Blueberry Bacon Cinnamon Rolls

The Most Sinfully Rich Blueberry Bacon Cinnamon Bun Recipe

, , , , 3,826

I had a dream, a sweet dream. The dream was filled with soft melt-in-your-mouth bread with sweet cream, blueberries, and bacon. This is how I manifested my Blueberry Bacon Cinnamon Roll & I am sharing this dream with you. Enjoy! 

Shopping list

  • 1 cup blueberry
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar 
  • Cinnamon
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup of butter
  • One packet of active yeast
  • ¼ cup warm water 
  • 4-5 bacon
  • Vanilla extract
  • One package of 8-ounce cream cheese
  • ½ cup of powdered sugar 

Blueberry compote 

Mix 1 cup blueberry, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until the blueberries start to burst. Remove from the flame and set to the side. 

Wet Mixture 

Warm 1 cup of buttermilk and ¼ cup of butter until it melts. Too hot will kill the yeast and won’t activate your dough if it’s too hot. 

Mix the yeast and warm water in a bowl to another bowl with your flour and granulated sugar. Add in your wet mixture with one egg yolk. Cover with a warm tablecloth or warm paper towels to rise. 

Roll out your dough, and spread butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and some of the blueberry compote onto the dough. Roll it into a log and, with a knife, cut off slices. In a baking dish, turn the piece upward. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. 

Cinnamon Bun topping

Fry 4-5 strips of bacon until crispy and blot out any excess oil with a paper towel. Chop up the bacon.

In a small bowl with an electric hand mixer, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 3-4 tablespoons of milk or water until smooth. 

Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the hot cinnamon rolls and top with the chopped bacon. 

Serve

Note: If you don’t want to make the cinnamon roll, use the shortcut method a can of frozen Pillsbury Cinnamon Bun.

Why Cake Jars Are The Perfect Corporate Gift During The Covid 19 Pandemic

Why Cake Jars Are The Perfect Corporate Gift During The Covid 19 Pandemic

Corporate gift-giving year-round is a must! These presents are as much to show appreciation for your employees or coworkers’ hard work as they are a gesture of goodwill.

Going into 2022, we need goodwill and good vibes more than ever. Desserts embody both these qualities, which is why we’re here to tell you that gourmet cake jars are the perfect corporate gift to give during the covid 19 pandemic.

What Are Cake Jars?

Cake jars are glass mason jars filled to the brim with delectable layers of moist cake, creamy buttercream frosting, gooey ganache, and fruit toppings. They’re magical medleys of flavors that anyone can enjoy, including popular favorites like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.

Why Are Cake Jars The Perfect Corporate Gift?

Why would you want to gift these tasty treats to your employees? We’ve got five great reasons below.

1.     Cakes Are Crowd-Pleasers

Who doesn’t love cake? Most of us have precious childhood memories of eating it at birthday parties and special events. It’s like a dose of nostalgia in a small edible package.

Cake is also a versatile dessert: a professional baker can cater to the recipient’s flavor preferences and dietary restrictions, and still make it scrumptious to eat.

2.     Cake Jars Are Zero Waste

For our readers who want to give gifts without dipping into wasteful consumerism, cake jars are the ticket. They are completely zero waste: the inside is edible, and you can reuse the glass jar in an endless number of ways. Use it as a catch-all for paper clips at the office, or plant a tiny succulent to bring greenery to your cubicle. You can also take it home, wash it, and put your own homemade dessert inside to eat or regift!

3.     Cake Jars Are Sanitary And Covid-Safe

Cake jars are a sanitary and covid-safe gift. At our bakery, we adhere to the latest recommendations made by the local New York City government, the CDC, and the FDA to ensure utmost safety for our customers and minimize the transmission of covid. Furthermore, the cake jar is already sealed when you buy it, and the only person who will touch or breathe on the cake after you purchase it is the person you gift it to.

4.     Cake Jars Are Customizable

If you really want to express your appreciation for the employees at your company, you can customize each cake jar with a label. The label can show the recipient’s name or a special word that you feel describes their personality.

5.     Cake Jars Are Shippable

Shipping cakes? Yes, it’s possible with cake jars. They’re sealed when you order them, so you can send them to your company offices around New York City, or even around the country. This way every employee feels appreciated.

10 Ways To Celebrate Valentine’s Day In 2022

10 Ways To Celebrate Valentine’s Day In 2022

Valentine’s Day in 2022 is coming up, and you may be wondering how you can celebrate it with your lover in the middle of a global pandemic in New York City. You may not think you can mark the day at all, what with covid 19 lockdowns and restaurant capacity limits.

