Here I will commence the Butterless Baking Challenge. Why did I take on this challenge? Because I need to get rid of the baking ingredients in my cupboard FAST before I start going on them by the handful. All my Christmas and New Years baking left me in this hole, and the world around me will benefit [...]

Chocolate Truffles

When I was little, my mom used to always make these in her cooking classes. I’m very surprised that she had the stomach for it, because the kids would always keep the chocolate in their hands too long, which lead to melted chocolate on their hands, faces, clothes and then onto my mom’s hands, face, [...]

When I hear sheet cake, I have these weird flashbacks to terrible 80′s movies and decorations that are reminiscent of the cakes on Cake Wrecks (see link on sidebar). They are usually ugly, from Food Emporium, and are as dry as George Carlin’s humor. However, this cake is different. Real Different. Commence drooling. The Best [...]

I’m a klutz. I have always been ready and willing to admit I’m a klutz. I never learned how to crawl as a kid and it took me until I was 15 months old to learn how to walk. My parents were so afraid of my lack of coordination that they enrolled me in dance lessons [...]

Have you ever had a recipe that feels like family? I have been making this tart since I was competent enough to follow directions. There’s a picture on the http://twofacedchef.com/about-the-author/ page of me making this tart during my “Jack White I’m Continuously in Awkward Phases” phase. I brought it recently to a gathering of Rico’s family [...]

::Throws dust on fire:: and now for the tale of the transforming chocolates…… OK, PLEASE tell me at least one of you have seen Are You Afraid of the Dark? For all of you non-watchers, it was a show on Nickelodeon that still haunts me to this day. Basically, a bunch of kids would sit [...]
White Chocolate Surprise Bark

The best part of Halloween is the trick. April Fool’s is pretty big in my family also, including crank calls and hiding in each other’s cars. However, between my friends and me, Halloween is the time for true trickery. I’ve been silly stringed, pied, even attacked by gentlemen in masks, who are actually people I should have [...]
My First Webisode! Halloween-Style

Please note before watching this video that: The camera decided to eat the distance between my 25 inch waist and the Surpremes. (Thank you Desperate Housewives!) I’m in my parent’s kitchen–home on vacation–hence why everything is so pretty. No, I will not post pictures from Halloween. I have dignity people. These are honestly very simple [...]
