Chocolate Péjoy Banana Rum Cake Pops

Bananas flambé flavors tease the senses with these grownups only rum infused cake pops! Crushed and chopped chocolate cream filled Péjoy biscuit sticks make the bite-sized cakes even more special!  Even if you don't have cake pop forms, you can make scrumptious mini cakes and muffins with the Ninja Baker's Chocolate Péjoy Banana Rum Cake recipe. 

Valentine Croquembouche

Light, airy cream puffs filled with Japanese plum wine cream will set any heart skipping with joy.....whether it's Valentine's Day or not!

Adapted from my dance classmate, Betty's recipe for cream puffs.

Greek Bread

Olives, feta cheese and Greek yogurt swirled into a basic sweet dough gives way to a simple but satisfying bread. After a whir in the bread maker machine, the sliced olives create a pleasant nutty sort of crunch.

Chocolate Velvet Cupcakes, Browned Butter Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

Chocolate Velvet Cupcakes are chocolatier than the standard Southern red velvet cake. But, just as moist and light...And maybe even more delicious when topped with Browned Butter Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting.

The recipes are adapted from Southern Living's The Southern Cake Book.

Almond Butter Cookies

Does your wish list for 2015 include eating in a healthier fashion? Say, hello to almond butter. (See my post notes to find out why.)  Straight from the jar or baked into a cookie, almond butter is awesome! (Do believe the younger people in my life have influenced my vocabulary choices!)

Chocolate Pocky Cake and Chocolate Buttercream

A smooth chocolaty cake blends with whipped cream. Crumbled Pocky gives the dessert a pleasant surprise crunch...Nuts are great additions to cake...But, Pocky is better! 

The recipes are closely adapted from Ghirardelli's Grand Fudge Cake and Chocolate Buttercream recipes.

Japanese White Bread

A crunchy golden crust gives way to soft bread. This white bread is very enjoyable with butter, a dollop of jam and coffee. If you want to replicate Japanese pizza toast, melt a few strips of white cheese and a fresh tomato slice or two.

Reduced Sugar Donuts

This New Year brings in one of what I hope many yummy but healthier goodies. The Ninja Baker's reduced sugar donuts are truly delicious...Added bonus: The donuts are gluten-free, too!

Yields 42 mini donuts. The toppings will each cover 12 mini donuts.

Paleo Pound Cake

Garnished with Paleo diet approved fruit or plain, this pound cake is surprisingly similar in flavor to Sara Lee! The texture is slightly more layer-cake like but that's good, too. Right?
