Rhubarb & Cardamom Layer Cake

May 18, 2018 by Kaitlin

I can’t drink, thanks to my new meds, which has robbed me of what I would consider a vital element to my relaxation equation. What can I say? I’m a Flannery. Booze is important. As a result, I’ve been looking for other ways to keep my hands busy. I’ve been doing more baking than you’ve seen here,…

Chocolate-Covered Mango-Passionfruit Cake

April 17, 2018 by Kaitlin

Like most people, I don’t really love going to the doctor. Unsurprisingly: paying my premiums is a source of severe irritation, particularly when the all-too-familiar solution to whatever is an unhelpful and ambiguous prescription of “rest.” As a result, I’m generally one to wait things out. Often — fortunately — I’ll get over it. Sometimes, however, I wait myself…

How To Make a Rhubarb Rose

What do I even say, after an absence of two years, that doesn’t sound completely trite? Steven and I got married last year, and we added a sweet little furbaby, Olive, to our family. The three of us spend a lot of time doing things that are surely, from the outside in, quite unremarkable. But, you know, they’re great…

The Savory Side of Life – {Everything Bagel Babka}

April 3, 2016 by Kaitlin

Everything Bagel Babka

As a child, I remember being upset that my best friend got to eat ice cream every night after dinner. I wanted ice cream every night, but my parents refused; there was to be no dessert after dinner, and that was that. Treats were reserved for special occasions — including surprise trips for Superman Ice Cream…

Work – {Sticky Grapefruit Rolls with Grapefruit Cream Cheese Glaze}

January 31, 2016 by Kaitlin

Sticky Grapefruit Rolls with Grapefruit Cream Cheese Glaze. Pillowy soft like a cinnamon roll, but fruitier!

I stopped wearing makeup recently. While it’s true that I’m trying to take better care of myself, that had absolutely nothing to do with it. It didn’t help my skin clear up, and it didn’t help me save time getting ready in the morning. It was because, for the first time in my life, I’d…

Learn – {Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie}

Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie - Whisk Kid

Occasionally, I wonder how different I would be if I had been born into a family of bakers. I wonder if I’d still be baking if I’d learned, as a child, to speak the language of dough. I wonder if the beauty of butter would still fascinate me, or if the magic of eggs would…

Modifying a fav chocolate cake recipe into somethi Modifying a fav chocolate cake recipe into something a little more my own. Brown sugar. Greek yogurt. Espresso. Pretty darn good. Continuing with the speckle theme from the last cake too because it’s just so darn fun to do. 

I was terrified to submit my cakes to the oven after the revisions I made to the recipe I was working from. They turned out perfectly, which was a huge relief considering the amount of bizarrely cratered cakes I’ve been turning out lately! That frustration put a bad taste in my mouth, so I sought out other hobbies as a reprieve. I fell back into knitting, which felt great, but it’s very time consuming 😉 I knocked a couple sweaters off my list on Ravelry and have a couple more I want to make. 

Relatedly, I know I’ve shared it before but here’s another friendly reminder that your local library probably grants you access to all sorts of virtual classes via a free app. Whether you want to learn how to work with fondant or sew a bra, there’s plenty of exciting new hobbies to explore.
The cranberry frosting on this cake is incredible The cranberry frosting on this cake is incredible but goodness gracious: the cake is absolutely not! I’ve made two yellow cakes in a row - different recipes - and they’ve both ended up with crazy tunnels like I’ve never experienced in my life. I was telling @meghan_splawn recently that I feel like I can’t get anything right until the third try these days, even things I have plenty of experience with (hello?! I can bake a cake!!). It’s driving me absolutely nuts. Tell me your favorite yellow cake recipe and help me break this curse? #f52grams #f52community #thebakefeed #weekendbaking #cake #beautifulcuisines #huffposttaste #thekitchn #instafood #bareaders #bakemore #williamssonoma #rslove #bakewithus #makemore
Stay-Soft Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls Cinnamon rolls a Stay-Soft Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls 

Cinnamon rolls are like new cars. The second they leave the oven, their value begins to drop immediately. Really: a cooled cinnamon roll is just…. Not that great. But this @kingarthurbaking recipe gets around that by cleverly incorporating tangzhong (cooked flour and milk), ensuring a soft, pillow texture much longer than traditional cinnamon rolls. Swipe to the last slide to see how soft the rolls are even hours after baking. I can personally attest that they’re excellent even the next day 😉 

I recently finished one of those massive 7-oz containers of cinnamon - before the expiration date! - which felt like some sort of life achievement. Baking these seemed like a great reason to bust into a new container of Ceylon cinnamon 💪
