Birthday Layer Cake {Milk Bar Monday 6/18}

June 18, 2012 By bigfatbaker 19 Comments

Hello everyone! I hope you have been enjoying the guest post recipes this week. I know I have!

Today we are taking a little break… I am back at it with our next Milk Bar Monday installment! Our host for today was Audra and she chose the Birthday Layer Cake.

Christina Tosi’s goal with this recipe was to recreate the funfetti boxed cake mix flavors in her own way.

The bf & I thought her recipe was spot on. We both loved the cake crumb layers in with the frosting layers. It reminded me of when I used to get the crunch layer in my DQ ice cream cake.

Compared to some of our past recipes I thought this was a relatively easy one. I was able to get it all done in one go and freeze it overnight.

You can easily make this at home (with the help of a cake ring) and impress your loved ones on their next birthday.

Grasshopper Pie {Milk Bar Monday 6/4}

June 4, 2012 By bigfatbaker 14 Comments

It’s time for another Milk Bar Monday!

I am really starting to love mondays…aren’t you?

This week’s recipe was chosen by Nicole of Sweet Peony.

In the book Christina talks about how she wishes she could have made it work with the liquid cheesecake.

But I liked the sweet and minty flavor of the filling. It wasn’t overwhelmingly cream cheesy.

The final product is a dense brownie in a graham cracker crust with a layer of creamy mint filling separating the two.

Recipe note: I had to bake my pie an additional 5 minutes. I also refrigerated the pie overnight before slicing into it. [Read more...]

Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies {Milk Bar Monday 5/21}

May 21, 2012 By bigfatbaker 21 Comments

You know what day it is…Milk Bar Monday!

Today our host is Averie of Averie Cooks and she picked the Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies.

So far, this is my favorite cookie recipe we have made from the book. The Compost & Confetti Cookies were definitely delicious, but the cornflake cookies were buttery and not too sweet. I couldn’t get enough of them!

They reminded me of a rice crispy treat and chocolate chip cookie combined.

I was particularly fond of the cornflake crunch. It was buttery, crunchy and strangely addictive.

Compost Cookies {Milk Bar Monday 4/23}

April 23, 2012 By bigfatbaker 24 Comments

What does the word compost usually make you think of?

Not cookies…right?

Well from now on, it should! Why? Because these are some of the best cookies out there.

Miss Tosi has done it again. Her wonderful book, Momofuku Milk Bar, constantly challenges my baking beliefs. I’m not sure if any one recipe has as much as this, though.

What kind of cookie have you ever tasted includes things like ground coffee, pretzels, potato chips, and butterscotch chips? Not to mention usual things butter, flour, oats, and chocolate chips.

Before you click away in disgust or give me the same doubtful look my mom did, hear me out! The coffee is subtle (even when I doubled the amount called for), the chips add some saltiness (otherwise you wouldn’t have known they were there), and the pretzels offer some body and crunch.

The best part of this recipe is it’s created for adaptations. It’s meant to use up the odds and ends in your cupboard. No chocolate chips? Use m&m’s instead. The possibilities are only as limited as your cupboard!
