Joy the Baker on Rewind
Written by joythebaker on October 16, 2009 – 1:34 am -
This time last year I was up to all sorts of mischief in the kitchen.
Don’t believe me? Well check out the Blood and Bones above. Red hot chocolate with bone shaped meringues? Sinister.
How about this Butterscotch Pudding with Bourbon Whipped Cream. One tablespoon of bourbon for the whipped cream…. five tablespoons of bourbon for my belly. Please. Thank you.
Then there’s the Carrot Cake Pancakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Spread. Cake and frosting for breakfast. Sure, I can call them pancakes. Yes, I added a vegetable… but seriously… this is just good old fashioned cake before noon. I say do it!
It’s Friday friends! What sort of mischief are you going to get up to in the kitchen this weekend?

After seeing your past mischiefs my plans seem to be very non-mischievous.. But my semi-mischievous plans for this weekend are brandy-infused chocolate cupcakes with a yet unchosen cream on top, and all sorts of chocolate bits and breaks on top of those. And if they turn out nice – yes, I will have one (two) for breakfast on Saturday.
This weekend I am making pita bread, and my Daring Bakers challenge. Both yum!
I am going to attempt some of my grandmother’s pie crust. And maybe that butterscotch pudding above!
My birthday is in a just over a week, and I am totally making the “blood and bones” for my party. Other than that…I’ll just be taking my daughter warm weather clothes shopping at a few consignment stores, stopping for a cupcake along the way. Nothing too mischievous!
This weekend I’ll be making a trip to (almost final) Farmer’s market to pick up apples for my Mom’s apple cake and squash for a pumpkin soup. We’re also making baguettes and chicken stock just to keep out of trouble!
I’m baking an egg liqueur cake, and tomorrow a chocolate and pears cake for a friend’s dinner party.
Don’t worry, I always give away most of my cakes to friends and family!
Have fun!
This weekend is my sister’s baby shower — not a regular baby shower. She wanted us to organize a Toga Tea Party for her. I have a whole lineup of greek inspired finger food. Anything from pita and greek dips, to mini souvlakis and one-bite greek salad. It’s going to be crazy!
I will be baking my husbands birthday cake, which is triple chocolate cake, whipped white chocolate ganache filling and caramel buttercream covered in chocolate fondant. And of course he would want something difficult so it will be in the shape of a cigar.
I’ve had bad coughs so there’s not much i can do(especially those that are chocolate related!
hate it!), however, i am making pancakes from scratch for breakfast tomorrow though! I’m terribly considering making your banana pancakes too! they just look so damn good! Its been ages since i’ve made my own pancakes from scratch so i’m really looking forward to it. I’m also looking forward to try ur take on Brown butter white chocolate macadami cookies!
Joy!!! I love your blog!!! I was pre-Thanksgiving experimenting yesterday and finally got the courage (thanks to you!) to make a pie crust. Of course, I used your no roll dough and it came out wonderfully well! Thank you so much! It was so much easier than I expected and tasted delicious. Now I have at least one pie recipe ready for the holiday. What a relief!Thank you again!
Oh man butterscotch pudding sounds goooooooood! This weekend it will be cooling down a bit here in FL (70! Woot! Sweater Weather! o_0 lol) And cool weather turns me into a baking fool. For reals. I plan on manically baking all weekend. Come Monday there will be heaps of sugary delights to share with everyone I casually pass on the street. *sigh* I’m so excited.
Weekends are fun for me because during the week when my honey is working far away, I eat super ultra healthy. Then when he comes home for the weekends, I make all sorts of decadent fattening and fried foods. After 5 days of salads and tofu, nothing’s better than pasta and meat and bread!
Your butterscotch pudding recipe looks delicious! I’ll have to try that!
not so much my mischief as my dtrs. & her friend–elijah’s #2 birthday party is sunday!! cupcakes/cakes, aunt’s cookign, etc….
It’s mid-late October….it’s pumpkin time this weekend!
Love the red hot chocolate.
going to the opera tonight with my handsome man… and then i just might have to try your butterscotch pudding this weekend. looks sinful and delicious!
Making furikake coated bagels because it sounds like a good idea! Plus dinner out tonight with the boyfriend and a massage on Saturday. SWEEEETNESS!
I made that pudding right away and it was so good, even the kids enjoyed it, except the whipped cream
For some reason they didn’t like it as much as the adults did.
I’m working on some Phillies themed cupcakes for a party tonight. Love the meringue bones – so cute!
