Skip to Recipe For this month’s meeting of the South Florida Baking Club, I decided on “Flowers and Chocolate” as the theme. Basically, your creation should incorporate flowers or chocolate. Since I’m a little nuts, I decided to do BOTH. And, before realizing how I had shot myself in the foot with that idea, these
Skip to Recipe After last week’s Halloween shenanigans, I had some leftover raspberry sauce. Now, I hate letting stuff go to waste, even if it’s just a tiny bit of raspberry sauce. I considered pouring it over ice cream, but I had all of that white chocolate left over from my failed attempts at white
Halloween is finally here! And, for the first time in a while, I REALLY got into the Halloween spirit. My job organizes a Halloween bake-off every year. For the first time, I decided to enter. I’m usually not the creative/artsy type when it comes to sweets, but I decided to challenge myself. Pictured below is

I’m pretty happy with the results of this current iteration of mango pastry cream. My friends and family must agree, because I got
Skip to Recipe Mango creme brulee is a Mango Madness staple, and I have been making it since I first started experimenting with mango a few years ago. Since I was getting so many mangoes anyway, I decided to try adapting the recipe to make in my Instant Pot electric pressure cooker. It took a
Skip to Recipe Mango Season is on FIRE, and the season just getting started. My usual mango suppliers have been extra generous with me this season, and I make sure that their mangoes do not go to waste. Some of the fruits get eaten as-is. Other mangoes get sliced or chopped and used in
Skip to Recipe It has been raining nonstop here in South Florida for the past 2 weeks or so. The upside to this rain is that it has been knocking the mangoes out of trees prematurely, which means that mango season has started a little early this year. My friends and my coworkers have all
