Valentine’s Gushing Heart Pops
Cake pops are the new rage—they’ve made their rounds on blogs and are popping up in Starbucks and on infomercials. Luckily, they’re fun and easy to make! I remember making cake pops about two years ago. When I brought them to parties, people would be amazed to see a piece of cake on a stick! Since they are still fairly new, I'm not surprised that there are still many people who have never heard of, or tasted, a cake pop. I made special... Read More ›

How to Make Red Velvet Cake

Quick Canelés

Quick Canelés
Canelés—the tiny cakes originating from the Bordeaux region of France—are unlike any other cake out there. A dark, caramelized exterior encrusts a dense, eggy, rum-infused interior in these magnificent (and addictive) two-bite wonders. They also happen to be hand-holdable and elegant, making them perfect for entertaining. Most recipes require a 3-day process of letting the batter rest to properly remove all air (which helps to elimin... Read More ›

Purple-rific Layer Cake
Its been a while since I thought about the color purple. I will proceed to date myself now.  The last time was in the late 80’s, with a little movie called Purple Rain, starring the artist formerly known as Prince. But that was a billion or so years ago, and I like to write about what interests you.  Now.  Purple cakes are apparently trending, sayeth the internet oracles.  And what does one find when one visits the party supply store in...

How to Make Angel Food Cake
For the lightest, moistest angel food cake that's perfectly sweet (but not too sweet), follow these basic guidelines. What makes angel food cake different from pound cake, sponge cake or other yellow cake? First of all, angel food cake is not a yellow cake. It's a white cake. That is, it only contains egg whites (and lots of them) but no egg yolks. The egg whites help give angel food cake its foamy meringue-type lift. In fact, one way you can... Read More ›

How to Make Pound Cake
If you know how to make pound cake, you know how to provide a delicious dessert on the fly. What's a pound cake? Despite what you may have heard, it's not a cake that will add a pound to your figure if you eat it. Nor is it a cake that weighs exactly one pound. Originally, pound cakes were quick-to-measure cakes in which the baker combined a pound of butter, a pound of sugar, a pound of flour and a pound of eggs. This was an extremely easy cake...

Easy Petit Fours
I can turn down a cupcake, biscotti or macaron, but never a petit four. Why? It’s a tiny cake, with wee little layers. . . who wouldn’t go crazy for one!  I have tried to make them myself at home many times, and always had difficulty with the fondant coating – in a few variations mine turned out lumpy, sticky, or messy - but never a gloriously glossy pastel sheath like those you see in cookbooks. Suffice it to say, I was ecstatic when... Read More ›
