This week’s obsession: Happy Anniversary, Rebellion Baking
Rebellion Baking is 2! Can you believe it?! Rebellion Baking has been in my life for two whole years! I’ve had some pretty cool experiences because of this small business of mine. I’ve gotten to make some pretty cool cakes and desserts, I’ve gotten to show off my skills via my blog, social media, and fun collaborations, and I’ve met some incredible people along the way! I’ve learned what some of my weaknesses are, discovered areas of my business that I’m passionate about, and

This week’s obsession: Navy Brownies
Last weekend I had the pleasure of visiting a friend in San Diego to celebrate her birthday! We spent a long weekend exploring the city, endured some time bundled up on the beach (I have never been so cold on a beach before! And I still managed to get a decent sunburn #IrishLife), and drank a round of birthday sangria (we even got the half@ssed recipe from our very eccentric waiter - which may or may not make an appearance on Baking and Boozing at some point after I decipher

This week’s obsession: Easter Eggs
Ok am I a total fat kid, or have Cadbury Caramel Eggs gotten smaller?! I could have sworn that they used to be colossal, delicious, primo chocolate vessels for my favoritest caramel* ever. I also could have sworn that they spanned more than part of the length of my dainty fingers. Do you remember them being much larger than this or am I dreaming? *caramel that I haven’t made myself. This week I got myself a box* of Cadbury Caramel Eggs so I could have a semblance of an Easter

This week’s obsession: Mirror Glazed Cakes
I just lived through an unbelievably crazy, utterly bizarre, absolute whirlwind of a week. It felt like a full month though. (Seriously, I told someone to ‘have a great weekend’ on Tuesday 🤦🏻♀️) The events of this past week… well, legally I can’t tell you about them just yet (everything is fine! Don’t freak out!), but because of the craziness that happened this week, I am now inspired to try several different types of cake decorating styles. I will make my way through them

Baking and Boozing, Ep. 1
Episode 1: Roll With It! Welcome to my new video series, Baking and Boozing! In order to succeed, they say you have to start before you’re ready, and boy have I been “not ready” for this entire last year. But here I am, doing this anyway. This video series has been a long time coming and I am so happy to finally share this with you! Over the last 3 years, several of my friends who have extensive experience and education in the communications world began advising me to make a

This week’s obsession: A Flower Cake
"First day of meteorological spring." This is a phrase that had not been on my radar until this year. Probably because I have never shared such a close connection with my mobile devices before. But since the pandemic hit, I’m now frequently reading about things I never knew about or really paid attention to before. A discovery I made about myself during my reading last week is that even though I never really knew about meteorological spring, I have ALWAYS conducted my (mental

This week’s obsession: Tools of the Trade
Do you ever have a day so bad that you’re actively looking for your dealer on the streets as you drive home from work? That was me this past week. I was searching and searching, but I couldn’t find a Girl Scout selling cookies anywhere. What, did you think I was talking about something else? 😈 Since Girl Scouts are nowhere to be seen these days, I decided to make my own Tagalongs (the one that's a shortbread cookie with peanut butter filling coated in chocolate.

This week’s obsession: Baked Cake Donuts
I was rummaging around my kitchen one morning before work this week, all in a tizzy because I knew that I had a big weekend planned for Rebellion Baking, but none of what I was doing this weekend would have been ready on time for me to use for my blog today. My main concern was trying to figure out what to make that was relatively easy, but I was also trying to figure out who would be around to eat whatever I made (this is unfortunately a real concern for me in a new city dur

This week’s obsession: Chocolate Raspberry Macarons
No but seriously. I know that cauliflower is having its moment, but nobody wants that for Valentine’s Day. I can tell you what they do want though… Literally anything else. Or maybe something sweet? Like candy? Cookies? Macarons? Back in the day when I was getting really good at making macarons, I was so focused on them coming out absolutely perfect that I never entertained the idea of getting creative with the shape of the cookie. I wanted flawlessness - perfect feet, comple

