Two posts in a row that involve peanut butter… yep, I’m on a PB kick. But then again, when am I not? My cousin is getting married in less than two weeks. We just celebrated her bachelorette party in Vegas at the end of May and let me tell you, nothing will encourage you to […]
While we did start this blog mainly for sharing our baking adventures, a lot happens in our lives outside of the kitchen! Kelly and I will each be posting a Monthly Musing to discuss…whatever we feel like! It could be book reviews, new music we’re listening to, a TV show we’re obsessed with…anything that’s been […]
Believe it or not but I have never made homemade sugar cookies before. I’ve decorated homemade sugar cookies as a kid and I’ve eaten a ton around the holidays, but I have never made them myself. This past weekend I decided it was time to change that. And what better way to frost homemade sugar […]
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 […]
I had a completely different post all ready for today, and then I made this focaccia bread last night. And I just had to share it! Had to. Sorry Citrus Spinach Smoothie…you just have to wait your turn. Today is focaccia bread’s time to shine. … [Read more…]
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 […]

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 […]

We took a few weeks off but we’re back with another Friday Finds! It’s hard to believe this is the last Friday in August! Hope you have a great weekend 🙂 Starbucks is finally introducing almond milk. Of course, we can’t enjoy it until our August Whole 30 challenge is over… These 90s snacks bring […]
In looking over the past few months of recipes here at Long Distance Baking, I’ve come to realize we use a lot of frosting around here! But it is usually more behind the scenes, while the baked treats get all the attention. It’s time for frosting to be front and center…and today, it’s all about the […]
Today we have a guest post by Kelly’s friend, Anna! She made this amazing Valentine’s Chocolate Cake for her boyfriend over the weekend and it was a hit! Anna and Kelly were in the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority together at USC. She currently lives in Seattle, WA. Thanks for sharing with us, Anna! Valentine’s Day was this […]

I’m warning you now: this post is going to be mostly pictures. Of my dogs. Because I don’t really know what to say. And I can’t promise there won’t be tears. But you will get to see an old picture of me with braces…so that’s fun. Meet Patches and Rookie. Aka The Boys. … [Read more…]
