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?

Chocolate Malt Layer Cake {Milk Bar Monday 2/18}

February 18, 2013 By bigfatbaker 10 Comments

I’m going to keep this short and sweet because this recipe looks daunting enough as it is!

Jacqueline originally picked a chocolate to have in her recipe arsenal. Since this one is challenging to make gluten free/dairy free she asked me to post the original recipe. I gladly obliged.

Jacqueline is ah-mazing and made this cake gluten free so if you know someone with a food allergy, they can still enjoy the cake! Check out her gluten free cake recipe here!

We have a small group this week. Me, Audra over at The Baker Chick, and Jacqueline.

Don’t forget to check out our Pinterest page with pictures of all our past Milk Bar Monday recipes.

Like I said, this recipe looks daunting all typed up. But each component is fairly quick to make on its own, so the process isn’t too time consuming.

My notes on the recipe:

I wanted the middle layer to be laden with fudge so I used 1/4 of the recipe in each step, and I saved the fudge used to make the cake to pour over my finished product. [Read more...]

Blueberries & Cream Cookies {Milk Bar Monday 1/28}

January 28, 2013 By bigfatbaker 8 Comments

Happy Monday! The Milk Bar Monday ladies are back at it this week and have a special recipe for you (and our last Milk Bar cookie recipe!) the blueberries and cream cookies.

I first tried the blueberries and cream cookie when I was in NYC in September. I dragged my family to the location in midtown to fulfill my Milk Bar dreams.

While in the actual store I decided to make it worth my while. I got one of each cookie available (the blueberries & cream, compost, corn, and cornflake), a slice of crack pie and a cup of the kaffir lime and caramel soft serve… I wasn’t holding anything back. [Read more...]

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

January 11, 2013 By bigfatbaker 2 Comments

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...]
