It seems like cupcake stores are popping up on every corner these days. And don’t get me wrong, that’s not the worst thing in the world to happen. I’d much rather pass twenty cupcakeries than twenty drug stores or cash-advance establishments. My issue is that the cupcakes are rarely stupendous. Yes, there are inventive flavors…

butterscotch blondie bars
Today begins 5 Days of Sweets here at made by mike. I had a lot of fun doing this last year, and hope you’ll enjoy what I have to feature this year. To kick off the series, may I introduce you to the Butterscotch Blondie Bar? They were featured in the December 2011 issue of…
peanut butter and cinnamon cookies
Truth be told, and why shouldn’t it be, I’m not such a fan of peanut butter. Maybe it’s a texture thing, I don’t know. It’s crazy, because I love peanuts. I could polish off one of those huge jars of Planter’s Roasted Peanuts during a single episode of Raising Hope. And that’s giving me plenty…
pumpkin and chocolate chip squares
I’ve been going through cans of pure pumpkin puree like it’s water. I’ve made these cupcakes more times than I care to count. They are amazing, you should make them. Your friends and family will be very happy campers. Even if they don’t particularly care for camping. I can relate. Today, I cracked open another…
oh my! oatmeal cream pies!
Confession time. I’ve had crushes on girls. I’ll let that sink in a moment. In fact, my first crush was a delightful gal. Her name was Debbie and she always wore a jaunty hat. She was also pretty small in stature, and many referred to her as Little Debbie. Sorry about that, couldn’t resist. Nor…
nutella swirled blondies with toasted hazelnuts and chocolate
Blondie Week, day four. Also known as Nutella Swirled Blondies with Toasted Hazelnuts and Chocolate day. You are going to need a great big glass of milk to go with these amazing bars. My partner Greg has quite the affinity for Nutella. It’s a hazelnut spread with skim milk and cocoa. It’s very big in…
snickerdoodle blondies – blog blast from the past
Since we’re celebrating Blondie Week here on made by mike, I thought I would reintroduce you all to the most wonderful blondie ever baked. If you haven’t made these yet, you must! To follow is my original very brief post about this incredibly delicious blondie. I’m going to keep this very short. Stop whatever you…
cherry chocolate almond blondies
It’s day two of Blondie Week. Today we feature the Cherry Chocolate Almond Blondie. Dried cherries are one of my favorite additions to baked goods. So I knew that when I was experimenting with blondie recipes, there would definitely have to be a cherry version. A couple of things that go very well with cherries?…
strawberry white chocolate blondies
Make these. Really, you must make these Strawberry White Chocolate Blondies. For one, it only takes about 10 minutes to put everything together before you send them off to the oven to bake to their golden deliciousness. And secondly, as far as I’m concerned, there’s no better baked treat than a moist and chewy blondie….
chewy chocolate chunk-cherry cookies
As you are reading today’s post, I am in a car with three of my favorite people (ok, I really like you too, but there wasn’t enough room in the car for anyone else) traveling through America’s heartland from Akron, Ohio to St. Louis, Missouri. No road trip is complete with out a great selection…
