Have you ever had a churro before? It’s a giant stick of fried dough with tons of cinnamon sugar on it. It’s different from zepoles and funnel cakes because it’s more dense and has a thicker outer crust. I get my churro craving satisfied at Costco. It’s just one dollar for about 1½ feet of […]
After hearing about Christia Tosi’s amazing creations for years, I finally had the opportunity to go to a Momofuku Milk Bar last weekend. Everything sounded delicious but I had three things I just had to try: 1) crack pie 2) cereal milk soft serve with cornflake crunch 3) corn cookie They were all good but […]
I love ice cream. In high school, I used to eat an entire pint of ice cream in one sitting without blinking an eye. It was a habit that quickly stopped once I started counting calories in college. Yes the number of calories scared me, but I didn’t love it any less. One of my […]
Here comes Peter Cottontail, Hoppin’ down the bunny trail… was the song that was running through my head when I thought of this cake. Can you imagine the look of surprise people will give you when you cut into this? Unfortunately for me, my family saw every step of the assembly and expected it when I […]

I believe that most of the world is split between two factions: chocolate and vanilla. You love one more than the other. But then there is a small cluster of us who like them all: chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. We stand in front of grocery freezers and ice cream parlors for minutes on end trying […]
Two years ago, I bought a Jello egg mold with grand hopes that it will mold and form beautiful rainbow-striped Jello eggs. After mixing endless bowls of different flavored Jello, the project flopped terribly. The eggs didn’t set properly and I ended up with shattered Jello eggs that wouldn’t hold their shape. I called it […]
Did you ever eat something so delicious that you make an excuse to eat it again? That’s what kind of happened with these pie cookies. You see, I made these adorable pie pops for Pi Day and they rocked my socks. The only problem was they were too small. One bite and you were done. […]
When I came across a package of edible grass at Target, a passage from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by Roald Dahl was the first thing that came into my mind: “The grass you’re standing on, my dear little ones, is made of a new kind of soft, minty sugar that I’ve just invented! I […]