But here’s a little secret: with a little creativity, not even covid 19 can stop you from enjoying this day of passion and romance with your favorite person in the world.

Here are 10 wonderful ways you can safely celebrate Valentine’s Day in 2022.

1.     Picnic In The Backyard

Your backyard is not exactly Central Park, but it’s as good as the finest park in the world when you’re picnicking with someone you love. Spread out a large blanket and prepare your lover’s favorite foods and beverages. Pack the food in sealed containers and use paper or plastic dinnerware to make cleanup as easy as pie. Be sure to pick a shady spot if you’re picnicking while the sun is up. When it starts to get dark, set out the battery or solar-powered lights for some romantic illumination.

The best part about having a picnic in your backyard is if you forget something, or if you decide you want to quickly move on from eating to more intimate activities, your home is just a few steps away.

2.     Buy Cake Jars For Two

Our jars filled with scrumptious cake are the perfect Valentine’s desserts. They’re easy to hold in one hand, they contain the mess, and you can reuse them later.

But of course, we can’t forget about the star of the whole show which is the cake. This indulgent treat will arouse all your senses and act as the perfect bookend (or prelude) to a divine date. Choose from tantalizing flavors such as rich dark chocolate (which, incidentally, is an aphrodisiac), layered with creamy buttercream and ganache.

3.     Take A Day Trip Or Weekend Getaway

Sometimes it’s good to just get away for a romantic day trip or weekend. Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to escape all the stress happening around you. It doesn’t matter where you go: you can drive to a nearby town to shop and try new foods, book a room in a hotel in a part of New York City you’ve never been in before, or fly to an exotic faraway destination. What matters more is that you relax and enjoy your time with your special someone.

4.     Hire A Photographer To Capture Special Moments

The special moments you share with your loved one on Valentine’s Day are worth remembering forever. Make it easier to recall them by hiring a photographer to capture all the highlights of your day. Go on your date, to the park, a favorite neighborhood, or even out into the backyard, and ask your photographer to snap away while you and your lover enjoy yourselves. Try not to pose too much; let the photographer get candid shots of your soft touches, smiles, and laughter.

When the photos are ready, print them and display them in an album. Then give the album to your lover as a token of your sweet regard.

5.     Book A Day Spa

Nothing says “I love you” like gifting your lover with a relaxing day at the spa. I personally recommend Brooklyn Bathhouse in Williamsburg. Book a double appointment there or at the spa of your choice so you can both enjoy relaxing massages, facials, thermal pools, saunas, and much more.

6.     Hire A Chef Or Play Chef For The Day

Another relaxing way to spend your Valentine’s Day is to hire a chef to do all the cooking for you. Or, if you like playing chef yourself, take over the kitchen and prepare a scrumptious meal for the two of you made with love. Whichever you decide to do, your thoughtfulness and caring heart will shine through the food.

7.     Take A Cooking Or Baking Class Together

Are you and your loved one foodies? Take a cooking or baking class together so you can make delicious meals and desserts for one another throughout the year. At my bakery, I offer some fantastic classes where I can teach you all my best kitchen tricks and tips one-on-one or with a larger group.

8.     Plan A Group Date

Speaking of groups, maybe you and your significant other have missed going out with your friends since the pandemic started. If that’s the case, why not turn Valentine’s Day into a group date opportunity? Plan a meal and an activity, such as playing board games or watching a romantic film, that you can all enjoy together.

9.     Donate To A Domestic Violence Shelter

On Valentine’s Day, it’s good to remember that not everyone is as blessed as you and your special person. Take this day as an opportunity to donate money, time, or toiletries to a domestic violence shelter, so that women and children that are suffering there can feel the love of the day, too.

10.  Schedule A Baking Class Via Zoom For Your Staff

If you own a company and you want to show your appreciation for your staff with Valentine’s Day gifts, schedule a Zoom baking class! This way all your employees, in the office or working remotely, can let off some steam and learn to create something yummy and heartwarming.

How will you spend your Valentine’s Day? We hope you spend at least part of it with us! Come visit us to try our mouth-watering cake jars and book an exciting cooking or baking class for you and your boo.

How to make Whipped Cream

, , , 1,505

I love whipped cream, but I love it more on my cake! Whipped Cream looks intimidating however it’s one of the most simple recipes you will ever work with. For clarity, I used a specialty brand vanilla extract that has traces of vanilla bean intensifying the taste. It takes less than 15 minutes to make this cream.

