity Pebbles, and since Dustin and I don't really eat cereal for breakfast, I figured this would be a great way to use them up, as yet another treat for...

Rice pudding is definitely not the prettiest thing to eat or to photograph, but this recipe, earmarked in my Pastry Queen Cookbook for months, is absolutely delicious and decadent. I can't believe it has taken me this long to make! It does require a decent bit of time to make— a few hour of preparation to make the ducle de leche, cook the rice,...

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...
