Ah, yes…junky treats. We all know them. They’re the ones with Funfetti cake mix, chopped up candy bars, and marshmallows. Those items have a list of ingredients a mile long, and go into recipes that claim to have only 3 (cake mix counts as “1” ingredient). We generally avoid those recipes, because frequently they aren’t…

Lemon Sugar Cookies
We are both total lemon lovers. Out there in the world, there are the Nutella-obsessed, chocolate obsessed, berry obsessed, vanilla obsessed, caramel obsessed, and of course those of us who just love lemon. Now, we both like any flavor in desserts, as long as the product just tastes good, but for a refreshing treat that…
Strawberry Cheesecake Macarons
Both of us love cheesecake; in our opinion, it’s one of the best desserts ever- a buttery graham cracker crust, a smooth, creamy filling, and if we’re lucky, a strawberry or cherry sauce on top. However, we have only made it once because it’s just a little bit unhealthy and requires a lot of ingredients….
Sour Cream Coffee Cake
When we were younger, we (especially Celine) loved Starbucks’ crumb cake. Who could blame us? It was a yellow cake topped with a thick layer of crumb topping and powdered sugar. While we don’t really eat baked goods from Starbucks too frequently anymore, we did want to make some coffee cake. This recipe isn’t really…
Brownies with Salted Peanut Butter Frosting
We’ve mentioned our Latin class before, when we made these pumpkin cupcakes. However, we didn’t mention that our class really loves food and to bring in treats for everyone. Hey, in the words of one of our friends, just call Latin class AP lunch! Don’t worry, we do work in that class too, like read…
Blackberry Pie Bars
There are sometimes recipes that we see, are immediately inspired to make, and miraculously have all the ingredients on hand. This was one of those happy occasions! We didn’t do any baking all week since we are cutting back a little bit before our trip to California that is coming up (more information underneath the…
Mint Brownies
These brownies are possibly the best you will ever eat, unless you have an ardent hatred for mint! The ganache and the mint frosting (or “mint ice cream,” according to our 7-year-old little brother. We didn’t correct him because it was too funny!) make an almost melt-in-your-mouth topping for the fudgy brownie underneath. Basically, these…
Baby Bluebird Cupcakes
Happy almost Easter, everyone! Sorry we haven’t shared any spring-related recipes prior to this; we’re not very good about planning ahead so we generally do any holiday baking on, or the day before, the holiday. But we do have these to share, and they are quite possibly the cutest cupcakes ever (or at least the…
Coconut Cream Pie
Right now, you are looking at one of the best pies ever: coconut cream pie. All pies are good, especially cream ones, but this one really takes the cake (or pie…) in our opinion. Honestly, how can you say no to a crispy, buttery crust filled with an addictive coconut- vanilla bean filling, a cloud…
Vanilla Bean Marshmallows
Believe it or not, neither of us like plain marshmallows! Some of you may be shocked by that, but there’s something about the slightly rubbery texture that’s off-putting. We sure like rice crispy treats (who doesn’t?) because they’re chewy, crispy, and sweet all in one bite- basically perfection. Well, these are the kind of marshmallows…