Recipe:

1 Pint of Heavy Cream or Heavy Whipping Cream

2 Tablespoons of Vanilla Extract

1 Immersion stick or handheld mixer

1 stainless steel or ceramic bowl

You can refrigerate the whipped cream for up to 7 days covered with a lid.

Top 4 Wedding Cake Trends

Top 4 2022 Wedding Cake Trends

When you shop for Bronx wedding cakes or Westchester wedding cakes in 2022, you’ll probably see many of the same trending styles. From sugar pearls to rustic buttercream, we’ve got the top 4 2022 wedding cake trends to help you plan the perfect “in” dessert for your nuptials.

1.     White Sugar Pearls

You’d be surprised at the effect that white sugar pearls can have on a cake. With just a few crisscrossing your tiers, the cake will be elevated from simple to elegant. You can use them on just about any color of frosting or fondant, even white! But if you want to stray away from traditional white, try a darker, cooler color so the pearls will pop.

2.     Sweet and Simple

Most people go for height and glam when it comes to their wedding cakes (and their wedding gowns, too). But if you’re having a small or informal reception, you can get away with a sweet and simple cake.

In the days after the covid 19 pandemic, many brides and grooms want to emphasize the experience of a wedding rather than spend extravagantly on the little things, like cake. Consider asking your baker to design a simple cake with smooth buttercream or a crumb coat if this is you. Ask them to pipe on edge, perhaps in a different color from the base, to add interest. Add a flower or topper to the top, or nothing at all, and let the cake speak for itself.

Your guests will appreciate the elegance of a sweet and simple cake, and they won’t love the taste any less for it not being a spectacle.

3.     Rustic

A rustic cake in the urban jungle of New York City? Why not?

You and your baker can play with the meaning of “rustic” in several different ways. The cake can be frosted on to look like the bark of a tree. It could also be scraped across the sides of the tiers so that it’s just barely there. You may not even want any buttercream or fondant at all on the outside! Add a few sprigs of greens or flowers to complete the outdoor vibe.

4.     Individually Packaged Mini Cakes

Going into 2022, some brides and grooms in New York City will naturally be concerned about spreading covid 19 at weddings. They may want to take advantage of a new trend where instead of serving one large cake, they serve individually wrapped cakes for their guests to eat.

The beauty of handing out individual cakes is that your guests can eat them during the reception or take them home if you decide to forgo a reception entirely.  That way, everyone still gets to enjoy a delicious dessert custom-made to the couple’s taste preferences.

Conclusion: Simple Is The Trend For 2022

Everyone has had a challenging year, with covid 19 lockdowns and many couples being forced to postpone their weddings.

For your 2022 reception, don’t stress too much about the appearance of your cake. The forecasted trends are tasteful yet straightforward, with a surprising amount of wiggle room for elegant, rustic, and sweet styles.

2 Key Ingredients for Baking the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie

2 Key Ingredients For Baking The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie

Did you know that chocolate chip is the most popular cookie flavor in the United States? For good reason! They combine a scrumptious melt-in-your-mouth texture with a golden brown, slightly crispy top, and melted chocolatey goodness in every bite.
But don’t make the mistake of thinking that all chocolate chip cookies are created equal! There’s plenty of ways to do it wrong, but there’s just one way to do it right.
By incorporating just two key ingredients into your batter, you’ll turn your chocolate chip cookies from “okay” to absolutely divine.

  1. European Butter

When you go to the store and you pick out butter sticks for baking, sometimes you don’t even get true dairy butter. Some of the sticks we buy at the store – Country Crock is a popular example – are made with vegetable or soybean oil, not milk. This mixture is not as fatty, but it’s also not as spreadable or flavorful.
In many cases, the dairy butter you buy at the store only contains 80 percent butterfat. This means it doesn’t contain as much saturated fat, which reduces the flavor and creaminess.
That’s why when you’re making chocolate chip cookies or any kind of baked dessert, I highly recommend using European butter.
European butter is churned longer to reach at least 82 percent butterfat. The result is a richer, better-tasting spread that will elevate your cookies to a whole new level of smooth deliciousness.
Another great thing about European butter is that it’s not the type of butter shoppers and bakers usually reach for. During the covid 19 pandemic when the grocery stores ran out of unsalted butter, I gave the European style a try. It absolutely changed my outlook on this ingredient. Now I use it all the time to mix up the perfect cookie and buttercream frosting.

