BigFatBaker in Action

Today I am doing something kinda new for me…. Providing dessert for an event on campus!

That’s right. Your’s truly is hosting a dessert bar for the 7th Annual Elevator Pitch Competition. Check out the article about it here > READ ME.

Right now I am in the midst of trying to finish everything for it, so you’ll have to wait a few days for pictures on here. You can follow me on Twitter @bigfatbaker for updates during the event, or on Instagram for photos of the day.  But I promise to share them with you here as soon as I can.

Would you be interested in learning anything else about the event or what it takes to catering events? Let me know in the comments!

What are your plans for the weekend? Anything fun?

Strawberry Shortcake with Basil Whipped Cream {Guest Post from Culicurious}

Strawberry-Shortcake-with-Basil-Whipped-Cream

Hello everyone! Today I have my friend Addie here with a delicious guest post. Don’t forget to stop by her site, Culicurious.com to check out what I made for her! -BFB

Hi, my name is Addie Martin, and I’m the creative force behind Culicurious, a blog based on table-centered living. My main focus is recipes, but I also blog about restaurant, bar and travel experiences plus a little gardening. I’m thrilled to be here today sharing a recipe with all of you here at Big Fat Baker.

Since the new year’s upon us, many people have resolutions to eat better. I know that’s a constant goal of mine and something I am able to stick to pretty well…. most of the time! But every once in a while you need a break, an indulgence of sorts.

This recipe aims to fill that void – a strawberry shortcake made with minimal sugar and whole wheat pastry flour. Plus it’s topped with a fresh basil whipped cream. It’s sweet and rich without being “bad for you.” [Read more...]

Cherry Biscoff Blondies {Guest Post on The Baker Chick}

Biscoff Blondies

You know my friend Audra from The Baker Chick? (She is also the creator of my favorite group, Milk Bar Mondays)

Guess what…she got married this weekend! Hooray! So a few of us got together to do some guest post recipes for her.

I made these delicious blondies using one of my new favorite things, Biscoff spread. And because it’s the end of summer I threw in a few handfuls of chopped cherries.  While you’re there, you should definitely check out Krissy’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Shortbread Bars. They look amazing!

So stop by The Baker Chick today and get the recipe for this delicious end of summer dessert!

Today I am sharing another user submitted guest post with you on how to make a themed birthday cake! If you are interested in guest posting on BigFatBaker contact me here.

At some point in your life, you may want to make a themed birthday cake, whether it’s a dinosaur cake for a child’s party or another type of themed cake to make an adult’s party more festive.

Themed cakes require a little more effort to prepare than typical cakes. When you’re making a themed cake, you have to spend some extra time cutting the cake out into a fun shape and decorating the cake.

If you’re going to make a themed cake, here are some of the things you’ll probably need to do: 

1. Bake the cake – Pick out what flavor cake you want to bake based on the preferences of the recipient of the cake. If you want to make a simple, vanilla cake, you can try out this recipe:
