Not the prettiest things I’ve baked, but these strawberry white chocolate chip yogurt oatmeal muffins taste amazing. Hot out of the oven, they kinda require the use of a fork when eating. omnomnom

Just made these for a party later today: chocolate cupcakes with mousse-like Nutella whipped cream filling and milk & white chocolate ganache

chocolate peanut butter cake redux

Remember that cake I made with my bff for Mom’s Day a few weeks back? Well, I made another one for my own family last week. It came out almost as delicious as the first—apparently our stores here in the SF Bay Area don’t carry the premium blend of cocoa powder that my friend and I used in NY—but I managed to somehow make this one look prettier, almost as pretty as the one pictured in the recipe, though my iPhone photos do this cake no justice. Anyway, this cake was a hit with my family, too. Yey hooray!

Note: I did not use all the sugar the recipe called for on the peanut butter icing, and it still came out super sweet.

Beautiful! And still not helping with the decisions for this weekend’s cupcake baking…

Love and Olive Oil  » Chocolate Olive Oil and Blood Orange Cupcakes

Do I want to do these for my grandpa’s going-away-again dinner? Or maybe Meyer lemon cupcakes with Nutella? Decisions, decisions.

Helvetica cookie cutters—not so sure the cookies would look amazing coming out of the oven, but I want these anyway.
