Classic Chocolate Whoopie Pies

Classic Chocolate Whoopie Pies by Heidi Namba

I love whoopie pies. I love eating them and making them. They are a cross between a cookie and a cake. Like thin little cakes with some filling in between. I realize the classic whoopie pie filling is a marshmallow type of filling but I used a regular vanilla American buttercream made with butter & hi-ratio shortening. I used a…

Blackberry Muffins with Lime Glaze

Blackberry Muffins with Lime Glaze by Heidi Namba

It's been awhile since I've made muffins. I came across an interesting looking muffin recipe on one of my favorite blogs this past weekend - My Baking Addiction Blog. I just really had the urge to make them! She put blueberries in hers but I had a big container of fresh blackberries that I wanted to use. So mine are blackberry…

Homemade Oreo Cookies

Homemade Oreo Cookies by Heidi Namba

This was a fun recipe and believe it or not, very easy to make. They really didn't take that long either to make, bake & put together and I even made a double recipe. Most importantly, they are delicious. I would definitely make these again. I wouldn't say they taste like Oreos. I mean, Oreos have a very special taste & texture…

Vanilla Bean Cheesecake

Vanilla Bean Cheesecake by Heidi Namba

I went to Cheesecake Factory the other day for dinner. It's so overwhelming, the number of cheesecake flavors they have there. Some of the flavor combinations sound not so good but some of them tempt me but in the end, I always get the vanilla bean cheesecake. I do like to have some sort of berry sauce on my plain cheesecake but…

Coconut Cookies

Coconut Cookies by Heidi Namba

I baked these cookies longer than I normally would because I wanted to achieve the crisp edges that shatter when you bite into the cookie. I made sure they were a deep golden brown before removing them from the oven. The recipe calls for 4 cups of coconut but I had one of those large bags of Bakers coconut that was, I think, about 5…

I will definitely make it again. And if you have followed my blog in the past and have noticed my other banana bread recipes, I have to always add a…

Bakerella's Yellow Cake

Bakerella's Yellow Cake by Heidi Namba

Bakerella's Yellow CakeI came across this recipe for yellow cake on Bakerella's website. I was intrigued and wanted to make it right away. I liked it but wasn't wowed by it. Bakerella mentioned spraying her cake layers with a simple syrup solution. That's a good way to keep the layers moist. I didn't do that and my cake was a BIT…
