Of all the breakfast pastries in all the world, I would have to say almond croissants are my absolute favorite. True story! The soft buttery folds of dough, the flaky crust that shatters with each bite, the nutty sweetness from the gooey decadent filling, the taste and fragrance of almond – I love everything about [...]

Hey it’s me, you know, the girl who loves sweets. I haven’t been around here much in the past few months I know. Just a muffin recipe here and there or maybe an awesome sundae find. But I’m still around and still getting my hands on all the sweets I can find, I’ve just been [...]

National Pie Day may have come and gone, but let’s be real. I don’t need a national food holiday to find a reason to eat pie. In fact I find myself celebrating National Pie Day at least once a week if I can: a slice of banana cream pie from Clementine, a cherry hand pie from [...]

It has been a busy busy last few days! Between the Eat My Blog Charity Bake Sale, Artisanal LA Holiday Pop-Up Shop and work I haven’t had a moment to myself. And while I did bake muffins on Monday to share with all of you, I had no time to post about them. But rather [...]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you enjoyed a wonderfully overindugent weekend as I did in Colorado. Pie after pie after pie, I’m never really pumpkin’d out. However, when I’m not in the mood for pie (which – trust me – rarely happens) but am in the mood for pumpkin, I move on to the next [...]

Sometimes you just want a big ol’ ice cream sundae. And by you, I mean me. Rather than pick some Haagen-Dazs from the market as I so often do, I decided to have an impromptu sundae date. Yes, a sundae date. I texted my pal Adriana to see if she was interested in meeting me [...]

There is something so satisfying about pie. I began my love affair with it as a young child who frequented Marie Calendar’s. Remember Marie Calendar’s? Or Baker’s Square? I think there are a few of them left scattered about the suburbs. I remember the excitement I had when I knew we were going to pick [...]

Desserts for dinner? Yes, I did that (again). And it was delicious. Recently, I was lucky enough to be invited to a very special dessert date at the recently opened LA outpost of NY’s popular Fig & Olive. My date for the evening was the lovely Lynn of The Actor’s Diet. We started off our [...]

Sometimes you find the most sensational desserts at the most unassuming of places. On a visit to the elusive Macallan £10 bar, located above Scarpetta at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, I was excited to get the opportunity to enjoy beautifully hand-crafted Macallan cocktails. Our bartender prepared an off the menu cocktail that suited [...]

While I have my go-to coffee and sweets shop in my neighborhood (The Village Bakery), there is another local gem that tugs at my heartstrings – Proof Bakery. Proof Bakery is a small and quaint coffee shop with a dangerously delicious selection of pastries. Located on a stretch of Glendale Blvd. in Atwater Village that [...]
