Rainbow Cake

Every time I see a rainbow I make a wish…and I like to believe they always come true! But something tells me that the only wish I will need when I make this cake is to not devour the entire thing in one sitting! Get the recipe for this colorful layered cake here.

Coconut Doughnuts

I love everything about coconut so when I came across these coconut doughnuts on one of my favorite blogs Cannelle et Vanille, I knew they were much too scrumptious to keep to myself.   Such a sophisticated version of the coconut gems I loved as a child!

Fair food

Saveur’s mouthwatering slideshow of fair favorites captures the very best parts of carnivals and fairs for me – the food! Now I don’t have to wait until next summer to get my kettle corn, elephant ear, and funnel cake fix!

Strawberry and Balsamic Basil Soda

Today is the first official day of summer, and what better way to celebrate than with a delicious drink!  I saw this recipe for Strawberry and Balsamic Basil Soda on The Kitchn and can’t wait to try it out myself. I think I’ll take them on up on their suggestion of substituting prosecco for club soda!

American Cupcake

How is it that the cupcake trend has been going strong for over ten years now?  I’m always amazed… and am currently dying to check out the new American Cupcake in San Francisco.  Lynn from Paris Hotel Boutique told me she thought of me when she wrote this post.  Cotton candy cupcakes, bubblegum cupcakes…so up my alley!  {Lynn knows me well!}

Snickers Bar

I have noticed that my sweet tooth is kicking into overdrive lately. And the recent craving of choice…a Snickers bar. Something about the yummy perfection of caramel, peanuts and chocolate makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  {My childhood cat that I had for almost 10 years was even named Snickers!} When I stumbled upon this recipe on Cannelle et Vanille, I knew I MUST try it out!  Don’t you think that this grown-up version of my childhood favorite looks absolutely scrumptious?

“In Paris, everything looks like dessert”

As you may come to learn by some of my future posts, I am a complete Francophile.  I love all things French, but most of all I LOVE the desserts.  Macaroons, crème brulée, canele de Bordeaux…c’est délicieux!  So you can imagine how excited I was to come across the work of Susan Hochbaum.  She sees the beautiful city of Paris like the delicious French pastries .  For Susan, “in Paris, everything looks like dessert”.  We couldn’t agree more!
