Who doesn't love cookies? They can be round, square, flat, or fat. They can be sweet, salty, savory. or all three. And it's so easy to mix and match flavors - the possibilities are endless. What are your favorites?
Pies, Tarts & Galettes
Pies and Tarts consist of two simple components: a crust on the outside and the filling on the inside. Both are delicious and should be part of every meal....okay, maybe not every meal but you can NEVER have enough pie or tarts.
Cakes & Cupcakes
CAKE, CAKE, CAKE! I love cake and these are some of my favorite recipes. Along with cake I love a really good buttercream and Swiss Meringue is my go-to for my layer cakes, but I'm never opposed to a chocolate or lemon glaze. I hope you enjoy these recipes are inspired to bake them or come up with your own flavor combinations.
