We are Kelly and Stephanie! Two friends, living far apart, who share a love of baking. We actually share a love of many things including but not limited to: Starbucks, Mumford and Sons, running … [Read More…]

To say I’m a milkshake fan would be an understatement. A HUGE understatement. Growing up, some of my favorite memories of my grandparents include grabbing milkshakes and burgers at Smokey’s. They had the best chocolate milkshakes- you know the kind that come with the metal tin and are thick and creamy and heavenly. Ya, I […]

I’ve never been to Tennessee in my life, and now I’ve been there twice in three months! My sister Cassie and I decided on Nashville for our second annual Sister Vacation (Chicago was the first) and it did not disappoint. I didn’t go with too many expectations or have much on my to do list, […]

When I was in middle school there was a locally owned coffee shop across the street, Plantation Coffee, that we used to go to all the time, especially when my grandparents would pick us up. They had the best blueberry scones! In fact, I have yet to find a scone that was that good. Over […]

Coconut and chocolate- now that’s a winning combination right there! I’ve had a hankering for coconut desserts lately. Ever since I made these Haystack Energy Bites (which I’ve made 3 times in the last month and plan on making another batch this weekend…), I have been craving all things coconut. Coconut macaroons seemed like the obvious choice to […]

Guys, I’ve found a new favorite treat to eat by the spoonful. Sorry Nutella, move aside, this is now my go to addition to any baked treat. And soon, it will be yours too! Today I bring you Cinnamon Buttercream. As we have mentioned multiple times before, here at LDBaking we love Fall. And nothing […]

Cheers! I’m baaaack 🙂 Thank you, Steph, for holding down the fort and posting some amazing recipes! I was jealous that I could not make this Jalapeño Popper Dip for New Years. It’s seriously my favorite so if you haven’t done so yet, make it soon! If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you’ll have […]

About a month after the wedding, we spent a week in the Bahamas for our honeymoon. Which means yes, I’m almost two years behind writing this. I was just going to forget about it completely until I started looking back at the pictures and had so much fun reliving the trip, I had to share […]

Originally I had a road trip planned this spring to travel from Boise to Phoenix for a friend’s wedding, stopping at places like Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon and Sedona along the way. Well…then my boyfriend (at the time) got a new job, we got engaged, and instead of a road trip to Phoenix I […]

A couple of years ago for Christmas I received an adorable Cupcake Calendar. It was one of those daily desk calendars, and each day had a new cupcake recipe. The whole year I saved each recipe that caught my interest, with every intention of making them throughout the year. As you can probably guess, I […]

So when I went to Ireland, I not only fell in love with the country, the scenery and the people, but I also fell in love with a Hot Whiskey or a Hot Toddy as it is also called. And if you haven’t had one yet, you will too. I’m not a big tea drinker […]

We are Kelly and Stephanie! Two friends, living far apart, who share a love of baking. We actually share a love of many things including but not limited to: Starbucks, Mumford and Sons, running (some of the time), yoga (most of the time), wine, Shauna Niequist life quotes, anything with Nutella, Pinterest, a really good […]

Only one weekend into the NCAA tournament aaaaannddd my bracket is officially busted. Kelly’s too. We tried to be different and not pick Kentucky to win it all, but that clearly didn’t work out in our favor. Filling out brackets is a yearly tradition. I remember when we were little, Dad would print out brackets for […]

I don’t understand the red velvet craze but it seems every time someone mentions red velvet, eyes glaze and ears perk up. The first time I had red velvet was my first year living in LA and I had a bite of a red velvet cupcake from a popular LA cupcake spot. I was definitely […]