This week’s obsession: More King Cake
I know I already wrote a post about King Cake last year, but let’s be real here. King Cake season happens every year, so we need to acknowledge that by eating more King Cake. As I was sharing my most recent King Cake (see above) with some friends and discussing the amount of King Cake that gets eaten during this time of year, I kind of think they thought I was joking. But one of my favorite New Orleans themed retail shops created a print that perfectly sums up the consumption

This week’s obsession: Hot Cocoa Bombs
Is anyone else just obsessing over the hot cocoa bombs that are sweeping the culinary world? It can’t be just me. And I hope hot cocoa is certainly something that you’re interested in because #SPOILERALERT I’M GIVING AWAY MY RECIPE! But more on that later... Ever since I saw these pretty little cocoa bombs, I knew I would have to try it (“try it” as in make them myself). For those of you wondering why I would ever want to try a bomb, allow me to explain some pastry history. I

This week’s obsession: Galette de Rois
Happy Epiphany! Or, well, ya know, belated Epiphany (it was on Jan. 6). Not sure what you call it - or if you even celebrate it - but Epiphany marks the day when the Three Wise Men (kings) arrived to bestow gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh on the newborn Jesus. Epiphany also goes by King’s Day, Three King’s Day, 12th Night OR 12th Day depending on if you start counting the 12 days of Christmas ON Christmas, or on the day after Christmas, but where I come from it’s known

This week’s obsession: Kiss It Goodbye
GOODBYE 2020!! You will NOT be missed! Usually when I say goodbye, I say it sweetly, like my farewell cake when we moved back to the mainland. Or this cake I just made for a sweet, sweet coworker who, after 10 amazing years working for this establishment, left to welcome an incredible job opportunity! We all know why 2020 does not deserve this sweetness, but do you know why my former coworker does? Let me tell you all about it: Once upon a time… (back in 2020) In a far away l

This week’s obsession: Pavlova
Hey friends! How’s the holiday eating going? Personally, I’m not doing so well: But at least I'm warm. #ChristmasSelfie To help with this situation, I downloaded a calorie counting app to get a jump start on what I’m now calling “Jaw-dropping January”, meaning that I plan to eat more sensibly than I have since Thanksgiving (actually since quarantine started) and will attempt to run more than twice a week. In all honesty, this app thing is not going so well either as I’ve alre

This week’s obsession: Linzer Cookies
I have been thinking about Christmas cookies for weeks now. I think I’m so excited about Christmas baking this year because last year I struggled through it while my wrist was in a cast. But this year I have two functioning hands! Plus coworkers and neighbors to share with! I feel unstoppable! I’m going to spread Christmas cheer like confetti! Or like toilet paper, apparently. #HotPresentsFor2020 This year, I made several types of cookies for my Christmas cookie spread, becau

This week’s obsession: Gingerbread Cookie Christmas Tree
We are smack dab in the middle of the holidays and I don’t know about all of you, but my jeans are screaming, “For the love of God, woman, eat a salad!” And then my sweatpants are all, “No worries, girl, we got you.” It’s a very confusing situation, especially with alllllll the goodies I’ve been making. That’s why when I had the bright idea to make this gingerbread cookie Christmas tree tower, I planned to get rid of it as soon as it was finished. There’s no way I’d be able t

This week’s obsession: Peppermint Mousse Cake
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! And it certainly feels like it, too. This is the first time in several years that December is actually chilly where I live and I have to bundle up. I’m actually rather enjoying it this year because it’s definitely putting me in the holiday spirit. I’ve got to be honest, I have been daydreaming about making this cake for weeks now because of this ubiquitous holiday feel. The cake turned out nothing like I had envisioned, but it stil

This week’s obsession: Caramel Ice Cream and Mini Cookie Cups
My grandparents once told me a story about how Grandma (by far the greatest cook ever in the world) once made a casserole for dinner. Grandpa came home from work, saw what she was making, and said, “Oh, I guess you didn’t feel like really cooking today.” Ok, we can all say it together: When I looked at Grandpa with the huffy, “ugh” that we all just felt, he sheepishly responded with a shrug and a, “I didn’t know!” You see casseroles, even though they are only presented in one
