Saturday Sweets: Meringue Nests

Happy Saturday! Thank you all so much for your book recommendations on my Book Review post – I can’t wait to read so many of them, and I was also thrilled to learn I’m not the only crazy who reads cookbooks for relaxing entertainment!  The winner of the free book is… #13 – Arenda Congratulations […]

First on the First: Eclairs!

First on the First: Eclairs!

Our power goes out at the most inconvenient times. Like last night, when I was trying to {finally} get started on a 4000 word paper that I naturally left myself two nights to complete.  Last night was also when I was planning to write this post and, when our power goes, so does our internet.  […]

Saturday Sweets: Lemon Cupcakes with Blackberry Buttercream

Happy Saturday, friends! I’m thrilled it’s Saturday because that means I’m one day closer to Monday, when I’ll have a kitchen countertop again! I knew I loved cooking and baking but never really realized how much of my day it ate up until it was gone.  These past 3-ish weeks have seen some looooong days. […]

Saturday Sweets: Lemon Raspberry Squares

I’ve been holding out  on you. And, I’m sorry. I have been meaning to post these deliciously amazing squares for ages, but the world has seemed to be against me. Well, that, and my love for them. You see, it seems they never seemed to stick around long enough for me to be able to […]

1 Year and a Rainbow Layer Cake!

Well, it’s officially been 1 year since Hidden Ponies went live! That one year has turned this blog from a whim into a seriously fun, if time consuming, hobby, and has gotten us more inspired by food than ever!  We’ve moved to a self-hosted site, changed from a one-woman band to a two-woman spectacular, and […]

Saturday Sweets: Cookie Dough Truffles

Saturday Sweets: Cookie Dough Truffles

Alright ladies, lock your cupboards before you read this recipe. I have to admit that I love cookie dough. It’s just one of those things. I would probably eat cookie dough rather than have an actual cookie. The only thing that puts me off just a touch is the raw egg factor. Wait a minute. […]

“Why Women Need Fat” and Dark Chocolate Mousse Recipe

Fluffy Homemade Marshmallows

Fluffy Homemade Marshmallows

Happy New Year! My resolution: keep trying new things in the kitchen. Done and done. This year should be a breeze! I never thought I would be able to say, “I made homemade marshmallows”. But then again, I never really thought much about it at all. I have other things to think about. Like cheese. […]
