I love lemon bars, but I rarely make them. Baking lemon bars tends to fall into that baking category of slightly more time consuming and a little bit more work. Squeezing lemons is also not the most enjoyable of baking tasks, but it is great for discovering small paper cuts and there is always that…

Cloud 9 Brownies
Today I am sharing with you a closely guarded recipe – the recipe for the brownies that I have been baking for Cloud 9 Caterers. I have been perfecting and refining this recipe for the past year, and I think I finally have it down. Ingredients: 1 cup (1/2 lb) Butter 15 oz Bittersweet Chocolate…

This led me into thinking about other creamy desserts which in turn led me to…….
Gingerbread
I was not able to get my gingerbread fix over Christmas due to the dozens of cookies still hanging around, so I made sure to ring in of the New Year with this seasonal treat. For me a good gingerbread needs to be moist, heavily spiced, and served with a contrasting set of flavors to…
