Just as a public service to anyone out there who might not know, fall does not begin for a couple more weeks- unless you live in the southern hemisphere. Summer produce is still lingering, and at least during the day, it has been pretty warm. So, to celebrate the coming end of summer, we made…

Banana Cake with Brown Butter Icing
This cake may not look like much, but it’s one of the best cakes ever. We’ve been making this banana cake for a while, and usually top it with cream cheese or chocolate frosting, but this time, we made a quick brown butter frosting and it was amazing! (Side note: I just realized we’ve never…
Peach Crumble Ice Cream
Are there any fruits that you just don’t like? For me (Leah) it would be honeydew, cantaloupe, and figs. We made a really promising looking fig cake the other day, and both of us decided we did not like them. They tasted sort of earthy, although not a nice kind of earthy. Sort of like…
Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake
Let me start off by saying that there is nothing that I love in the dessert world more than a warm chocolate chip cookie. But chocolate as a whole? I just don’t love it the way some people do. It’s good, of course, and I would never pass up a chocolate dessert, but I have…
Cannoli Ice Cream
Hello everyone! I know we just posted a frozen dessert on Wednesday, but this ice cream had to be posted. You will understand why if you make it! Cannoli are our favorite Italian pastry, without a doubt, and one of our favorite desserts. Isgro Pastries in Philadelphia is our favorite place to buy them. Their…
Watermelon Lime Granita
I don’t know about you, but where we live it has not been a hot and sunny summer! We’ve had quite a few humid and rainy days, scattered in with some nice weather, but it’s been 90 degrees only a couple days in the past month or two. So honestly, there has not been so…
White Chocolate Pudding with Strawberry Curd
While pudding is a year-round dessert, this pudding is definitely perfect for summer! The strawberry curd on top of this pudding is like nothing I’ve ever had before, yet it somehow has the familiar texture and faint flavor of lemon curd. It is unbelievably good! The curd would go nicely inside a cupcake, drizzled over…
Peanut Butter Ice Cream
For some reason I have been on a peanut butter kick lately. Maybe it’s due to all the peanut butter sandwiches that we ate in Camden. Anyway, I have been craving peanut butter milkshakes (we made some, and they were so awesome that we’ll blog about them at some point), Reese’s cups, the amazing salted…
Raspberry Black and White Cake
This cake is a miracle, and I will tell you why. We had grand plans of making a raspberry mousse filling but ended up with chocolate sour cream frosting. This was unintentional. See, the whipped cream was stabilized with gelatin, which never thickened properly. We went along with the directions, however, but after only a…
Double Cookie Dough Ice Cream
What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? I like pretty much all flavors, and it usually depends on where my ice cream is from, but I consistently love coffee and mint chocolate chip- not together, of course! Cookie dough has never really been my favorite flavor. It’s good, but it has always seemed a…
