Old-Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies

wallflourgirl — Wed, 16 Feb 2022 04:45:18 +0000

Nostalgia never tasted so sweet! These old-fashioned oatmeal iced cookies are filled with warm spices & taste even better than the original that we grew up eating. Recipe very lightly adapted from Sally’s Baking Addiction.

This past weekend, I checked an unexpected item off my bucket list: I got to go to the one, the only…Super Bowl!

With an LA Rams victory on the horizon and high spirits flying all around, celebratory tailgates cookies were (of course!) the order of the day in our household. We decided to whip up a batch of these Old-Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies, … Read more

Vanilla Crazy Cake gets its name from how CRAZY easy it is to make! This delicious white cake is egg-free, dairy-free, and hassle-free. Best of all, this adapted recipe makes just two small slices–perfect for a quick & cozy indulgence! Adapted from Totally the Bomb.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of crazy, it was the age of crazy cake, it was the epoch of belief that this crazy cake is the best thing that will happen to you this year.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it is absolutely acceptable to make pumpkin desserts in March.

You will not descend into Dante’s Sixth Circle of Hell.

Social Distancing “Coronavirus Cupcakes”

wallflourgirl — Fri, 03 Apr 2020 04:07:47 +0000

“‘Riddikulus!’ he shouted, and they had a split second’s view of Snape in his lacy dress before Neville let out a great ‘Ha!’ of laughter, and the Boggart exploded, burst into a thousand tiny wisps of smoke, and was gone.” -Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban

In Harry Potter lore, Boggarts are amorphous magical creatures who can change shape at will and materialize into your greatest fear incarnate; the only way to defeat them is through laughter. J.K. Rowling always knew that the best way to find light in a potentially scary situation was to make light of … Read more

Drama-Free Cinnamon Rolls {Using a Bread Maker!}

wallflourgirl — Fri, 10 Jan 2020 06:33:15 +0000

It’s a new year featuring dramatic lighting, dramatic photos, and–you got it–these absolutely drama-free cinnamon rolls (made with a bread maker)!

Whether or not you own a bread machine, the only thing you need to know about them is this: they are legally, certifiably authentic products of WITCHCRAFT AND SORCERY. If there’s one thing I always dread making from scratch, it’s bread–in small part because the zombie toast in the video game Overcooked 2 is really terrifying, but mostly because I suck at it. Overkneading, underkneading…Every crime against dough that you can ever imagine has been committed in my … Read more

There’s nothing more fun than brewing up a spell in October. Bake some ghoulish delights this witching season with these 6 spooky Halloween cupcake ideas!

I don’t bake pretty things. When I first started Wallflour Girl in 2011, I was the queen of droopy frosting, uneven cakes, and splat-on-your-plate meals that looked like they’d be severely shaken inside a Mcdonald’s Happy Meal box by an overexcited toddler. Eight years later, not much has changed–although I’ve gotten slightly better in the presentation department, most days I’d rather channel my energy into discovering the best new recipes out there than spend an … Read more

Marble Cupcakes with Swirled Chocolate-Vanilla Frosting

wallflourgirl — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 00:27:29 +0000

Chocolate or vanilla? These Marble Cupcakes with Swirled Chocolate-Vanilla Frosting are perfect for those days when you just can’t decide! My favorite part: they’re just as fast and easy to make as a single batter & frosting cupcake recipe.

Let’s get one thing straight, folks: Decision-making as an adult is hard. Sure, growing up everyone would warn you about the dangers of sex and drugs and dropping out of school–and these are valid concerns (though as someone who spent 23 years in formal education, I still find it amusing that nobody ever warned me about the dangers of staying in … Read more

Bakery-Style Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

wallflourgirl — Sat, 30 Dec 2017 03:58:22 +0000

These bakery-style pumpkin cupcakes remind me of all the fresh pastries I saw on display in Parisienne bakeries when I visited France this past summer. This recipe features a moist crumb and warm spices that serve as the perfect foil for a tangy cream cheese frosting. (You can catch up on my latest Europe travel stories & recipes here and here.)

While the pumpkin cupcakes that I’m sharing today are by no means Parisienne, making them transported me back instantly to the days that I spent in the heart of France at the end of July. Freshly-baked pastries filled … Read more

Chocolate Crazy Cake–and an EXCITING announcement!!

wallflourgirl — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 13:30:52 +0000

I know that I’ve been gone for forever, but before I apologize, I have BIG NEWS to share with all of you that I think you’ll love…

Guys, I’M DONE WITH MY PhD!!!

It’s hard to even begin describing these crazy past three months. Back in February, I still had a full chapter, an introduction, and a conclusion to write–not to mention tons of revisions to wrap up and a lot of theoretical reframing to slough through. (In other words: LOTS to do!) Days were spent hunkering down in my woman-cave, a bowl of half-eaten instant ramen on one side … Read more
