HOLIDAY BAKES
Hi, I'm Samantha,
and welcome to my deliciously indulgent food blog. I am a self- taught baker that has been exploring, creating and perfected some of your sweetest sugared-kneads!
Samantha Favorites
LEMON BAR BUTTER CAKE
The cake of everyones dreams- the best spring & summer dessert that will have everyone at your dinner parties raving about. A butter cake topped with lemon bar filling is exactly what this is. A butter, moist, soft lemon cake (instead of your typical shortbread crust) with a gooey lemony, zesty, sweet, delicious lemon bar
S’MORES CAMPFIRE KRISPY TREAT BARS
Rice Krispie Treats are everyone’s favorite past time snack. I remember the first time I ever made homemade rice krispie treats with my grandma, one summer, and the sticky, crunchy, crispy contrasting textures with every bite was so delicious. Adding different flavors and cereal to come up with to enjoy was always the best part.
RED VELVET BROWNIES (SMALL BATCH)
My favorite dessert, and quite honestly my go-to dessert that I make more often than not are…. brownies. Since they are a rich decadent dessert that is extremely fudgy and full of chocolate flavor; I am always looking for ways to make them more interesting and add different elements – textures, add-ins, flavors, colors etc.
BEST VANILLA CUPCAKES
October 1, 2022
Cupcake recipes are my favorite and the easiest to tell when testing recipes if they are good or not. Also, my favorite to test because I love cupcakes and get to try so many. I worked on this recipe for weeks if not months just to have the perfect moist, light, airy, fluffy tender vanilla
WHOOPIE PIE
September 30, 2022
Whoopie pies are the best of both worlds, two cakey pieces put together and filled with a vanilla buttercream. It’s almost like eating the tops of two cupcakes with some frosting in between. Which, by the way, is the best way to eat a cupcake – breaking the bottom half off and putting it upside
PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE
September 26, 2022
Pumpkin Cheesecake is a classic dessert but definitely has some strong potent flavors to it – cream cheese, tart, some bitter and sweet notes, but oh so good! I can not wait every year for fall to come around specifically for pumpkin cheesecakes to be available at all my favorite bakeries. The very first time
SNICKERDOODLES
September 25, 2022
Basically a sugar cookie coated in cinnamon sugar, which I can’t even complain about because that always sounds incredible. It top five favorite cookies of mine, alongside a classic chocolate chip, cookies and cream, peanut butter chocolate chip & chocolate crinkle cookies. As long as one of these are present, there is not guarantee there
THE BEST CINNAMON ROLLS
September 19, 2022
THE BEST CINNAMON ROLLS you’ll ever have. They’re pillowy soft, fluffy and have so much delicious flavor when topped with a cream cheese frosting. I have another cinnamon roll recipe on here which most people probably won’t be able to tell the difference, but these I knead by hand and the dough is less dense
PUMPKIN STREUSEL MUFFINS
September 13, 2022
I love fall, it is easily my favorite time of year, and that is simply because of the desserts, bakes and treats that are seasonal. One of which is pumpkin! Although pumpkin is sold year round in a puree form, it only feels right to bring the cans in the fall. Something about this time
RED VELVET COOKIES
September 11, 2022
There are probably tons of people that would disagree with me about Red Velvet desserts, but they are the absolute best. Some may strongly dislike them and some may even not see the point saying it is just chocolate that is dyed with red food coloring. I would disagree, and although technically they are correct
