I’ve been dying to make these chocolate whoopie pies, because the red velvet whoopies we made a year ago for Baked Sunday Mornings were really fabulous. Would the chocolate version be just as good? My batter was odd – a little runny, and I had problems with lumps of flour. It did thicken up as [...]

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

Speculaas have a reputation of being extremely addictive. In my book, they’re most addictive in the form of a spread – kind of like peanut butter, but infinitely more delicious. The cookies are kind of similar to a cutout gingerbread cookie – with a generous amount of cinnamon and other warm spices. These are easy [...]
Pecan Tassies
Posted by Sheri on Sunday, January 15th, 2012 · Comments (12)At first I thought these were going to be cookies (for some unknown reason). But after reading the recipe and description, they’re actually more like little pecan pie bites. I’m not a big fan of pecan pie. Something about nuts and pie just doesn’t appeal to me. But this is Baked Sunday Mornings, I embrace [...]
Stump de Noël & Meringue Mushrooms
Posted by Sheri on Sunday, January 1st, 2012 · Comments (9)Our first Baked Sunday Morning assignment for 2012 was an ambitious one. But I have to say, I had a lot of fun with it, and Larry did a lot of the work for the final cake assembly. There are a lot of steps to put this cake together, but for the most part, none [...]

Buckeyes are balls of gussied-up peanut butter covered in chocolate, and are a big thing in Ohio, apparently. Larry grew up in Ohio but he didn’t seem to recognize them, although he’s not a huge peanut butter dessert fan anyway. Neither am I, so I expected to just make these and then foist them off [...]
Baked French Toast
Posted by Sheri on Sunday, December 4th, 2011 · Comments (2)I didn’t have high expectations for this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings project. I don’t like French toast. Which is weird, since I love bread and I love custard. But the two together? Bleh. I’m picky about bread pudding, too, and that’s what this version of French toast resembles. The great thing about this is that [...]
Boston Cream Pie Cake
Posted by Sheri on Sunday, November 20th, 2011If I have one major baking weakness, I’d say it’s layer cakes. Especially layer cakes where I have to cut layers in half, and multi-layer cakes. Frosting covers most sins so I usually get by, but this cake isn’t frosted. And there’s no photo in the book so I’m just guessing it’s not supposed to [...]

Pumpkin Cheddar Muffins
Posted by Sheri on Sunday, November 6th, 2011I think a number of us in the Baked Sunday Mornings were skeptical about these muffins. I know I was. Pumpkin muffins, okay. But with cheddar and cayenne? Not so sure. But I’ve baked enough out of Baked Explorations to know that I should just trust in the recipe and go for it. So I [...]

Chocolate Mint Thumbprints
Posted by Sheri on Sunday, October 23rd, 2011I made these cookies for Larry to bring to a community meeting. I wasn’t sure about them at first – the filling is extremely minty, but when paired with the subtle mint chocolate cookie, it just works. The other thing I love about these cookies is that they’re adorable. I used Green & Black’s mint [...]

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake
Posted by Sheri on Sunday, October 9th, 2011I wasn’t crazy about this cake. Larry says it’s growing on him, but I don’t know, there’s just something about the flavor that I didn’t like. I took most of it to work for a Thursday afternoon happy hour and a lot of people had more than one piece, so maybe it’s just me. The [...]
