    Mocharoons

    June 23rd, 2013

    “Mocharoons”… get it? Coconut macaroon + mocha (which everyone worth their weight in sugar knows is chocolate and coffee joined together in harmonious union)= Mocharoons. More, please!

  • Over-Whipped Cream

    Whipped Cream Whoops.

    June 1st, 2013

    Yeah, you probably don’t want to over whip your cream to the point where it’s the consistency of whipped butter. Stiff, whipped butter.
