	Vanilla Pastry Cream by Heidi Namba It's been awhile since I posted anything. I've been baking up a storm but have recently got a new computer and could not get it up and running. It seems to be working fine now so I have a lot of posting to catch up on!The only reason I made pastry cream is because I had so many egg yolks left over from making my white cake and I…	1 vote 298 views
	Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake with Glossy Chocolate Icing by Heidi Namba I have mixed feelings about this cake. It is indeed delicious. It's a dark chocolate cake and it's moist and dense without being too sweet. I was excited about making this icing. I have always wanted to find a chocolate icing recipe that resulted in a silky smooth glossy icing. This one sounded like a hit. It was really tasty but…	1 vote 1125 views
	Banana Bread with Cinnamon Crumble Topping by Heidi Namba This was an excellent banana bread recipe. It turned out to have the perfect amount of banana flavor and was actually light & fluffy & more cake like than quick bread texture. The sprinkle of sugar & cinnamon on top turns into a crisp & sweet topping. The honey was an interesting addition but to tell you the truth, you cannot detect…	1 vote 565 views
	Oatmeal Fudge Bars by Heidi Namba These oatmeal fudge bars look delicious but honestly, they just didn't do it for me. They were just so so. The surprising thing is, these won the grand prize in a bar cookie contest for Cook's Country magazine. I made a double recipe and baken them in a 13x9 inch pan. Below are some notes about the recipe taken from the magazine.A…	1 vote 265 views

	My now favorite White Cake recipe by Heidi Namba I have always wanted to find an awesome recipe for white cake. White cake with white buttercream is my favorite kind of cake. I have tried sooo many white cake recipes. So many. And I've experienced many disappointing results. Although the base of this recipe is a cake mix, it's definitely the closest I've come to my idea of a perfect…	5 votes 2 reviews 1 comment 13654 views
	Lemon Crunch Muffins by Heidi Namba Lovely lemony crunchy sugary muffins! These turned out beautifully and I enjoyed one of these for my dinner tonight. I cut it in half and slathered one side with raspberry jam. So delicious! The only bad thing about these is that when I flipped them out of the pan, a lot of the sugary topping fell off the muffins. Bummer. But besides…	1 vote 327 views
	Milk chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing by Heidi Namba These cupcakes were tasty. They were sweet. They were definitely more milk chocolate than dark chocolate. Kids love these! I found this recipe on smuckers.com. I had never searched their website before but they have a lot of delicious looking recipes. This recipe was meant to be baked in a tube pan and served with hot fudge ice cream…	1 vote 707 views
	Cherry Bars & Apricot Bars by Heidi Namba These fruit bars all soooo delicious! And they are really easy to put together. Ridiculously simple. You can use any flavor of jam or preserves that you want. I made 2 pans and for one pan I used sour cherry jam and the other I used apricot preserves. They both turned out excellent. I used half whole wheat flour to add a little…	1 vote 275 views
	Lime Cheesecake with Raspberry Cream by Heidi Namba This recipe comes from my new cookbook, "Classic Southern Desserts"- It's from the editors of Southern Living. I've had so much fun reading this book. There are a ton of recipes in this book that I want to make. The only reason I chose this lime cheesecake is because I had a lot of extra limes leftover from some lime bars I made last…	1 vote 448 views
