Yesterday I returned home from a fabulous weekend in Austin, TX. It was my first time in Texas, and boy did we live it up! I am pretty sure we tried every type of food and every local brew. I am still in such a food comma, so this post will be short! After having…
Cake
Quadruple Berry Pie
This Quadruple Berry Pie is filled with summer’s finest raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries and wrapped up in a flaky all-butter crust! It’s berry season!!! I get so excited when Spring hits because it means farm tours and berry picking! There is nothing better than munching on sweet fresh berries or baking them until they…
Buttermilk Walnut Bread with Browned Butter Glaze
Happy Walnut Day! According to Dr. Micheal Roizen, a New York Times best selling author, “Walnuts provide numerous antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, protein and are the only nut offering a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids.” So what does The Seaside Baker do with these incredibly nutritious nuts? She piles them into a luscious bread with…
Chocolate Cake with Balsamic Roasted Strawberries
Have you ever found yourself in a deep conversation with someone? You know, where you go into detail about an experience you have had, or a secret that you don’t just tell anyone. A conversation that will bind you with someone forever. A conversation that you will never forget? Well this is the cake to…
Coconut Lover Cupcakes
Next weekend I will be attending The Big Traveling Potluck. Although the meals will be catered (I think), they asked everyone to sign up to bring cupcakes, appetizer or cookies for a specific day. Let me tell you about this event. There were only 75 tickets available, and at least half of these tickets…
Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies Sandwiches
Valentine’s Day has become more a kid holiday in our house. Homemade baked goods and cute hand written Valentines. This is my way of avoiding years of guilt. Let me explain. My husband, bless his heart, always tries to buy me something with hearts or romantic. Note to self: make sure to not let him…
A Love Story and Berry Black Forest Cake
First of all, Happy New Year friends! I have my fair share of resolutions that I *may* share later today (because if I actually publish them they are for real, so I am not sure if I am ready for that!), but I would love to know what your resolutions are! So, this post was…
Cakes and Graduations
This weekend my little sister graduated from high school. Since she is the last child (in my family), it was a big deal. My mother hosted a big party to celebrate the event. It was a beautiful party, and great seeing relatives from Hawaii. In a few months she will be off to San Francisco…
Purple Carrot- Carrot Cake
As some of you may be able to tell, I love color. My kitchen is bright red, my living room is aqua, and my children’s bedroom is yellow. However, these colors are constantly changing. It is funny though, because I only seem to own black clothes. I get absolutely giddy when I eat something colorful,…
Zumba and Pound Cake
After a couple of months of having a baking blog, combined with a summer trip to Hawaii, I have been forced to do the impossible….exercise. Now I am one of those people who hate going to the gym. I find it incredibly boring and all I can think about while on the machines is what…
Cookie Inspiration
I have been on a total cheesecake kick lately probably due to the chirping birds and flower buds screaming spring. Ever Easter my grandmother makes two of the most amazing cheesecakes ever! Roaming through the 99cent Only Store this week I came across a nifty bag of Nutter Butter pieces and my brain went crazy…
When Life Gives You Lemons- You Make Lemon Curd!
I love to shop. When I go out-of-town, I always go to the grocery store and find new ingredients to come home with, especially when we are abroad. At home, a trip to Whole Foods is like a trip to an amusement park, and my bill usually adds up to about the same that it…
