Garden-Theme Cupcakes for BHG!

Outside of the kitchen, I've never been much of a gardener. In fact I'm not sure I've successfully grown anything like, ever. Unless we're talking weeds and kiddos which I've done quiet well.

Caramel Coffee Macarons

Dear adorably delicious little french macaron, I owe you an apology. While I've always admired your sweet little delicate looks, crunchy shell, chewy inside, yummy filling, and adorably bubbly "feet" - I've been avoiding you. You see, in the bakingsphere, you tend to have a bit of a "high maintenance" reputation. And despite the fact that I took over 7 years of french, hold a lifelong dream ... [ read more... ]
