Posted on May 30, 2016 by sparecake

This is a weird one, as it neither uses cream nor… brulees? Anyway you don’t use a torch or a broiler! I’ll admit it’s been years since I’ve had proper creme brulee, but this really grew on me, especially with … Continue reading →

This is definitely the most delicious thing I’ve eaten in a while! It’s sweet, with that fluffernutter flavor New England people are contractually obligated to love, and where the topping and the cake layer meet it stays a little bit … Continue reading →

This is easy enough that it really shouldn’t throw off your already meticulously planned Thanksgiving cooking schedule too much if you (wisely) decide to throw it in! I made this twice last week, once for myself, and once to bring … Continue reading →
