Remember when I took that cake decorating class to prepare for the wedding that was months away? Well, it’s now only a month a way. Time to kick it into gear! I just started a new job about 3 weeks ago that I love and we got a few days off for Spring recess. I […]

We were very excited and honored when Liz from Floating Kitchen nominated us for a Liebster Award! A Liebster Award is passed from one blogger to another, typically those who are “newer” bloggers, and it is a way for us to get to know each other and for our readers to get to know us. It’s […]

Guys, I’m on a health kick. Yes, I know I say that often on here but when you have a blog that is dedicated to baked goods and desserts, health kicks are needed to keep yourself in check. At least they are for me. For this health kick (which in full disclosure, I just ate […]

While Steph was relaxing in Cabo and surviving a hurricane (check it our here!), I was drowning my twinge of jealousy that I wasn’t relaxing on a beach in Mexico with her in these Applesauce Cupcakes w/Cinnamon Buttercream. Because, come on, who doesn’t drown their emotions in baked goods especially ones that have been described […]

Tis the season for zucchini! I’ve already started seeing coworkers leaving their extras in the break room at work. I’m slightly ashamed to say though, I have no homegrown zucchini this year I got the “grey bugs of death” on my plants and there was no saving them. Normally by this time of year we have dozens […]

Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! If I had planned better, I would have made this recipe prior to Valentine’s Day so you could have made and enjoyed them too… Sorry! Good thing Nutella can be enjoyed year round! As in, good thing you never need a reason to eat Nutella because it can and should be […]

If you remember, Kelly and I originally started doing Monthly Musings here on LDB. Once a month we would post our current ramblings or fill you in on life. However as we’ve gotten more in the swing of things with creating and posting recipes regularly, the Monthly Musings have fallen by the wayside. We’ve decided they […]

To be honest, I really didn’t know that royal icing was “fancy” or that many people rarely or never use it. We just called it “frosting” and it was the only way I knew how to frost cookies! Royal icing will dry into a smooth, hard finish that looks very professional. Any little bumps or […]

Guyyyssss. I’m confused on my seasons. Yes, I L.O.V.E. Fall. Clearly, it’s been all pumpkin everything over here lately. Yet now, I’m bringing you pesto. I don’t know about where you guys live, but we’ve been having a gorgeous fall here in Boise! I just roasted my peppers, I made more crockpot tomato sauce with the last […]

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 […]

Chocolate. Peanut Butter. Pretzel. Cookies. You read that right. Salty pretzels with sweet chocolate and creamy peanut butter. All jammed into a cookie together with their friend oatmeal. I struggled coming up with a name because there are so many good ingredients in these bad boys! But I figured “Oatmeal-Chocolate-Chip-Peanut-Butter-Pretzel-Cookies” sounded like a bit of […]

Read about online dating part 1 here.  Well online dating, we’ve made it almost 3 months but now it’s time to go. It’s not you, it’s me. Really, it’s me. Although, I do not feel that you really listened my responses to those survey questions in the beginning because some of my “matches” were questionable. It’s […]

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 […]

I don’t know about you, but all of my coworkers are either A) really healthy or B) still doing well on their resolutions to be really healthy. And good for them! But…that wasn’t my resolution. I’m not unhealthy be any means, but I’m also not cutting carbohydrates like a few of them. I’m not cutting […]
