crack pie
in case you were wondering, the going rate for a 10″ round of crack seems to be $44, plus the cost of fedex overnight shipping {insert mitch hedberg joke here}, unless you live in nyc. then it’s $44, plus tax, & is available for pickup in midtown, the east village, the upper west side & [...]
peach crumb bars
i made a version of these bars last summer & while they tasted good, the crust was way too soft & crumbly. kind of defeats the purpose of a bar dessert if you have to eat it up with a plate & fork, don’t you think? these peach crumb bars have the buttery flavor of a [...]

red {hot pink!} velvet cupcakes