Well, I already made mummy dogs and cocoa spideweb bites- the latter is posted to my site; next week it’s spooky food week with the mummy dogs and all sorts of other sppppoooookkkyyyyy things! Isn’t weird how we go from spooky to snowmen so quick?!
I am making mini-cupcakes with an attempt to decorate for Halloween and chocolate fondue. Hope you and Simon make it over tonight!
That’ll (is this even a word?) be G rated mischief for me….developing cupcake recipes for a baby shower. Pink and blue for a baby that will be a surprise…
ps: that red hot chocolate with meringue bone is just too cool.
this is a soup and bread weekend. But a new soup recipe and a new bread recipe, so that will keep it interesting.
This morning my two year old son and I made your Pumpkin Cookies with Butterscotch Chips. Oh the mess we made but what fun!!! I can’t wait for him to get up from his nap so we can enjoy them. :q
I’m making grape Kool-Aid this weekend… heck, yeah! If that’s not mischievous, I don’t know what is! Seriously, although I used to love it, I cringe at the thought of purple sugar water, but I love my husband and he loves Kool Aid, so….
was hoping to spend some time with my gal pal mischievous joy- but i am recovering from flu & sinus infection and must rest
le sigh….
I’m making another batch of your Oatmeal Applesauce muffins with a few of my own additions. I’m also gonna make some brownies and mail them to my sister. It’s going to take a few days to get to her so I hope they can stay moist.
That makes for a sumptuous breakfast!
just wanted to stop by to say i recently stumbled across your blog and i absolutely love it! i’ve been toying with the idea of starting my own blog and after reading yours i was inspired to go and do it. i just put up my first post and am now freaking out that i’ve said all i have to say! i’m terrified i’ll be a one post wonder!
anyway, thanks for the inspiration and i can’t wait to read more. as for my weekend plans… i’m thinking brownies.
My sinister actions include indulging in an entire giant smore bar from a local bakery/restaurant, then seeing your post about pancakes and making them for a 10 o clock pm snack!
Also made mini key lime pies earlier. Yum!
pistachio & almond loaf (a-16), s”mores brownies &
lemon lemon loaf (baked)
have a sweet w/e joy!
i love your mischief
The LoveFeast gals and their husbands are together this weekend! So, the mischief in the kitchen is off the hook! The boys are out buying a new grill just for a dinner challenge we threw down! Make a meal with a jar of Blackberry Hot Fudge sauce from Sweet Goddess Sauces (see http://www.lovefeasttable.com) Not sure what he’s gonna do, but we can’t wait!
Nothing too sinister for me this weekend, (recovering from a head cold and a great-niece turns one tomorrow) but on Monday I’m making a giant peanut butter cup cookie as a birthday present for a co-worker’s man. =) I need to try that butterscotch pudding, though!
Love the red colored hot chocolate!
Great recipes to start baking in fall. But…..what about giving ideas for a Halloween party????. Inspite of Im from Spain, I love Halloween, and I am looking for ideas but I only find sweet recipes.Can you help me Joy???. I would like to make a Halloween party for my friends at home, and I would like to make some cookies or a cake for “my children” (Im a teacher) at school. They all love Halloween too. Thanks for all..
You have a gorgeous web and your recipes make me always mouthwatering. kisses from Spain.
Mischief is the perfect word. Roasting pumpkin seeds right now….just made the entries for the potato 2k tastemaker challenge and am working on the video footage…I thknk my ideas are bigger than my video editing skills though.
Roasting veggies and making barley with carmelized leeks, but really wishing for pumpkin whoopie pies…
Joy, I love the Spooky treats and ideas. I am definately going to have to try the pudding, love a good homemade pudding or parfait. I just pulled some fudgy butterscotch brownies out of the oven and can’t wait to sink my “fangs” into them.
Thanks for always keeping things fresh, I know when I am down and can’t make my baking hands work, I will log onto the blog and get inspired again to go and do what I love!
this past weekend was my fall “girl’s weekend” wine tasting/pumpking carving/eating good food – I made lots of fall themed stuff (pumpkin seed salad, harvest potato bake, pumpkin cheesecake bars, etc, etc) and to top it off I made your vegan chocolate cake (as cupcakes) and made the avocado frosting! My friends weren’t in love with the frosting but they loved the cupcakes, they were super moist! thanks for always sharing deliciously creative ideas that I would never think of
Nice roundup–I’m definitely feeling better about the cold and ugly weather while reviewing these cozy recipes. You never fail to inspire me!
We made 2 batches of brownie cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday party. Halloween sprinkles on top, no icing.
I made your carrot cake pancakes…only gluten free since I can’t eat gluten…and they were amazing. Everyone I fed is still talking about them!
