Desserts on the go
Oh the places you’ll go! (And the desserts you’ll eat!) Week 31: Dessert excerpts from my East Coast trip so far – Manhattan, upstate New York, and Boston.

Sometimes the dessert policy is the messier the better, right? At least when dealing with gooey chocolate desserts. Week 30: Chocolate Lava Cakes
Lime Cake with Blackberry Lavender Icing
This cake is in honor of lavender fields in bloom and piles of fresh berries at the market. Week 29: Lime Cake with Blackberry Lavender Icing
Almond and Nectarine Financiers
I played the go-to-the-farmers’-market-and-see-what-looks-good game to pick what to make this week! Nectarines won, hands down. I had to resist piles of berries and peaches too, but there’s always next week, right? Week 28: Almond and Nectarine Financiers
Mixed Berry Pavlova
Happy 4th of July week! Decided to get my red, white and blue on for this week’s bake. Week 27: Mixed Berry Pavlova
Brown Sugar Nectarine Galette
How do I love thee, summer fruit? Let me count the ways. Week 26: Brown Sugar Nectarine Galette
Raspberry Lemonade Meringue Pie
This jazzed-up version of a lemon classic is super refreshing! It’s the closest thing I can get to a summery drink in a bake. Week 25: Raspberry Lemonade Meringue Pie
Coffee, Cardamom & Pistachio Swiss Roll
Swiss rolls were one of my favorite challenges to watch on Great British Bake Off – so many creative ways to flavor and decorate a cute little cream cake! Week 24: Coffee, Cardamom & Pistachio Swiss Roll
Sha-bahta, cha-batta, see-ya-bata . . .
No matter how you pronounce it, it’s delicious. Slightly salty and light as a feather. Week 23: Ciabatta
Life Lessons and French Vanilla Ice Cream
You know that saying that goes: “when life give you flat sponge cake and curdled custard, make french vanilla ice cream”? Or it something like that. Week 22: Life Lessons and French Vanilla Ice Cream
