Happy Cupcake Week on Long Distance Baking! You read that right, it’s cupcake week here at LDB and we couldn’t be more excited! We have 3 yummy cupcake variations this week, starting with Classic Vanilla. The idea for cupcake week came about when I was asked to bake cupcakes for my cousin’s first birthday. I […]
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 […]
How is June almost over?! I’m in denial that the 4th of July is next week. Although I must not be in too much denial, considering I tested out holiday recipes before the holiday for once. It really is a miracle. I saw these cheesecake bars on pinterest and couldn’t resist! I mean, come on. They’re adorable! I […]
I think a love of popcorn is a genetic thing. I mean…I haven’t seen any real research done on the topic, but from my own observations it appears to be true. My mom used to chastise my grandmother for eating popcorn for dinner, but I have it on good authority on nights when my dad […]

Confession: I have a huge sweet tooth (shocker, I know). Mostly for chocolate. I rarely ever crave candy or other sweets…but I think on a weekly basis I say something along the lines of “OMG I need chocolate!” While I have been known to bake brownies at midnight or eat a mug cake for two […]
I’ve been a little all over the place lately. Two weeks ago I drove through Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana, helping my boyfriend fiance (still not used to saying this!) move. Last week, I was in Phoenix, Arizona at a high school friends’ wedding. And now? Back in Boise. I do pretty well on […]
Making jam sounds like a very labor intensive and scary process, better left to Laura Ingalls Wilder and cute little old ladies…am I right? WRONG! At least for freezer jam. It is so amazingly easy!! No more making excuses. You need to make this. This was my summer project as a kid. My parents decided since I […]
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 […]
Long Distance Baking is primarily a baking blog but we like to occasionally spice it up and include non-desserts. Yep, we’re rebels like that 😉 About a few weeks ago, my Aunt Paula gave me an early birthday gift of old-fashioned kitchen tools (which I will highlight with a post next week!) and one of these […]

Remember last week I confessed my love of cheesy carbs? It’s a real thing. Case in point: two cheesy snacks back to back. Cheeze-its. Goldfish. Cheddar Bunnies. I love them all. They’re the kind of snacks someone will have to physically take out of my hands before I eat the whole bag in one sitting. […]
