If you like Banana Bread, Banana Muffins, or anything banana, you’re going to love these BANANA-FILLED BANANA SCONES. These BANANA-FILLED BANANA SCONES are flaky and moist, with bananas in the scones and in the filling.

Lemon and Ginger flavors pair perfectly with each other. Ginger gives these scones a subtle warmth, while lemon gives them a tart brightness. For the ginger flavor I used ground ginger and finely chopped crystalized ginger. For the lemon flavor, these scones have lemon zest, lemon juice, and my secret ingredient, lemon yogurt. For even […]
A couple years ago while on vacation to Boston, I had the most delicious Boston Cream Pie from Flour Bakery near MIT, which is the inspiration to my Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes. These delicious Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes start with a buttery vanilla cupcake, filled with a light and yummy diplomat cream, then topped with […]

I was snacking on some Reese’s Pieces, when I thought, “why don’t I make Reese’s Pieces Macarons”. To make the macarons fun, I decided to make the macarons the color of Reese’s Pieces. Then to get the flavor of Reese’s Pieces, I made a ring of chocolate ganache on each macaron shell, then piped a […]
