Caramel. Apple. Spice. Blondies. Do these scream fall or what?! I was questioning saving this recipe for later. Figured even though I’m obsessed with everything fall already, maybe other people are still enjoying the last rays of summer. Maybe they’re not ready for fall yet. But then I realized school’s are starting up again (if not already), college […]

Every year for one week, my family and I rent a beach house in Aptos, California. The first time I went to this house, I was just over a year and some of my favorite childhood memories are from the beach house. It’s this massive house that sleeps like 30 of us and has this […]

You’re probably tired of hearing about my excessive amount of tomatoes, but even after making salsa…I still have TONS! Every time I eat one I swear two more are ripe. I’m not complaining, I just needed to figure out something to do with them! If there’s one thing I love more than desserts, it’s pasta. […]

I know, I know. I’m wayyyy behind on the popsicle bandwagon. I tried making some rum and coke popsicles last summer and had such high hopes! Until they didn’t set up (note to self…don’t try making popsicles so strong you can get drunk off them…) and they just tasted…blah. I’m not sure if I didn’t have the […]

I. Love. Peach. Cobbler. It’s the best. As much as I love chocolate, peach cobbler may just be my favorite dessert! Maybe it’s because I only get to eat it a few times each year, it seems more special. When most people go camping they roast hot dogs or bbq. When we go camping…we eat things like […]

Aren’t these mini pie pans so cute?!? They were a gift from Grandma Vi and although she is technically not my grandma, I love her like one anyway. She sent them to me over a month ago and I know it’s a shame I haven’t used them until now but it’s just because I couldn’t decide […]

Come May 16th, I will be an official wedding cake baker. Because on May 16th my best friend is getting married and I am making her wedding cake! Am I nervous about making the cake, yes. Kind of freaking out about the cake, yes. Excited about being a wedding cake baker, yes! I’m just praying […]

As I mentioned in my last post, Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Muffins, I spent last week relaxing with my family at the beach house we rent every year in Aptos, California where we ate and drank more than usual. At least I did and that’s because my cousin made the most delicious strawberry drink I have ever […]

Thanksgiving is in a week guys. ONE week. Are you ready?? Personally I love Thanksgiving. It’s a very close second to Christmas in my book. I love all the food, spending time in the kitchen with my family and our tradition of watching our first Christmas movie of the season. It also helps that sometimes my birthday […]

First, thanks Aunt Paula and Mimi for this old-fashioned cake plate! Isn’t it so cute?! Antique shopping runs in the family and this was definitely a great find. Second, happy birthday Naiomi. My cousin Naiomi’s birthday was on Friday and we celebrated last night with this chocolate cake. And it did not disappoint! When I […]

Hi guys! Just a quick note to let you know: we made you a playlist! Yep…an end of summer playlist. Just for you. If you’ve been following the Simply Living girls (and you should be) you know they post a new playlist each month. Well, since Hannah is currently abroad, Suruchi asked if we would make […]

2 more days until September, which means it’s practically Fall. Of course, Starbucks has already started selling their Pumpkin Spice Lattes so if Starbucks ran the world, the best season/time of year is already upon us. Thank you, Starbs. Here at LDBaking, we love Fall and all things Fall related so please prepare yourselves as […]

In one day I got both a pumpkin spice latte and a passion tea lemonade.  My taste buds are so contradictory! I want the smells and the tastes of fall, yet I can’t quite get rid of summer and sunshine just yet. So here we are. Passion tea lemonade and a side of pumpkin bread. I’m […]

Can you believe it is December?? Where did the fall go?! We hope you had a great Thanksgiving weekend filled with family, friends and delicious food. This month tends to get hectic and busy, but giving back to others is a tradition we both strive to do more of during this time of year. If […]
