My friend came back from a trip to Portland and told me that the best thing she ate on the trip was a baked chocolate earl grey donut. She described the flavor profile and asked if I could recreate it for her. Since it will be her birthday soon, I happily obliged! So, here’s my attempt at making some chocolate earl grey donuts. She wanted them less chocolate with more of an earl grey taste profile so hopefully I pulled it off!

I’m in a book club with some friends and we recently read the book, “Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come.” We decided to have a potluck and so I decided to make the cake on the cover of the book! I love RecipeTinEats vanilla cake recipe and so I used it. However, I also used the regular vanilla buttercream recipe. I don’t really like American buttercream and so next time I make this cake, I’d rather replace it with a different kind.

It’s summer which means its peach season! Peaches are definitely one of my favorite fruits so I wanted to make cakes with peaches in them. I thought about including a whole slice of peach in the cake so I decided to make my cakes mini so that one layer can just be the peach itself! I suck at making cakes though, so I struggle. haha. But I still enjoy the process!

Did you know there’s a Friends’ episode where Ross eats Monica’s Kiwi Lime Pie not knowing there’s kiwi in it? He’s allergic and doesn’t have a good reaction. haha. However, my kiwi lime pie will definitely say, I contain kiwis! I saw these beautiful RubyRed kiwis in the market and had to make something with them! So here’s this pie. Or is it a tart? What’s the difference??
