Malt Vanilla Ice Cream Cake

Posted on October 5, 2016 by sparecake

Someone recently gave me a package of Chips Ahoy cookies. I didn’t really want to just eat them plain, as there are plenty of cookies I like better, so I turned them into the bottom crust for a simple but … Continue reading →

Posted on September 28, 2016 by sparecake

I recently spent a day with a local hunting guide driving around all sorts of places south of Rawlins looking at historic homesteads, stage stops, and barns. Before the trip, I asked the guide what sort of baked goods he’d … Continue reading →

Pear Crisp Cheesecake

Posted on September 21, 2016 by sparecake

This is a pretty amazing cheesecake. The cheesecake part itself is super creamy and light, and then you add the fruit crumble and… perfection! It just shares that one downside of most cheesecakes, that it needs to chill overnight, so … Continue reading →

Butterscotch Pudding Pie

Posted on August 10, 2016 by sparecake

There are a couple steps to this pie, but none of them take very long (with the possible exception of waiting for everything to cool before you eat it), and it’s totally worth it. The crust, even when baked, tastes … Continue reading →

Browned Butter, White Chocolate Cookies

Posted on August 3, 2016 by sparecake

These are thick, crunchy cookies with a flavor I enjoyed. I don’t think they shouted BROWN BUTTER, but it’s definitely in there, and I thought it went well with the white chocolate. Once you’ve got the butter browned, everything else … Continue reading →
