We can’t all afford Blair Waldorf’s fabulous clothes.

I have had a subscription to Bon Appetit for a year (after they shuttered Gourmet) and read it every month… but none of the recipes ever looked very good to me.

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while; I was out of town.

As my mother and most of my friends will tell you, I may have been the pickiest child on the planet.

When Toby and I went to visit my BFF Melissa in Toronto over Christmas break, we walked by a super cute bakery that, unfortunately, was closed.

I am home now, but I started this post in a Starbucks in Columbus, Ga.

Do y’all Pinterest? It seems like everyone is talking about it now, but I first heard about it in August from Bridget at Bake@350.

Remember that time I made scones with coconut oil instead of butter, but gave you no good explanation for it? Sorry about that.

It has been far, far too long since I posted a cake recipe, y’all.

Delicious white cake bursting with rainbow sprinkles and covered in coconut buttercream -- the perfect cake for a birthday party!

Rainbow sprinkles and coconut were perfect for my birthday, but for Toby’s birthday? I obviously needed something spiked with bourbon.

I know: Making your own marshmallows seems like something that only Martha Stewart, a Brooklyn hipster or someone whose blog is named “Marshmallows and Margaritas” would attempt.

Have you noticed how trendy sweet potatoes are these days? I’ve always loved sweet potatoes — particularly when mashed and topped with gooey marshmallows — but they used to be a fall-only kind of vegetable, and now they’re year-round, while white potatoes.

Thanksgiving is full of browns and oranges, with the occasional pop of red.

Though mint chocolate chip ice cream and coconut gelato tend to be my favorite frozen treats, sometimes only strawberry ice cream (or a strawberry milkshakes) will do.

Since Melissa was visiting California for her birthday, I HAD to figure out the perfect birthday cake to make for her.
