Chocolate Chip Banoffee Cake with Caramel Buttercream (Vegan)
Happy Friday peoples! It’s weekend time and that means bring it! Bring on the tons of sugar, and the truckloads of chocolate, and the vats of caramel, and the mountains of frosting….. Oh, and if it could all be in the form of a cake that would be awesome! I’m kinda freaking out a little bit here. I so many things to plan for and so many things I want to make, but I feel like I’m almost more unorganized at this moment then I’ve ever been. I made it a new years resolution at the beginning of this year to get things together, but apparently I wasn’t very resolute about my resolution…

Twinkie Clone Doughnuts (Vegan)
I’m going to be completely honest and admit it took me a lot of tries before I found the perfect frosting consistency that I wanted. Okay, but to get to the point here, Twinkie clone doughnuts. I’m sorry, let me repeat myself, Twinkie clone DOUHGNUTS! Yes!!!!! I think I missed my opportune window for Twinkie recipes when everyone was freaking out about Hostess going out of business and saying things like “we’ll never be able to eat them again!” I heard about people making hundreds of dollars per box on ebay. Who would pay that? People can be so ridiculous, right? So, I can only recall eating like two or three Twinkie in my…

Lavender Vanilla Bean French Beignets (Vegan)
These beignets are officially the best beignets ever! Okay, that’s being a little dramatic, but it’s ridiculous how delicious they are if you love the flavors of vanilla and lavender together. These are a delightful twist on the classic beignet, offering a unique and indulgent flavor experience. The infusion of fragrant lavender and rich vanilla bean not only adds a touch of sophistication but also elevates the overall taste profile. The lavender imparts a subtle floral note, complemented by the warmth of vanilla, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that dance on the palate. Perfectly fried to golden perfection, these beignets captivate with their heavenly aroma and irresistible taste, making them a delectable…

Black Sesame Cupcakes (Vegan)[Try the Gray Stuff It’s Delicious]
……don’t believe me, ask the dishes! They can sing, they can….okay somebody stop me before I sing the whole song. I don’t expect a lot of you guys to know this, but black sesame is sort of a fad right now. I’ve tried to keep my curiosity at bay for a while, but I finally had to try it and see what all of the hype was about because I just didn’t get it. I get it now, black sesame is the bomb you guys! I mean, you’d think it’s going to taste weird or gross, but then it doesn’t. It gives this depth of nutty-ishness (my new word of the day) that…

Caramel Pear Swirled Streusel Babka
My internet is down at the present moment and so I’m writing this out the old fashioned with pen and paper. I’ll type it out later to post (which, if you’re reading it now I have obviously done already). As I’m writing it though, I’m realizing that I need to write like this more often because I much prefer it to typing. Mostly that’s because I’m a terrible typer, but also because it feels so much more personal. It’s like the difference between talking to someone in person versus by email or text. It’s real and tangible, I love that. I know I’ll sound like a broken record here, because I’ve already told you…

Crud Muffins……They’re a Thing (Vegan)
So, this post is proof that my older sister and I should never put our heads together on things like this. Haha, we were talking a while ago, about what I should create next, and during our conversation she dropped something on the floor and said “Crud muffins!”. And that was it, we decided then and there that I had to make them. Of course, this then posed the question of, what exactly is a crud muffin? So I’ve been thinking about it and I finally realized that a crud muffin should be a recipe that you use to help clear out the “crud” in your kitchen that has no other particular usage.…

Chocolate Chip Fluffernutter Stuffed French Toast (Vegan)
Ladies and gentlemen….what you are about to see is real! Yesterday I was feeling like a bad influence with all of my, as I like to call them, “sugar-coma recipes”. My remorse lasted for all of about 5 minutes until I came to my senses and remembered everything on my sweet to-make list. Now that I got that whole healthy salad thing out of the way, it’s time for the weekend and, as I promised yesterday, I’m bringin’ it! My inner mad scientist side was in full gear yesterday and I created something that should probably not even be legal. Enter: Chocolate Chip Fluffernutter Stuffed French Toast! So for those of you who are faint…
