Baker, blogger, and lover of simple recipes with big results. 🍰 Sharing sweet treats from Bake or Break since 2006. Let's make baking fun and easy!
If you love the cozy kind of cake that’s easy to make but looks bakery-worthy, this German Apple Cake is for you. Apples on top, buttery crumb underneath, and a little lemon + almond for balance. One of my new favorites 🍏

This no-fuss caramel swirl Bundt cake is soft, buttery, and perfect with a cup of coffee. It has a brown sugar-caramel ribbon baked right in and an optional glaze to take it over the top.

These homemade cosmic brownies took me straight back to elementary school. dense, chewy, topped with ganache and those rainbow chips that make everything feel festive.

Filed under: things I didn’t know I needed until I made them from scratch. 🍫🌈

Silky custard, rich vanilla flavor, and make-ahead convenience. These Vanilla Bean Pots de Crème are the dessert I love making on repeat.

New on the blog: Cornmeal Pound Cake!

Rich, buttery, and just a little rustic thanks to fine cornmeal and buttermilk.
So good with fruit, cream, or on its own.

It’s too hot to bake, but that doesn’t mean skipping dessert. These mini no-bake cheesecakes are cool, creamy, and just the right size for sharing… if you’re feeling generous. 😉

I’m all about the lemon this week, and these cupcakes hit just right. Light, bright, and topped with a lemon cream cheese frosting I’d happily eat with a spoon.

This Five Flavor Pound Cake has that old-school charm I love. Sweet, buttery, and packed with vanilla, almond, coconut, lemon, and rum. The sugar crust doesn’t hurt either. Definitely one for the keepers list.
