Cranberry Bundt Cake
The best desserts for hosting, especially around the holidays, are ones that function as decor throughout the day as well. Of course you can choose to bake this in a loaf pan or traditional cake pan, but as a bundt it looks like a beautiful edible wreath! This glazed cake will remain moist at room temperature for at least 3 days so it’s an easy one to check off your to do list in advance. Tart fresh cranberries and zesty orange flavor balance the rich warm spices of SKORDO Masala Chai so nicely.
Ginger Spiced Yule Log
Norway is actually the birthplace of the Yule Log, designed as a way to celebrate the solstice. This technique for sponge cakes is so much less intimidating than it looks and can be filled with so many different flavors!
Rosemary Juniper Shortbread Cookies
This new New England Desserts cookbook has led us to some of the coziest bakes this season - all full of local flavors! Juniper is a delightful piney + peppery addition to these rosemary herbed cookies. Since this dough requires some chilling time, you can absolutely start making them now and leave the parchment log in the freezer until you start hosting this holiday season - making for an easy slice + bake later on.
Snacking Cake | Runamok Hibiscus Honey
Snacking Cakes- baked with the goal of sitting on your kitchen counter getting nibbled on all day long until it's gone. Ideal for break rooms, hostess gifts, and pick-me-ups. With the casual nature of enjoying this cake, we're going to mix it in a food processor for easy clean up. Runamok's Hibiscus Honey is the perfect way to welcome spring.
Vanilla Swiss Buttercream
We are thrilled to be expanding our baking ingredient collection! If you haven't experienced vanilla bean paste yet, you are in for a treat. This concentrated, molasses-like paste is made from pure Madagascar Vanilla beans and is the best way to get beautiful vanilla flakes in your frosting without having to use a whole bean.
Maple Orange Caramel Popcorn
This is the perfect family treat after a day in the snow! The maple and orange flavors add a fun pop of flavor.
Spicy Chocolate Truffles
Chocolate truffles with a spicy kick? The perfect valentines day treat. These can easily be made with kiddos, or as a date night in with your valentine. Chocolate truffles are just flavored, shaped, balls of ganache. But ganache can be many things. You may have had ganache as a whipped frosting, a thick filling, or dripped on the side of a cake. Each of these are made the same, with chocolate + heavy cream. What changes is the ratio, this controls the fluidity of the ganache once it’s set.
Spiced Cinnamon Rolls
I've never met a soul who didn't drool over the middle of a cinnamon roll. The gooey, sticky, aromatic chunk of buttery dough makes all of the prep + rising time worth it. There are so many ways to go about a cinnamon roll, or any yeasted doughs. These sorts of recipes can seem overwhelming, with rising and proofing and science and temperature to worry about--fear not, you can make the dough work to YOUR schedule.
Smoked Bourbon Barrel Aged Sea Salt Caramels
Chewy, Salty, Sweet, Smoky...sign me up! These caramel candies are a perfect little treat. SKORDO Bourbon Barrel Aged Sea Salt is a fan favorite, no surprise with its gorgeous flake + captivating smoky flavor. Utilizing the salt as a garnish allows the flake to be highlighted and the sweetness of the caramels to be balanced by an initial salty crunch. A candy thermometer is key here, but you'll learn to see visual cues if you make them often! A quick wrap in wax paper turn these into authentic-looking + adorable handmade gifts!
Savory Maple Granola
Created as part of our Edible Gift Guide- this granola is a fun way to challenge the suggestions on the jars, and enjoy your favorite blends any time of day. I've said it 600 times + I'll continue to find joy in saying it--there is NO salmon in the SKORDO Maple Salmon Rub.
Posy Sugar Cookies
I live for a 'make once, bake all season long' recipe. This sugar cookie dough will keep for 2 months in the freezer, so save yourself the time + make a big batch sooner than later! While I'm aiming for a holiday theme here, this dough is perfect for any shapes or sprinkles throughout the year.
Pecan Pie with Orange Zest + Smoked Cherrywood Sea Salt
Talk about elevated flavors! During a recent road trip with my partner, we got talking holiday traditions and must-have-at-the-table favorites. I decided I'd be happy to never see sweet potatoes with broiled marshmallows ever again, but wouldn't consider it a Thanksgiving without pie.
