  • Buttercream Frosting

    I always use this for Birthday Cakes. It holds a good from, and takes colouring really well. It is a lot of butter, so don’t go too crazy, otherwise you’ll get bathroom issues. C. just eats the icing, and tries to give the cupcake to whoever is closest.

  • Haupia

    This is my favourite dessert from Hawaii. It’s super simple, but is absolutely delicious. Unless you don’t like coconuts, but then you also don’t like happiness, so you can be sad while I eat my haupia.

  • Lemonade

      I have made this for my entire life. Every winter, when lemons are in season,, we would make an enormous batch. It stores exceedingly well because it is so acidic. You can mix in the syrup to your own taste. Don’t let anyone tell you how much is too much. You know yourself.

  • Chocolate Cupcakes

      These were the first treats C. and I made for our Stoki Sundays together. We wanted to make a good first impression to celebrate everyone arriving to the school. And who doesn’t love cupcakes?

  • “Varenki”

    It's meat in a puff pastry. It's not complicated, and not truly slavic. But everyone, including kids, seems to really like them.
