  • chocolate crinkles

    I haven’t made chocolate crinkles in years, and I have no idea why not. They’re freaking delicious bites of chocolatey goodness, basically cake in cookie form, with powdered sugar “frosting” to boot. This recipe pretty much inspired me to buy 5 more pounds of Valrhona cocoa powder “just in case” – whatever that means. I’ve… Read more

  • gingerbread cookies

    Ok obviously a few weeks late, but this can still be a reference for next year, right? ‘Tis the season to-eat-cookies, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la! We had a tradition of making unfrosted gingerbread cookies when I was younger; the taste of these is very similar, but without the need to chill the dough. Much more convenient… Read more

  • mocha cookie cake

    There really should probably be a category here called “Variations on my favorite chocolate cake recipe” because it’d probably filter half the recipes away. NO SHAME. I love that cake and I would do anything for it. Read more

  • yellow cake with chocolate buttercream (no recipe)

    I made this cake for Josh a few monthns ago! I have some notes, but no full recipe since it was not perfection imo. Read more

  • oatmeal everything cookies

    I had to make these cookies twice in two weeks because I accidentally ate them all before Stanley had a chance to try them, and I felt bad (read: wanted to eat more also) so I made them again. 🙂 Absolutely no complaints. I have a feeling these’ll be on my regular rotation from now… Read more

  • marshmallows

    Ok, with this new experience I can officially define a marshmallow to be 80% texture, 10% flavor, and 10% flavor-of-the-powdered-sugar-coating. I tried a bit of the goopy mess before it dried out, and it was not delicious. Tasted like plastic. But somehow, magically, after drying out overnight and getting coated in powdered sugar, I am… Read more

  • blueberry bourbon basil whipped cream frosting

    Longest blog post title ever, but there’s not really a simpler description for this cake I made for Rose’s birthday this year. Which obviously dates this post to basically two months delayed, but um, better late than never? This was definitely one of my best cakes of the year. Look at that beautiful lavender color… Read more

  • junior’s cheesecake

    Well, to be more specific: Junior’s White Chocolate & Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake with Junior’s Sponge Cake Crust. This is the longest recipe I’ve logged on Butter.City so far. It’s probably the longest a recipe can be in its entirety before I lose interest and. I guess it didn’t help that I made the full portion… Read more

  • flourless s’more cake

    Ok, this was one of my best ideas in a long time. S’more cake!!! Really just a new assembly of existing recipe I have in the recipe box already. Flourless chocolate cake, marshmallow frosting, and toasted graham cracker crumbs. Deee-freaaking-LICIOUS. Read more

  • homemade oreo cookies

    I made some homemade Oreos to slowly prepare for a completely home made mud pie. One step at a time, you know. Read more
