Goodbyes – {Mocha Crumble Pound Cake}

February 3, 2013 by Kaitlin

I stared into the mirror, unable to look away from my bloodshot eyes. The shower hadn’t woken me up, and it seemed, at this point, that nothing would. It was early Monday. Barely Monday, honestly. I’d not slept more than 4 hours total in the past two nights, and this one had proved no different…

Self – {Gingerbread Monkey Bread with Creamy Whiskey Maple Glaze}

January 8, 2013 by Kaitlin

I hate being told to relax. Winter break is over now, and as I look back at how I spent it, I’m in a funk. I want to be more laid back and take more time to just… I don’t know…  Do absolutely nothing before I graduate, but I can’t even stand the thought of…

Brother – {Spiced Oat Cake with Ginger Plum Buttercream and Oat Crunch}

October 31, 2012 by Kaitlin

D is a good guy. When we were young, we didn’t get along. He chose not to speak much, but when he did, his remarks were often calculated and hurtful. He had a knack for exploiting my insecurities in the most creative ways; shaming me into a pathetic down-on-myself funk from birth through most of…

Surprise – {Berry Pie}

July 17, 2012 by Kaitlin

In response to an earlier post, I still haven’t decided what I want to do with my life. I’ve still got my marketing internship (currently playing around with some fun social media stuff that I’m hoping I’ve got time to integrate in this space sometime soon), but I’ve added a position as a baker to…

For H – {Blueberry Balsamic Cupcakes}

June 30, 2012 by Kaitlin

Due to a number of circumstances, I ate many of my meals alone during the second semester of my freshman year. It wasn’t an experience I was particularly fond of. As much as I enjoy being alone, the stark contrast between dining with nine to dining with none in the dorm cafeteria kind of made…

Roof – {Best Birthday Cake with Sour Cream Chocolate Frosting}

May 21, 2012 by Kaitlin

It was 6 PM on a cool Sunday in May, and our waitress was enjoying the leisurely trickle of customers through the patio door. It wasn’t really warm enough to justify the icy pitcher of sangria that we’d ordered, but it didn’t matter. After recording our request, our waitress – A – headed for the…

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 💪
