There is something about browning butter that adds a deeper richness and flavor to a baked good. By browning the butter in this glaze, you cut some of the sweetness of the powdered sugar, with a deep richness in the butter. Plus, it gives the most aesthetically pleasing little specs that pair well with your favorite spice cake, chocolate cake, or really any treat.

This cake is a mouthful, in many ways. I’ve been dying to try my hand at an olive oil cake so when thinking out my plan of [dessert] attack, I kept thinking back to the crepe suzettes we made in pastry school. So I thought, why don’t I inspire a cake from it? Thus, an orange olive oil cake topped with caramel (but ya girl needs a proper frosting or glaze so the brown butter cream cheese adds the perfect layer in between).

In my opinion, rosemary is an underutilized flavor in pastry. It adds such a delicious depth of flavor that pairs so well in things like shortbread or madeleines. Add a white chocolate shell and my god, we have a winner.

Almost every year, I make a bunny cake with my niece or nephew (sometimes both, if the chaos gods are at play). It’s a cute way to bring spring to your table and include the whole family in the flowery fun. 

You can mix and match flavors as you please, as well as toppings, to make your own edible, delicious rabbit.

This is my all-time favorite chocolate cake recipe. It’s a beautiful masterpiece that is not too rich, super moist, and oh-so chocolatey. Paired with the vanilla buttercream it’s the perfect balance. Oh, and lots of sprinkles on top.

My go-to vanilla buttercream recipe for when the occasion requires (I mean, every day right?). It’s a classic that whips together in minutes, perfect for any cake or cookie, or just delivered straight on a spoon (with sprinkles of course).
