1 Fine Cookie

3D Stand Mixer Cookies

Whenever I get a rare second to think (millisecond is more accurate), I think to myself how much my life has changed since I became a food blogger and freelancer food writer/photographer.

For example, I don’t have much free time (in case I didn’t make myself clear). Most of my fellow career food [...]

Sugar Isomalt Diamond Covered Cake, and Tips for Using Isomalt Sugar.

Jasmin — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 05:00:06 +0000

Last week, I created some purty little diamond covered cupcakes.

Oddly, I received more emails than usual. As in, a tidal wave of emails, with many questions. Peeps love me, want to be my friend. ‘Cuz I’m so popular and all…

So popular, in fact, that I hang out with my dog.

Cheesecake and white chocolate cake batter cupcakes. Covered in Edible Diamonds.

Jasmin — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 04:46:03 +0000

How did I come about these edible diamond covered cheesecake and white chocolate cake batter cupcakes? Well, let me tell you.

I’m currently laying in a bathtub of diamonds as I type this post. No, it doesn’t hurt.

Why? Because chicks love things that are unattainable and sparkle a lot. Like that glittering diamond vampire.

Copyright Issues, and Why They Cause a Lot of Drama, Mama. It’s all about R-E-S-P-E-C-T and props. Mad props.

Note: I do not claim to be an expert on this topic so excuse my inevitable flaw/typo. This is just what I know thus far in the field and how I perceive the issue. No attacking or evil shenanigans, please. Unless, of course, those evil shenanigans involve White Russians and Jason Bateman. Mmmmmm…

Why a post about copyright infringement on a [...]

Be My Bridesmaid Cookies. Saint Patrick’s Day Theme.

Jasmin — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 06:18:46 +0000

My pal Meg approached me last year about making “be my bride” cookies. I was impressed with the idea.

The thing that made these cookies so fun to make, is that Meg wanted them to have a Saint Patrick’s Day theme. Firstly, Saint Patrick’s Day is of the utmost importance in Boston. Meg [...]

Shamrock Shake Thin Mint Cookie Shooters. Virgin or Drunk, Hove.

My friend Jilly loves to cook. She posts her food photos on Facebook and such. Usually, when people do this I am like, “Nobody cares about your hot dog, fella,” but Jilly’s posts make me want to stop by her house à la Steve Urkel style.

Come running in uninvited, trip over the rug and [...]

Fossil Cake. Made with Cookies and Cream Crumb Batter. Archaeology is the New Literary Nerd.

Jasmin — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 07:58:26 +0000

Nerdiness is not what it used to be. It’s suddenly cool now. Why couldn’t this have happened earlier, like when I was in High School? Every page or social site you click on, there’s articles, GIF’s, and memes about how awestastic it is to read books. Suddenly, Star Trek is the cat’s meow.

Crème Brûlée Filled Raspberries. Hashtag That.

Jasmin — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:10:19 +0000

It was a struggle to have enough of these left at the end for the photographs. I started with two full cartons of raspberries.

To say they are a party in your mouth is an understatement. Crème brûlée raspberries are a keg party in your mouth. Except instead of beer, the keg is filled with [...]

Pretzel Heart Bouquets

Jasmin — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 20:28:58 +0000

I created this little project for those who have kids. This is cheap, easy, and a lot more creative than giving balloons or a box of chocolates (don’t even get me started on flowers). Make these as a project at home with the kids, or your own cute edible craft of love. I also envisioned these [...]

Mint Chocolate Chip Marshmallows

Jasmin — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 20:06:54 +0000

Do you ever obsess over a food flavor that isn’t exactly the most popular? It’s safe to say most people love (obsess) over chocolate ice.

When I come out with any recipe that involves chocolate, it’s like a million tween girls finding out Justin Beiber just Tweeted.

Add that [...]
