Banana Cake + Dulce De Leche + Brown Sugar Buttercream

I didn’t know what to say on this cake. I decided to follow my heart and just say what Rachel Zoe would say. This cake is bananas: B – A – N – A – N – A – S. Good thing I found more “A” cookies in the box, right? For a minute I was just using upside-down “V”s, and that’s just not classy. I figured that I should make those freckled bananas, casually lounging…

Dulce De Leche Duos

Sandwich cookies are a way to eat two cookies when you’d normally only allow yourself one. So there’s that. These cookies are so good you might want to just eat them as you sandwich them. I won’t judge you for that. I made half of the recipe below, so I ended up with about 15 duos. Did you know that half of 3/4 a cup is 6 tablespoons or a heaping 1/3 of a cup? I…

The base tastes like dough FO SHO. And there’s…

Alfajores

As a valentine, would this cookie work with a card that said “I’d alfajore like you to be my valentine.” Is that a stretch? I think that one of these in a cellophane bag is the just the thing to tell someone they’re bomb. I popped all of these (except for the sample cookie, obvz) in the freezer for a cookie emergency of the “Shucks, you’re the best!” variety. I think these cookies are cute…

Let’s make cake this Easter.

I love using holidays as a reason to make a layer cake, and these are four of my faves! Don’t worry too much about it being frosted perfectly, instead take the time to garnish it with cookie words, candied carrots, fruit, or almonds. It’s all about the garnish. 1. BANANA with Dulce De Leche & Brown Sugar Swiss Meringue Buttercream // Bananas feel like the coolest fruit ever in this layered hottie since they’re used to being…
