I've always been a fan of white chocolate. It's definitely sweeter than dark or semi-sweet, and paired with cherries it's truly a match made in heaven. I love the crinkled tops of these cookies, it just gives them a certain sexy, don't you think? I've been working a lot lately.
After my heart breaking moment of losing Tastespotting I am back and ready to blog. I found a new version of Tastespotting called Food Gawker thanks to HoneyB. And the format looks very similar, although I still miss my Tastespotting I hope that Food Gawker can fill the void.
Nothing says Valentine's Day like the iconic pink or red heart. These Valentine cupcakes are shaped like hearts and covered in white, pink and red frosting. What could be better? These Valentine cupcakes are easy too. You don't have to be a master baker to turn out something fun and festive.

So it's the last week of Summer (if you subscribe to the belief that after Labor Day, it just seems wrong to head to the beach). Yup, leave it to me to wait until the last second to decide to do something sensible like make the season's most appropriate dessert: Ice cream!
These Champagne Cupcakes are super moist and full of champagne flavor! They'd be perfect For New Year's Eve, or another special occasion. Well, this weekend was a great weekend.

I don't remember where I first heard of So when I saw that Caroline, of churros. Maybe it was from the Food Network or from one of the many blogs I read everyday, but these fried delicacies intrigued me. While searching for recipes, I noticed that making churros was a lot like making pâte à choux.
So if you haven't noticed yet, I'm a big fan of poke cakes. I love how easy they are and how they are soaked with yumminess and guaranteed to be moist for days. This Nutella Red Velvet Poke Cake is no exception.
