Tres Leches cake and Grandmotherly Advice I’m sitting on the kitchen floor sniffling. Why? This: Yup, that’s a stand mixer full of egg whites. And tears. It’s like a little meteorological freak storm front hitting a low pressure system of feelings in a metal bowl. Global warming is real and it just melted the polar … Continue reading
Mexican Hot Chocolate cupcakes and dating advice from The Oatmeal I saw this the other day on The Oatmeal and I thought “hey, that could be about me. I rock climb. I bake cookies. I’m gonna bake cookies shaped like ewoks.” I don’t really know what an ewok is. The google provided some direction. They’re … Continue reading
Long silences. They happen. Particularly with this blog. But I couldn’t bake things and blog about them! I was busy reconnecting with people I haven’t seen since, like, 2007! So now I’m reconnecting with you. And to make it even sweeter, I’m gonna ask you for a favor. But since I’m in marketing, I’ll incentivize … Continue reading
Being a child of the 80’s, third wave feminism with it’s girl power anthems and roots of sex positivity (see: Madonna), didn’t really have an effect until post-wave radio replay of the early 90’s. I vaguely recall women scoffing at my stay at home mom while they raced off each morning in shoulder pads, Easy … Continue reading
Chances are, if you ask me to do something, like help with a project, climb a tree, or show up somewhere regardless of the hour, I’ll say yes. Maybe because I subscribed to #YOLO before that was a thing or maybe I don’t want to suffer from #FOMO, before or after or even if that … Continue reading
This is a love story, but first, context. As I mentioned in previous posts, Boozy Bakeshop was asked by Streetwater to cater Art=Mixx, an event sponsored by Flavorpill and HowAboutWe. I owe all of them a big, big thank you for the opportunity. Nothing more rewarding than seeing Boozy Bakeshop creations circulating amongst amazing works … Continue reading
If food is love, (and I believe it is), and if cookies are made with butter plus love, (exhibit A), then this recipe of heavy cream bourbon soaked butterscotch buttery goodness is like that smokin’ hot bearded guy saying “hey baby, let’s head down to the Rockaways on my motorcycle and get tacos”. Stop judging … Continue reading
Alternate title: Grey Meat Area I’m making candied bacon. Why? Because I can. And because I can’t think of anything better to use as a swizzle stick in a bourbonbacontini. And because this is a prime example of the fact that there are no bad decisions. Just decisions, and we roll with the results of … Continue reading
I don’t know what got me stuck on turning watermelon into hearts. I’m not normally that twee with my summer fruits. Gelled, these look a bit like toro; I like the idea of serving up a plate of raw simplicity – put it out there and see who digs in. A heart on a tray … Continue reading
I have been delinquent baker lately. Sunshine in NYC calls for bikes, beaches, BBQs and not baking. However, an exciting chance to work with Streetwater and provide some boozy treats for Art=Mixx, an evening of amazing art, meeting new people, cocktails, and live jazz, made me turn the oven back on. Last night, I crystallized … Continue reading
