Mini Hacker-Pschorr Cupcakes + Orange Cream Cheese Frosting

Hacker-Pschorr is my most favorite beer. To me, it tastes like ice cream. It’s a dessert on its own! Beer for dessert? Sure. Beer IN a cupcakes for dessert WITH a beer? Even better. My friend, Alex, loves this beer as much as I do, and it was his birthday over the weekend! So you better believe I made these and brought them out to the bar. We totally drank tall boy beers with them.…

Triple Chocolate Scones with Orange Icing

I have holes in the right elbow of most of my sweaters. I’m pretty much a ragamuffin because I keep wearing hole-y things. I suppose the only thing to do to avoid my elbow drama is to make scones. These scones will distract you from your ragamuffin ways and get your focus more on things like how to eat breakfast in a brownie outfit. Heart-shaped scones are totally encouraged all year. But since Valentine’s Day…

Fruity Boozy Ice Cream Floats

If you want to impress your dog bake him these treats. If you want to impress your bread, make this jam. If you want to impress your sisters, make strawberry infused vodka and orange creamsicle ice cream floats. My sisters aren’t my neighbors. One lives in Illinois, the other lives in Minnesota. So when I knew these two lovely ladies were going to stay with me this weekend, I knew I needed to get girly with…

Cardamom Orange Palmiers

These cookies are a breeze, and they look like a swirly-twirly “B”. I brought these into work and some people said they tasted like elephant ears (the tasty carni’ food). And others said they tasted like Trix cereal. Don’t bother telling that rabbit. I don’t want to be hassled my whole life. Either way, I want to snack on them for life. Cardamom and orange are best friends. These cookies just further prove it! You…

Dark Chocolate Orange Scones

This is my second time making these scones since Thursday. I think I have a problem. And that’s not the only problem I have. Turns out that I like to eat these despite having just eaten breakfast or lunch. Just know that these are nap-inducing if eaten when full. I know from experience. It’s just that I have a weakness for scones that are freckled with super dark chocolate and taste heavenly. Girl can’t help…

Lemon Remix Bars

I’m not a rule follower. Betty Crocker says to allow these to cool for a whole hour after baking. I ate one 15 minutes into that hour, and I don’t even care. Take that, Betty. These guys are 2/3 lemon + 1/3 orange, and rumor has it they can convert even the lemon bar haters out there. Jacob went from a hater to a participator. Believe it. Lemon Remix Bars Recipe adapted from Betty Crocker…

Raspberry Orange Mini Muffins with Pink Icing

PLEASE NOTE: I’ve remade/photographed these since. For the updated post click HERE. My first favorite thing about these muffins is how the raspberries turn the icing pink and my second favorite thing is the way the raspberries are a surprise when you bite into these. The deliciousness is understood. These are pretty much cupcakes, that I’ve decided to call a muffins for breakfast’s sake. They seem like the kind of breakfast cake that should be served…

Orange Poppy Seed Scones with Orange Icing

Don’t be fooled by the poppy seeds these scones got, they’re still orange from the block. They’re not better than you. They’re not pretentious. They are just simply orange and deliciously refreshing. I happen to love orange! …orange flavored pasteries that is. Not when people say I have orange hair. My hair is red. Thank you very much. This is a remix of the chocolate chip scones I made last week. It just goes to…
