Recipe Round-Up (More than a little delayed…)

hey there, Bakers Anonymous family. Umm. This is typically a Saturday event, but I was a tad bit busy. You see …

MY BEST FRIEND GOT ENGAGED! WEEEEEEEE.

I’m more than excited for her (freakin’ thrilled really), and cannot wait to start planning the wedding (I mean, helping to plan the wedding. Check my sweet wedding planning Pinterest board. I have refused to start one for myself because I think it’s ridiculous to plan non-existent weddings. But that’s just me).

So I was a tad bit distracted. And then there was her graduation party. And then there was Freelance Work Sunday.

And now there’s regular work Monday. But guess what? I found all of these awesome brownie-related recipes.

Confessions of a Cookbook Queen made these amazing brownie truffles using pantry staples! And it’s no-bake. With the crazy, million degree-weather we’ve been having lately, why try to bake anything?

Ever heard of brownie batter bark? Well, now you have, AND you have the awesome recipe courtesy of Cookies & Cups.

If you’re looking to cool down, try these brownie sundae bonbons from Bakerella. She uses a delicious (but small) scoop of ice cream in the center and tops it off with a brownie. Keep these in your freezer for an instant bite of happiness.

A great dish to serve at your summer parties would be these Rolo brownie trifles. Layers of ice cream, brownies and the chocolate-caramel confection named Rolos combine to create the perfect warm-weather treat from Bakingdom.

And if you are in the mood for some baking, try Bakers Royale’s brownie sandwich cookies (with salted caramel creme filling!). Chewy brownies plus a simple creme filling make for a tasty, hand-held treat.

Stay tuned for our regularly scheduled Wednesday update!

Saturday Recipe Round-up, Week 5

Good afternoon, Bakers Anonymous family! It’s Saturday, but more importantly, it’s my Grammy’s birthday. Happy birthday Grammy! You’re awesome.

In honor of her, and tomorrow’s holiday (Mother’s Day, in case you forgot), here are five of my favorite posts featuring delicious treats to make for the mother (or mother-figure, Lord knows I’ve got lots of those, too) in your life.

Usually I don’t post recipes from big company websites like Pillsbury or Hershey’s, but this Chocolate-covered Oreo cake couldn’t be passed up. Many thanks to Lindsay from the berteau life for sharing this with the whole world. I really want to make this cake as soon as possible. I’m so serious about this.

Bakerella, ever the inspiration, created this Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana pudding, made extra special through the use of jars, ribbon and a nifty paper cutter. Now, if only I could find some cute little jars just like she used.

Bakers Royale threw down with the very spring appropriate Strawberry Shortcake Bars. Not only are the bright pink (natural coloring people, no worries), but they are also coated in the perfect streusel topping! I think I want to take that topping and eating it on its own. For realsies.

Need more strawberry? Because I know I do. And let’s add in some chocolate chips, okay? All that goodness equals Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cake from Eat at Home Cooks. From the perfect strawberry icing to the sweet chocolate chips, this cake is sure to be a winner.

And for the final recipe share, more strawberry! (I’m sensing that summer is coming soon) Confessions of a Cookbook Queen made these luxurious Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes with homemade strawberry filling on top. Pretty and light? Yes, please.

Saturday Recipe Round-up

It’s Saturday again, and what a week this has been! I’m stressed out to the max with my job search (who isn’t these days?) and the work that I’m currently doing at my office. It’s commencement season, which means lots and lots of invitations, certificates, programs and more.

Oh. And the clients want everything by next week.

Yay.

So, to calm down, I dug up some delicious recipes to share with you. Let’s see what I uncovered, eh?

Confessions of a Cookbook Queen has stolen my heart, once again, with her recipe for Devil’s Food Mini Donuts. Not only does it require NO frying (I really do hate heating up a pan of oil. Ew), but it also comes with a sweet chocolate frosting!

As usual, Alaska Mom made a beautiful new treat this week, Chewy Coconut Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars. He recipe titles are even longer than mine! And you knew I was going to feature this bar recipe once I saw the word, “coconut,” in the title.

One of these days, the weather will warm up again, and I will make these classic ice cream sandwiches from Smitten Kitchen, one of the most classy blogging ladies I know. Who doesn’t want homemade ice cream sandwich cookies? I mean, aren’t those the most delicious cookies ever?

Ah, Bakerella. Her amazing decorating techniques never fail to amaze, and her creativity was spent this week on easy little panda cupcakes. The use of chocolate chips and sprinkles are such simple ideas that I wonder why I didn’t think of it before?

And this week’s piece de resistance is something I found trending on Pinterest: Cinco de Mayo pinata cookies from SheKnows. I was absolutely stunned at the sight of these beautiful and original treats. I can’t wait to find the time to make them!

Early summer favorites

I’m back in the food blogging world, and it seems like everyone has been keeping busy in my absence. There are a ton of new recipes to check out, with me eagerly looking at each one as a possibility.

This strawberry cheesecake tart from A Recipe a Day is super simple and an excellent way to make use of one of the most perfect summer fruits: strawberries!

One of my most favorite food bloggers, At Home in Alaska, came up with the perfectly divine combination of cream cheese, strawberries, and chocolate in her latest pound cake recipe. There’s nothing like the dynamic duo of chocolate and strawberries on top of cake!

A simplistic cheesecake recipe is jazzed up with simple jelly and a white chocolate squiggle in Bakerella’s latest post. It gives me comfort to know that even the professionals get cracks in their cheesecakes.

After many months of watching and waiting, the infamous Chockylit has finally posted again on her blog Cupcake Bakeshop. Readers are awarded with a grape cupcake recipe, as unusualness seems to be her speciality.

These tiny jasmine cakes from Dessert First look exceptionally beautiful and delicate. Using flower essences is something that I’m not fond of, but I can’t resist this as a birthday cake option!

I <3 cuppycakes lastest recipe is based off of a fast food place I’ll never be able to go to because Jack-in-the-Boxes don’t exist in New Jersey. Hey, I was happy enough to finally get a Sonic. Her burger cupcakes are a sweet take on the old classic cheeseburger cookies.

~Enjoy!

A hot weather note and some favorites

The weather has been fluctuating so much this week that my poor dry-skinned arms don’t know how to react. Besides that, I haven’t even wanted to think about my oven, let alone touch it. In lieu of me presenting you with new recipes, let’s check out what my fellow food bloggers have done this week!

At Home in Alaska did another copycat recipe this week, Mrs. Fields Cinnamon Sugar Cookies. I don’t think I’ve seen such perfectly round cookies with that delicious brown color in a loooooong time.

I love doughnuts. I really do. The local Dunkin Donuts, unfortunately, is all the way down on Delsea, too far for me to walk. Bakerella‘s doughnuts, on the other hand, look all pretty with their hand-dipped frosting. I wish could fry things in my apartment without stinking everything up.

Simple ingredients make up the delicious Coconut Almond Granola featured on Baking Bites. A tasty treat that takes one hour to make!

I don’t think I’ve seen such a beautiful cheesecake that wasn’t in stores, but Barbara Bakes takes the cake with her vanilla bean cheesecake. You can almost smell the deliciousness through the computer screen.

Kix cereal makes a cookie comeback in these treats by Cookie Madness. Unfortunately, the only cereal I have on my shelf at the moment is cornflakes, and I’m not really in the mood to make cornflake cookies. Again.

Ranch rugelach may sound a little strange, but trust me, when you check out the recipe on the Smitten Kitchen website, you’ll be excited to make them yourself!

~Enjoy!
