This week it was one of my friend’s birthdays, and to celebrate a couple of us planned a surprise birthday party for her. When I think of her, I think of the color lavender because she’s very warm and comforting. She also likes flowers, so I thought it would be fun to make an edible […]

I hope this cake will have him thinking of fresh brewed coffee. He eats pastries with coffee, so I tried to make this cake as healthy […]

Blueberries make the cake sweeter, less tart, but it is still equally fitting for breakfast or dessert. The greek yogurt and soymilk make this cake extra moist. See recipe here, and simply […]

A while ago, a friend of mine had the idea of making pipette cupcakes. It is probably the most brilliant science cooking idea I’ve tried, and I think these cupcakes are perfect for your next nerdy get together. What are pipette cupcakes? Or rather, what is a pipette doing on a cupcake? Well, in addition […]
