Caramel Apple Twists

I’m always excited to share the recipes I create, but these Caramel Apple Twists have got be one of my top 5 recipes I’m most proud of!Here’s why: The dough is soft and fluffy, despite only needing 30 minutes of rising. The filling is packed full of bits of apple mixed with a caramel sauce, then topped with a maple glaze. Did I mention the happy accident where the filling leaks out while baking, leaving the bottoms caramelized and crispy? It is DIVINE! And unlike most cinnamon roll recipes, it takes less than an hour. No more waking up at the crack of dawn to have freshly-baked goods on special occasions!

Baked Blueberry Donuts With Lemon Glaze

I've always been a HUGE donut lover! When I was a young girl we would often stop at the local bakery once or twice a month and I would always choose a donut as my 'special' treat! Cake donuts, chocolate donuts, jelly filled donuts, you name it I LOVED them! But the 'older' me has a hard time 'treating' myself to our local bakeries donuts because of course they are fried. So if I'm going to have a sweet tooth, I decided it was time to starting 'baking' my donuts instead! These Blueberry donuts are one of my latest faves because I think the combination of light and fluffy donut full of blueberries and topped with a sweet lemon glaze is the perfect combination.

Dulce De Leche (caramel) Croissants

After I made the dulce de leche using this recipe, I wanted to use it as a filling for the croissants. My husband requested Nutella filling too, so I added that option below.

French Crepes

These French Crepes are so thin and light and are best served with fruit, whipped cream or chocolate spread (shh, you can even mix all three). It is super common in France to have crepes eaten as breakfast, so you can definitely get away with having a few (or many) during the morning hours. I personally don’t think anyone would ever not like these. This recipe creates crepes that are so soft, yet so thin. The texture is ever so perfect, as it is so delicate and soft. It’s delicious and the best part is: it doesn’t take a long time to make. You can enjoy it with tea or coffee.Check out my blog for the full recipe post here.Happy baking!-Sarah :)

Raspberry Chocolate Tart

There’s a new French tart in town and the silky smooth ganache looks as great as it tastes. Bursting with fresh berries, brimming with a decadent dark chocolate filling and cradled in a chocolate pastry crust this Raspberry Chocolate Tart is the perfect finale to your dinner.Fireworks were an accidental invention. That’s freaking hysterical to me. Pyrotechnics must’ve been one hell of a surprise for the cook in China who unknowingly spilled saltpeter into a fire. It sounds like something I’d do. Frankly, I’m surprised my kitchen has yet to see an explosion comparable to the 4th of July. It’s seen a lot, but not a baking bottle rocket.Two thousand years after fireworks were born with a bang another monumental invention also occurred in a kitchen, this time in France. A chocolatier’s apprentice accidently poured boiling cream over a bowl of expensive chopped chocolate. For the wasteful error he was called a dumbass, the French translation for which was ganache.You see where I’m going with this? Dumbass’ mistake turned out to be so delicious that they named the creamy creation after him!The moral of the story is that you can literally make ganache without thinking. It’s that easy. Simply heat heavy cream and milk until boiling then pour over dark chocolate and stir until smooth. Throw in a pair of eggs, some sugar and vanilla and you have the most velvety tart filling you’ve ever tasted.Plus it’s bursting with fresh berries and cradled in a from-scratch chocolate pastry crust. This Raspberry Chocolate Tart likes to show off. Nobody like a show-off, yet everybody loves this dessert. It’s a paradox you can’t explain until you taste the first delectable bite.

For soft, fluffy sweet rolls with a twist on your campfire favorite try these S’mores Rolls with Marshmallow Meringue. Stuffed with melty chocolate and graham cracker crumbs then topped with toasted marshmallow meringue, s’mores rolls are the best breakfast you can have without a bonfire.Apparently there’s an ongoing debate over the proper season to eat s’mores. I don’t get it. Why bicker over summer versus fall when there’s no wrong time to stuff your face with s’mores? Including the dead of winter in Westeros. Cold weather, hot weather, fireplace or campfire, in my world s’mores get made whenever the mood hits.Today the mood hit like a mule kick.This created quite the dilemma for me. What do you do when you’re craving s’mores but it’s raining cats and dogs? You get creative, that’s what. And before you ask, no, I didn’t start a bonfire in the middle of my kitchen. I decided to make something brand new: a cinnamon bun version of s’mores.Minus the cinnamon, of course.The result of revamping my go-to bun recipe was sinfully good. Just imagine soft, pillowy rolls stuffed with layers of melty chocolate and crushed graham crackers topped off with a toasted marshmallow meringue. Now stop imagining and go make them.Smore’s Rolls with Marshmallow Meringue have all the ooey gooey goodness of s’mores in an over-the-top sweet roll. If you love breakfasts that require a blowtorch, these s’mores rolls will make your day.

Mini Lemon Blackberry Tarts

When I think of summer, tarts are the first food that pop into my head, they're just that good. Light, sweet, and everything you want a dessert to be. Plus, you can make SO MANY different types of tarts. Fruit tarts? Amazing. Chocolate tarts? To die for! Lemon Blackberry tarts? JACKPOT. They're just so full of flavor, light, and extremely well balanced between sweet, sour and tangy. I LOVE IT. Lemons + blackberries = a match made in heaven. Every bite is a dream. The best part? It's actually pretty simple. It doesn't require a lot of hands on time. Just a lot of waiting for different components to chill in the fridge. One more thing: these aren't any normal tart. They're tartlettes, mini tarts. How CUTE! Follow my Instagram here to see more.Happy baking friends! Check out the full recipe post on my blog here.Sarah