  1. High Quality Chocolate Chips

Chocolate lovers will agree that chips are the most important ingredient in chocolate chip cookies. You don’t want to skimp out on it, meaning you shouldn’t settle for a cheap brand.
To make the best chocolate chip cookies you’ve ever eaten, you must purchase high-quality chocolate chips. Brands like Guittard, Ghiradelli, Valrhona, and Callebaut make their chocolate with a higher ratio of pure cocoa butter, which is what gives it its beautiful shine and that satisfying snap when you break a piece of it. They also melt easily and become perfectly gooey while the cookies bake.
Personally, I recommend using Valrhona Couverture dark chocolate chips or sea salt chocolate chips. It’s made with simple yet high-quality ingredients: cocoa liquor, sugar, cocoa butter, and vanilla. The taste is sweet and rich, and the texture is smooth.
The only downside to Valrhona Couverture is it is quite expensive. It’s also not easy to get: you need to go to a specialty store like Sue La Table or Williams-Sonoma to find it. You should also be aware that it must be tempered before you can use it for things like candy bars or dipping cake pops or fruit.
Guittard and Ghiradelli are a little more affordable, and you can usually find them in your local grocery store.

Conclusion: These Two Simple Ingredients Will Change Your Baking Forever

When it comes to baking, I’ve learned as a professional that spending more money on high-quality ingredients allows me to create the perfect cookie. Use European butter and chocolate with a high ratio of cocoa butter for your next batch, and see for yourself how much better it turns out!

Alice’s Lemon Cake

, , , 1

Alice’s Lemon Cake

In the fall of 2013, I became a Wilton Method Instructor (WMI) for Micheal’s Arts & Craft Store in Woodside, New York. Before returning to NYC, I was a WMI for Joann’s Fabric Store in Snellville, GA. This was a very transformational, shifting moment in my life. But the students in my class brought me the joy, connection, and love that I needed at that time, which strengthened my role as an instructor. 

Within the class, I met some incredible students who really influenced me, both personally and professionally. Yunmi, Khadija, Mae, and Alice were the girl gang that I needed. They were always so joyful, happy, and were overall authentically good souls.

One day while I was teaching the class how to stack and fill their cakes with buttercream, Alice walked in with a lemon cake. The entire class became silent as the aroma of Alice’s cake filled the air, and I was so intrigued with the essence of her cake as well. She knew how much of an impact her cake had, so at the end of the week, Alice slipped me the recipe to her Lemon cake. She said, “Teacher, I saw the smile on your face the entire time I decorated the cake the other day. This is for you”.

To this day, I still feel so honored to have received her recipe. Though Alice bought some cake decorating supplies in bulk and decided to return back to the Philippines with no success in contacting her since, Yunmi, Mae, Khadija, and I pray that she is well.

Alice’s Lemon Cake

  • 2 ¾ Cups All-Purpose Flour sifted
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 2 Cups granulated sugar
  • 6 Whole eggs
  • 1 Fresh Squeezed lemon
  • 2 Tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Set the oven to 325 degrees

Directions: Combine the unsalted butter and eggs beat on high until light and fluffy. Add the granulated sugar and continue to beat on high. Add the lemon extract, lemon zest, and vanilla. Mix all of the dry ingredients in a separate bowl such as the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and pour it into two 8 inches round baking pans.  Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

This recipe yields two dozen cupcakes.

Sugar Artists having fun….

, , , , , , , , 0

For almost a year, I was trying to gather like minded individuals from the cake community to get together, have fun, and give back to our community. It has been quite a challenge.  I had large project with a non-profit organization I was hoping to execute however it didn’t flourish. I’ve learned another lesson about friendships among sugar artists. No worries.

Rae Sremmurd’s Black Beatles became the soundtrack for the viral sensation Mannequin Challenge. As usual, my head exploded with a fun filled ideas and the Sugar Artist Mannequin challenge evolved. I contacted the lovely and talented Lisa Mansour of New York Cake pitching my idea. She loved it and agreed for us to use her cake studio. Awesome!

I put out a call to action in various cake groups pitching the idea and asking for people to join in. I set the date and made sure I had enough data on my phone. Of course, the flu season entered and even the lovely Lisa Mansour wasn’t able to participate. What started as a party of 20 dropped to a party of 5. We didn’t care how many of us showed up we were going to make it happen and have a darn good time and we did.

A huge shout out to Sugar Artist Luquana McGriff, Prince Freddie, Natasha Jagopat, and Yunmi Katie Ham. We rocked it,had fun, and breaked bread together!
