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 [...]

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 [...]

Playoff season is here. The only thing that excites me slightly more than my team making it to the post-season is the food that accompanies it.

 

It just so happens that Crock-Pot® came out with a new line of slow cookers. This theme is particularly appropriate:

I seriously slapped myself when I tried these. I expected them to taste good, but what the heck?!?! Warm, soft doughnuts coated in sugar and cinnamon. Filled with a hard apple cider cheesecake, creamy goodness. Spiked or virgin, however you like. What the heck.

 

After consuming these puffs of inconceivable [...]

Don’t ask me how or why I decided to do this. It had to happen.

 

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. (Mind you, the period was intentional as always. Not a question mark.)

It’s no joke this whole sprinkle fiasco. As a baker, I constantly hear and read about the sprinkle debate. Some tout them as pretty and fun. Others moan that they are narsty and insipid (at times referred to as “waxy”).

I consider sprinkles much [...]

As I grew up celebrating both sides [...]

1 Fine Cookie is out-of-control busy.

With Halloween orders, catering, cooking, and blogging, I contemplate running away and joining El Menudo.

 

 

That kid has some major cojones hitting on an older woman. Perhaps EL Menudo started the whole cougar thing. By the way, someone ( who happens to be older [...]

I’m certain I mentioned my mom several million times around Mother’s Day this year. I probably mentioned how awesome she is. I know, most people think their mom is awesome. But mine really is, even if she isn’t your mother.

 

 

That’s my mom. You [...]

I like things that come in cups. Well, either that or miniature, gigantic or on a stick. It cannot be average. That is the rule. I don’t know why, I just do. If you haven’t noticed yet, I like to make food in weird ways. “Manly” food is no [...]

I seriously think I have discovered something so atrociously delicious, that should you ever meet me in person I expect to be slapped in the face. Then immediately made out with. Unless you are ugly. Then just shake my hand.

 

I wanted to create something over the [...]
