As I've mentioned before, I love taking recipes and tweaking them for new flavor combinations! This one in particular is my go-to scones recipe with a few fun twists! For these ones, instead of blueberries, I used blackberries and also added some lemon for an extra pop! Ingredients: - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 3 tablespoons granulated sugar - 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder - 3/4 teaspoon salt - 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces - 1 cup blackberries - ze

When I was just a wee little witch, one of my favorite books to read with my mom was “Old Black Witch” by Wende and Harry Devlin. It's a cute and quirky little story about a mom and her son who move and plan to open a tea room. But to their surprise, there's a witch living in the building they buy and she refuses to leave and plays pranks on them in an effort to make them give up. In the end, they form a friendship over the witch's delicious pancakes--and there's nothing my m

This week for Sweet Spells Sunday, I'm sharing my favorite recipe for Blood Orange Donuts! I get asked about these a lot so I figured it was time to make a post for it! This recipe comes from The Little Epicurean and it's honestly such a cinch to make! I always change it up with decorations, but it's always a crowd pleaser. I've made these for parties, weddings, and lots of pop-ups--and they're always a hit! Ingredients: Donuts: - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking

I made this cake around this time last year, so I thought it'd be a fitting recipe for the week! It's a perfect recipe for winter that leaves you feeling cozy and festive even after the holidays. The recipe I used for this cake comes from Sugar Spun Run, and I used it for a winter dinner party. For decoration, I wreathed the cake in rosemary, pomegranate kernels, and candied orange slices! Ingredients For the cake - 1 1/4 cup butter softened to room temperature - 1 cup molas

This Sweet Spells Sunday was inspired by a recipe from Sugar Dish Me--the big difference being the addition of hibiscus as a flavor component (and a witchy element). You might remember from my post about hibiscus syrup, that after I made my first batch, I was integrating it into anything I could. This recipe drew me to it because I love both red velvet cake and cheesecake. They're both such decadent, sinful treats that I felt hibiscus was the perfect addition. As you might re

This recipe involves a lot of legwork, but is so worth it for the finished product! It's perfect for a Halloween dinner or any special occasion when you're trying to get spooky! The base is a classic panna cotta, but it's filled with a blood orange curd and a topped with a blood orange syrup! So here's the components altogether: Blood Orange Curd: (You'll recognize this recipe from my post on thyme lemon curd) Ingredients: - 1-2 tbsp blood orange zest - 3/4 cup fresh blood or

For this week’s Sweet Spells Sunday, I’m going to share a recipe for Pumpkin Cakes with Cinnamon Glaze and Sage Buttercream! I made these a few weeks ago and my friends absolutely devoured them! The recipe for the cakes is originally from Lovely Little Kitchen and made much more than expected because it’s for a full bundt cake pan and I was baking it in mini bundt molds. I decided to bake the extra batter in a mini loaf pan so it didn’t go to waste. So if you want to halve th

Welcome to my first Sweet Spells Sunday with a recipe! As I mentioned before on the Instagram, Sweet Spells Sundays will not be magical recipes per se. They'll just be regular baking--but then again anything can be made magical with intention! Today I'm going to share with you my favorite banana bread recipe! This recipe comes for Martha Stewart and it's the one I've used for years. Every now and then I make some variations, but it's never disappointed me! For this recipe you
