I'm obsessed with Bake Time, a new @nytimes.com Cooking newsletter. Our monthly bakes have included cranberry-cookie butter cheesecake (!!!) and boozy apple crunch cake. I shrunk both down to personal size because less is more. Posting today for National Cake Day. 1/2

#nationalpeanutday reminds me of my first time at a Sprinkles bakery. I ordered peanut butter chocolate chip and red velvet #cupcakes. I love that the former is made with natural peanut butter, as per the SPRINKLES BAKING BOOK recipe. 📸: Sprinkles www.facebook.com/share/1Gmpg3...

This 🧁 isn't gratuitous, it's gratis. Edible Arrangements introduced #cupcakes in the spring. There's a one-day offer on 9/9, reportedly the most common birthday in the U.S. Birthday celebrants can show ID and say offer code CUPCAKE99 to receive a free cupcake. 📷: Edible Arrangements

I didn't time travel, but I did visit The Cookie Odyssey. I got two versions of chocolate chip, plus friends to diversify the party. Such a charming little bakery that flaunts its good manners. 2/3
