Strawberry Stuffed Dark Chocolate Cupcakes
It’s almost summer, which means it’s strawberry season! Boxes and boxes of strawberries were on sale for 99 cents at the market, so I decided to bake something with them. I used a regular chocolate cake recipe that I got from Food.com, and cut out the center to fill it with strawberries and chocolate ganache/frosting. Definitely one of my favorite recipes so far. :)

Pineapple Upside-down Cupcakes
Helllooo Everyone,
Sorry that I’ve been so inactive on this blog lately. I was in DC last quarter on the UCDC program and it wasn’t feasible to buy a whole new set of baking tools/ingredients for 10 weeks on the east coast. I had an amazing experience and particularly miss New York, but I am happy to be back in San Diego and baking again! It’s going to be an interesting last...

Pumpkin Bread
Hello there!
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’ll be posting two pumpkin recipes today! :) This first one is a pumpkin bread recipe, baked with muffin tins because I realized I don’t have a bread pan. On that note, if anyone wants to buy me one for a Thanksgiving gift, I’ll gladly bake you some bread in return!
Anyway, enjoy.

Mango Sticky Rice
Happy Veteran’s Day Weekend! :)
I don’t know why it is, but I always get increasingly busy as the quarter progresses, which is why I haven’t been blogging lately. However, I will make up for it tonight by posting a few recipes! I’ve still been baking at least once a week, so it’s all good.
It’s been a crazy few weekends though, with my best friends’...

Pomegranate Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Helloooooo!
It’s been a little over a week since I last blogged. I’ve been a little busy lately with my bestie Vivian Han’s 21st in LA last weekend, and a midterm that I had this morning (I’m dreading week 5 when I have 3 in a row!). Anyway, I have still been baking of course, so I wanted to make sure to post this recipe of the oatmeal cookies that I made recently.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Hi there!
I’ve recently figured out that cookies are probably the easiest things to bake…and they’re so easy to store! I made these chocolate chip cookies last weekend and they lasted really well in the fridge (until the housewarming party yesterday where they were completely demolished). They sort of taste like cookie dough that you would buy from a grocery...

Dark Chocolate Souffle
I really like dark chocolate. I like it’s bittersweet taste, and the fact that it makes me feel less guilty for eating sweets because I like to think that having antioxidants makes it good for my health. I guess it’s no surprise that when I decided to make souffles for the first time, it would be dark chocolate souffle! But I have to say that I made the mistake of using bittersweet...
Dark Chocolate Walnut Brownies
Hi Everyone!
I’ve been slacking on the blogging lately, but I haven’t stopped or given up (yet, anyway)! I just moved into my new apartment in San Diego at Regents La Jolla and we haven’t gotten our internet installed yet, so I’ve been stealing internet at the Starbucks downstairs from the complex. : )
The apartment is beautiful! But I have to admit, San Diego life...
Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes
Last week I went up to Santa Barbara to celebrate my 21st and I meant to post a recipe of these rainbow jello shots that we made…or attempted to make. Anyway, it didn’t turn out as cute-looking as we had hoped, so I decided not to create a post on it (but we ate it all anyway!). I’ve been craving some strawberry shortcake, so I decided to make some mini strawberry...

Chocolate Chip Cookies with Cranberries & Walnuts
Since it’s finally summer time for me, I have lots of time to bake and I’m going to make an effort to post a new recipe each week (probably on Wednesdays since that seems to be the pattern). I plan to continue this throughout the school year, so my apartment mates will be eating lots of baked goods!!
This recipe is adapted from a chocolate chip cookie recipe from the food...
Girl Scouts Samoa Cookies!
This first post features my favorite Girl Scouts cookies: Samoas! These are dark chocolate, coconut caramel dipped shortbread cookies. They took a couple of hours to prepare, so if you’re looking for an easy way out…I’d advise spending your time searching for a Girl Scout instead. Below is the recipe (borrowed from Once Upon a Plate Recipes)…enjoy! : )
