Happy hump day! Know what your Wednesday needs? A little sparkle. A little confetti. Maybe a few sprinkles. These cookies came about when I was brainstorming babysitting activities. There’s a little cutie in my life and I was going to be watching her one night and putting her to bed. I’m not usually there for her […]
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The holidays are always my favorite time of year! Here at Long Distance Baking, we love Christmas. We love it so much in fact, that we’ve been known to listen to Christmas music a couple times throughout the year. Every summer vacation needs at least one listen […]
For the past few months, my fiancé Matt has been asking me to make “black and white cookies, you know…like at the grocery store!” With a description like that, I know you’ll be surprised to hear I had no idea what he was talking about. Not to worry though, his mom went to their local […]
Another Friday is here! Hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend!
I avoided sweet potatoes like the plague when I was younger. I couldn’t get past the marshmallow topping and the orange color. They just weren’t for me. That was until my cousin transformed them into an AMAZING dessert. Or side dish. Really it could go both ways. We had a pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving dinner with my […]
It’s no secret that I am on a quest for the best chocolate chip cookie recipe there is. (You can read about my two previous posts regarding the subject here and here.) For a quick recap, I’ve made it one of my life’s missions to perfect the chocolate chip cookie and I have been on […]
It’s December 8th. The Reed Wedding is on May 16th. Today I decided that I really needed to increase my wedding cake practice. Because I’m obviously running out of time… Today I went Christmas shopping. However, I did not buy any gifts. Instead, I bought cake decorating supplies for myself. I promise I’m not a […]
If I could live on pasta salad, I would. I practically do in the summer. There are weeks when I eat it for lunch, dinner and all the snacks in between. Sometimes even without a bowl, just straight from the fridge with a fork. It’s ok, my roommate doesn’t judge because she does the same […]
I warned you, didn’t I? Summer = all peach everything around here. But summer also means hurricane season and this one is already a doozy. Living in Louisiana we were lucky to be far enough north hurricanes weren’t really a concern, but you have never truly seen a storm until you have seen a storm […]
Happy Thanksgiving! We hope your day is filled with family, friends, and food! Now officially begins the holiday season and it is universally accepted to listen to Christmas music (even though we’ve both been doing that for months). When taking a moment to reflect, we are both beyond blessed by having so much to be […]
Tis the season for pies! Am I right? I hosted Thanksgiving this year and made three pies (for only 7 people…). That’s almost half a pie per person! With that much pie eating you need a little variety. I have a super easy pie dough recipe that I use for the majority of my pies, but […]
Well, it’s official. I have finally visited Yosemite and it’s only taken me 24 years. It’s about time! See, I live in California. Born in Sacramento, raised in Elk Grove, went to school in Davis and Los Angeles, and now back in Elk Grove. I’ve traveled all across the United States (the only states I haven’t […]
My favorite pie has always been pumpkin, that’s just the way it is. Maybe it’s because it is so easy to make it was always my Thanksgiving task (along with waldorf salad). Or maybe because it’s just plain delicious. And while I don’t think anything… While making more technical, impressive looking desserts can be fun, […]
