Cookie Confessions: June 2010
http://cookieconfession.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 2, 2010. The Girard Cake Challenge. While all of the other students were busy concentrating, we were the class clowns in the back, laughing at each others' heinous decorations and poor technique. Somehow, though, they let us graduate (we even have diplomas! And we proudly present to you our final assignment for your judging pleasure. We were required to have the following elements: at least one rose, stems, sweet pea flowers, leaves, a bow, and a shell border. Vote early, vote often.

Cookie Confessions: September 2010
http://cookieconfession.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Pumpkin {baguette} bread pudding. The addition of cloves or pumpkin pie spice would give this bread pudding a warm spicy flavor-unfortunately I didn't have either. However, if it's bread that you've run out of please let me know, I have PLENTY. Pumpkin Baguette Breading Pudding. 1 1/2 cups heavy cream/milk (I used 1 cup cream 1/2 cup milk). 3/4 cup canned pumpkin. 2 tbsp brown sugar (plus more for sprinkling). 2 eggs 1 yolk. 1 heaping tsp cinnamon (plus more for sprinkling).

Cookie Confessions: Mini Reindeer Cupcakes
http://cookieconfession.blogspot.com/2010/12/mini-reindeer-cupcakes.html
Thursday, December 16, 2010. I made these cupcakes specifically for my coworker's son Mason and his class. Mason is four-years-old, so I wanted to make something fun, but not too sugary (I can't even imagine a class full of children on a chocolate high). Of course, all of the reindeers are Rudolph, because he's the most famous reindeer of all. 24 mini vanilla cupcakes. 8 ounces milk chocolate. 24 Red Hots (or cinnamon dots). Posted by Cookie Confessions. December 30, 2010 at 12:02 PM. A CUP OF JO.

Cookie Confessions: March 2011
http://cookieconfession.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 15, 2011. For my resume started a job as a pastry assistant at a new restaurant. Whewwww, tough life, I know. So back to the goods. These buttermilk donuts were made around 12 am on a Friday night. A recipe that requires no yeast, no resting time lots of oil for frying - what could be a more perfect snack for that midnight hunger pain? Adapted from the Baked Explorations. 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 2 teaspoons baking powder. Make a wel...

Cookie Confessions: January 2011
http://cookieconfession.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 5, 2011. A new year brown butter shortbread. The holidays flew by as they usually do; after many parties, pastries, presents some painfully cold weather I made my way back to San Francisco. The new year has me excited for changes that are soon to come hopeful with plans for a successful happy future. I would like to take a moment to remind everyone not to cut sweets out of your life for a stupid New Year's resolution; chocolate, butter sugar make people happy. Victory for brown butter.

Cookie Confessions: crack pie.
http://cookieconfession.blogspot.com/2011/04/crack-pie.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. Tosi has supplied Bon Appetit magazine with a variation of her famed creation known as crack pie after I purchased a jumbo sized bag of dry milk powder (one of Tosi's favorite ingredients) I was ready make one of my own. It's buttery, gooey loaded with sugar. Essentially it's a the best pecan pie ever, on an oatmeal cookie crust, without pecans. From Christina Tosi via Bon Appetit. Nonstick vegetable oil spray. 5 1/2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar, divided. Using hands,...

Sunday, March 6, 2011. Caramel Apple-Pecan Pie (Yes, we're still baking). So, I'm sure a lot of you thought we had dropped off the face of the earth, or at least the Interwebs. Truthfully, we've all been really busy lately, but we shouldn't have neglected baking and blogging for so long. Krissy just graduated from pastry school, Katie's busy with her new job, and I just want to go on a diet. Especially if you're looking for a way to spice up your apple pie. Single pie crust recipe of your choice. Meanwhi...

Monday, March 29, 2010. Oh my banana cream pie. I think its safe to say that Spring has finally sprung. The sun is shining, the monotonous brown is starting to change (slowly) back to shades of green and the temperature is mild and enjoyable with a warming forecast. The city of Chicago waits for this time of year, its almost a celebration when one can spend an afternoon outside without having to thaw out their face and fingers afterwards. Topped with vanilla whipped cream. ohhhh my. 1/2 cup butter, melted.
