We enjoy pillowy yeast rolls year-round, but they are an absolute must at our big holiday dinners. I love this recipe because it yields 24 perfect soft dinner rolls with golden tops and a lightly tangy buttermilk flavor. They're also 'rapid rise' which means a higher amount of yeast is used in the d
They say necessity is the mother of invention, but in this case it was impatience and laziness. I wanted cheesecake but didn't want to wait an hour for it to bake in a water bath. And I certainly didn't want to wait another 2 hours for it to chill. There were a few no-bake options that I'd consider
I'm having a raspberry moment. A little over a week ago I posted the most chocolaty-raspberried cake, ever. We ate every last smidgen, but that still didn't cure my craving. I decided to make a second and completely different kind of raspberry cake. These fluffy yellow cake layers are marbled wit
This shortbread is the best kind of aromatherapy. Rosemary has a piney fragrance that reminds me of a freshly cut fir tree, and when combined with buttery shortbread dough you've got a cookie that tastes like Christmas! I usually cut shortbread into long fingers (they're great for dipping in coffee)
I'm into gingerbread in a big way this season, and that's not always been the case in previous years. I'm not sure why. Perhaps because I was too busy stuffing Oreos inside Red Velvet Crinkles, or building the biggest Black Forest Cake ever, ever, ever. But this year is different and I just can't g
I'm super excited about today's blog post because, not only do I get to share confetti cupcakes with you (which are my favorite!), but we're also having a virtual baby shower! My blog buddy Jessica of How Sweet It Is will welcome her new baby in December, so a whole bunch of us food bloggers are thr
I just love a good Bavarian cream. Remember this cake I made two years ago? Yeah. That's still one of my favorite recipes of all time. I usually make a molded white chocolate Bavarian each year at Christmastime, but I'd never considered making one during autumn months. I mean, with all the warm cinn
I hadn't planned on blogging this recipe, but it's just so darn good that I decided to go ahead and share. Last week I was asked to create a smash cake for a baby's first birthday, and it had to be dairy-free. I used a simple egg-free vanilla cake recipe with vegetable oil as the fat instead of butt
I know a lot of people who shy away from making hard candy, and I understand why. First, there's the boiling hot syrup that sticks to skin like napalm (been there, not fun!). And second, clean up isn't exactly easy. Pots and pans with stuck-on hard candy will sometimes take hours to soak clean. That
Sprinkle Bakes just turned 5 years old! When I look back at all the sweet things I've made - the cakes, the friends, the memories -I feel truly blessed. This little corner of the web has brought me more happiness than I ever dreamed possible, and I appreciate everyone who stops by for a peek at what
According to The Chocolate Bible, a Gentlemen's Torte is a many-layered Sachertorte that is soaked with booze. Other books on the subject say that almost any cake could be called a Gentlemen's Torte if it is doused with enough whiskey. In fairness, I think this type of cake could also be called a Wh
How funny are these little guys? I couldn't help but giggle as I made them because each seemed to take on a different personality. They're simply made from meringue and candy canes. I used jumbo confetti sequins (like these) for their ears, but slivered almonds would work well, too. I love how they'
Okay. So maybe I told a little white lie in my last post about holding off on fall baking until my return from the beach (we're still here, and loving every minute!). In my defense, this is candy (which isn't exactly baking, right?) and it's so darn easy to make I had no trouble whipping it up befor
It's a rare occasion that I'll watch a movie from beginning to end without having to prop my eyelids open, but recently I did just that! I watched Amadeus again. It's been years since I first watched it, and I've loved it since. There's Salieri, shaking his fist at God and cursing his own mediocri
I first saw marshmallow ropes a few years ago at a local specialty market and loved them instantly. They looked so colorful and fun sitting there on the shelf, I felt compelled to try making a homemade version, but back then the task was too daunting. I was ill-equipped. My previous marshmallow atte
