This cake is rich, dense, and definitely very chocolatey. Made with a full pound of bittersweet chocolate, eggs, a little sugar and Amaretto, it is decadent and delicious! We love to serve it with raspberry coulis and a dollop of vanilla whipped cream.
Biscoff Latte is homemade latte recipe. Just combine your espresso coffee with smooth Biscoff spread, warm milk and foamed milk or whipped cream and enjoy. No extra sugar added!
This dessert is amazing. It doesn’t take a ton of actual work, but you do have to start making it about 24 hours before you want to serve it. And it is soooo worth it. Imagine cherry pie filling floating on a magical cloud of meringue, whipped cream and marshmallows. If you love sugar (and [...]
While we were in Kentucky for Toby’s grandmother’s 80th birthday, we went to Virgil’s Cafe in Bellevue. The last time we ate there, I had a really fantastic cheeseburger. This time, the most memorable thing was a chocolate-bourbon torte. After about two bites, I started thinking about how I could make something similar. So when [...]
This gorgeous strawberry sponge cake is the fluffiest you'll ever eat. The sponge layers, separated by whipped cream and fresh strawberries and finally dusted with powdered sugar, will make your heart beat faster.
Y'all. Y'all. It's milkshake time, but not just any milkshake; This is a creamy peanut butter milkshake, drizzled with chocolate, topped with fluffy whipped cream, sprinkled with crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth mini chocolate chips, and topped off with an ooey-gooey Butterfinger brownie. Holy moly, this thing is amazing, so I have dubbed it a MONSTER Peanut Butter Brownie Milkshake, and it's not for the faint of heart...or those on a diet. #sorrynotsorry. It may look a little complicated, but using a Nestle Toll House Baking Mix makes it easy to put together.
Have you heard of the Piecaken? It's the dessert equivalent of the Turducken, and I've created one that's just perfect for any holiday table! This Piecaken is a Pumpkin Pecan Streusel pie baked inside of a butter cake, iced with fudge icing, and sprinkled with shaved milk chocolate and each slice is topped with a dollop of whipped cream. Yum! And since you guys know I'm the shortcut queen, I've made the recipe as easy as possible to make!
Valentine's Day is approaching quickly, so it's time to plan how you'll show your partner your romantic spirit. *wiggly eyebrows* Will you buy a gift or make something with your own hands? Will there be food, drinks, and candlelight? Sweet cards to greet them in the morning? I love planning sweet little surprises for my hubby, one of which will be an impressive dessert and I think I made a doozy this year: a berry cream-filled conversation heart cake! This little cake has an inch-thick strawberry whipped cream layer above a layer of sweet, seedless raspberry preserves that brings the creamy, dreamy to this dessert.
If you've never had a Tres Leches (three milks) cake, you're missing out! It's a rich, sweet, custardy poke cake topped with a homemade vanilla whipped cream, but the addition of a thick caramel drizzle takes it over the top! It may sound complicated to make but I've taken a few shortcuts to make it a breeze for anyone to whip up!

Relax, I've got you covered. 😉 This Pumpkin Pie milkshake has caramel drizzles and shortbread crumbles, whipped cream, pecans, and mini pie slices on skewers. Why settle when you can have it all?!
The creaminess of chocolate pairs so well with a well crafted porter. For this tart I used Firestone Walker Reserve Porter, it has the perfect balance of flavors for this recipe with notes of chocolate, coffee, caramel and a touch of a citrus taste. You also want to use a really well made chocolate, because, like beer,…
I’ve learned a few things in the handful of days I’ve lived in Seattle. People here drive like nice, sane, humans. Unfortunately, I’ve been conditioned by the LA freeways to drive like a pissed off asshole. I’ve been driving in LA since I was a teenager. I need to learn to drive like a sane…
Strawberry Pineapple Pale Ale Cake with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting This is the new beer-to-watch of 2016. Pineapples have been slowly sneaking their spiked heads into brew kettles for the past few years, closing the lead on grapefruit’s fruit-of-the-moment status. IPA’s are often the drug of choice for the pineapple craze, but the tentacles of…
Lemon Beer Party Cake with Rum Lime Whipped Cream I’m supposed to sit here and write about a cake when all I want to do is cry. I’m supposed to sit here and write about a cake when people are dead for terrible reasons. I’m supposed to sit here and write about a cake when my…
Beer S’Mores: Stout Chocolate Bar and Belgian Ale Marshmallows There are foods I only like for nostalgic reasons. Fritos and bean dip, Jello-cake with whipped cream frosting, Taco Bell. It reminds me of growing up, in a house with ten people, and meal time was more of a defrost-and-feed triage. S’mores has one foot in…
Gingerbread Ale Pudding with Beer Whipped Cream & Fall Beers for Non-Pumpkin People
Chocolate Stout Pudding with Beer Whipped Cream
Spiked Hot Chocolate with Salted Caramel Whipped Cream Jennifer was one of those people I admired right away. Her gorgeous photos, flawless recipes (she’s a trained chef), and she just seemed like someone I wanted to have a beer with. After we passed the obligatory blog-stalking-each-other period, we became friends. She’s someone who will give…
Grilled Apricot Saison Shortcakes with Ginger Mascarpone Whipped Cream I have to show my cards when the very glaring hole in my beer resume is revealed the moment I am forced to admit that I don’t brew. I’m not a brewer, I’m just here for the beer. I’ll stick to what I’m good at and…
