Halloween: Part 1

This year I am challenging my self to create new Halloween themed foods and decor for my blog. It is my favorite holiday and allows for some awesome creativity. Halloween is two months away, which is the perfect time to start planning your party or gathering.👻😈

Here is a sneak preview of what is to come over the next few weeks...

Try not to eat the whole batch
The ultimate pumpkin spice macaron. I've worked on getting the right blend of spices and the right amount of pumpkin. It's going to blow your mind.

For the cookie lovers out there I wanted to give them something new too because cookie decorating is an art. However, I don't want people to feel limited by the designated Halloween cookie cutters this year. I want everyone to expand their horizon, so creative spins on how to use seemingly non-Halloween cookie cutters for your guests is sure to leave you the talk of the party.
Bet you didn't think all of these can be spooky too.
I've come up with some new ideas to please cookie makers from beginners to advanced, so everyone can do something new.

There is also a pastry themed goodie to look out for...

I haven't forgotten about the savory side. I've got something in the works at the moment that, should everything pan out, will be pretty awesome. Sweets are lovely, but it's always nice to get a little bread...break. (Shh, nobody noticed that little slip. It's okay.) I don't want to give too much away, but I will give you a hint: It has to do with a classic spooky-ish movie that became a cult classic; just don't say his name three times.

Be on the look-out for a new post every week-ish. (There is a lot of creativity here that needs to be harnessed, deconstructed, and the steps recorded, which is easier said than done.) I'm doing my best!

Since you're here: Leave me comment & show me your creations. I hope you find all of my goodies enjoyable. If you find my kitchen creations inspiring consider making a donation here so I can keep providing everyone with free, inspirational recipes.

Holy Profiteroles, Batman! Halloween Part 3

Holy Profiteroles, Batman! Back in May, I made choux pastry for the first time because I wanted to make eclairs for Mother’s Day. I think eclairs look very elegant, which was perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch. I mixed them, pipped them, and baked them only to be disappointed that there was no rise. I mean zero rise at all. I was left with finger-looking, oddly baked pastry; it was chewy and had no flavor. The only saving grace was a raspberry glaze I had made to go on top of them. At that moment, I was so glad that I had decided to make the eclairs a surprise because I didn’t want to show up with those gross looking things and try to pass them off as eclairs. I baked a lemon drizzle cake instead and used the raspberry glaze for the topping and all was well. (However, I still had a fresh batch of raspberry crème pâtissière in the fridge that I had no idea what to do with.) I was pretty convinced choux pastry was out of my reach until now. Since I challenged myself to create fall i...

White Chocolate, Caramel, and Coconut Chewy Cookies

This year everyone got baked goods as their Christmas gift. I wanted to make sure I gave everyone a variety of goodies and flavors, so I set out to create some new flavor combinations along the way. I know chocolate chip cookies are a great comfort cookie; they are classic, the balance of chocolate to cookie is inviting. Everything is wonderful. However, I wanted to expand the classic chocolate chip cookie and see what else could be done with it. Much like the brownie debate (are you a cakey brownie person or a fudgey brownie person? I'm more of a fudgey, chewy person myself!), there is also a cookie debate: Do you like your cookies crunchy and a bit firm, or chewy and a bit moist? These particular cookies, as you guessed from the title, are chewy. The edges crisp up a bit, but the center remains chewy and delightful. The inspiration for this cookie came from me scrounging around in my cupboard. I try to always have chocolate chips on hand because sometimes I want to bake cooki...
