Sweet 26

It's Friday and there are treats. Well, one BIG treat.



In honor of the birthday girl: Joanne.



And her love of toffee.



A heaping four-layer chocolate cake with sticky caramel, fresh whipped cream and crushed Heath Bar pieces.

Happy Sweet 26!

Love, CF

A working kitchen set like this could only belong to one woman:

Mother Martha of All Things Perfection

Amen.

sorbets & ice creams

David Leibovitz's The Perfect Scoop has turned me into an obsessive ice cream maker.

I can't fight it.

Nor would you want me to.

I miss rainbow cake.

It more than deserves its own inspirational post.

I love pictures of food almost as much as I love food itself!!

While I cook up some blog change, please enjoy some very tasteful food porn.

The Latest and Greatest

My poor sugar blog is feeling a little neglected. I am working on a revamp. So stay tuned.

In the meantime, the oven hasn't gone cold.

Lately I've made such treats as Ina's honey-vanilla pound cake, homemade heart oreos with pink filling and Momofuku compost cookies.

We're doing this.

Hello, awesome.

Cakewich sandwich mold!

Cake. That looks like a sandwich.

Brilliant.

Summer Vacation

Sorry, CF is on hiatus until further notice! We hope you're having the sweetest of summers.

Birthday Cookies!

It's been a while since we've had a birthday Cookie Friday, but this week we had toffee nut chocolate chip bars in celebration of Miss Marylea.

Happy Birthday, MC!

Have a sweet weekend,

Playing Catch-Up.

(I'm trying to update the blog. Here we go.)

Boys like bacon cookies.

Who am I kidding? Everyone did. Turkey bacon cookies, that is. With a chocolate drizzle.


+ The week before, Joanne stepped in to substitute bake some tasty brownie cookies!

She says they are not so "photogenic." However, they were delicious!

Sorry for the delayed postings. CF hopes to be back to a semi-normal routine real soon. See you tomorrow for a surprise cookie bar!

Guess Who's Bizzack.

Any Friday with cookies is a happy one. But a half-day CF with an office picnic and lots of beach time? WAY happier.

Check 'em out: Chocolate chocolate chip cookies with vanilla filling.

Peeps are impatient, so we hit up the cookies early morning, pre-picnic.

"Rahahaha," says Wessie.

I think they liked them.

The three cube-mates unite.

Welcome the NKOBlog, Steve and Dennis.

+ As always, CF is a team effort. Thanks to my sous coookie chef, my frosting specialist and my photographer.

Have a sweet weekend.

Big Stomachs, Bigger Hearts!

Today was THE day for CF's Great American Bake Sale.



We served up chocolate chip cookie sandwiches with your choice of chocolate or vanilla frosting.

YUM.

The sale went swimmingly! At $2 a pop, we sold out of nearly 50 sandwiches in about an hour and a half.




Those babies went fast!


AND WE RAISED A TOTAL OF ...

$200 ! ! !

It never ceases to amaze me how generous the people of PBC--especially the Friends of Cookie Friday--can be! Thank you to everyone!

Check out the totals here. And if you haven't already, become a FAN of CF on Facebook.

Have a sweet weekend.
Plenty LOVE, XOXO, CF

Dude, where's your face?

It was a certain someone's birthday this week. Someone who, judging by these self-portraits, prefers to remain blognonymous. CF obliges. In any case, while there was no official Cookie Friday this week (in preparation for next week's bake sale), "he" and few privileged office mates enjoyed sweet and salty peanut butter chocolate chip cookies with lots of sea salt.

I think he liked them.

Reminder: Next Friday is THE Cookie Friday to see and be seen. And eat, too. Get familiar here. Happy birthday, you.

See you then!

Pie Friday?

Looks like it!

Today, for the sake of mixing it up, we offered up CF's first attempt at pecan pie (or any pie for that matter).


It was interesting. But I think it went over pretty well...even if some "people" had to be force-fed.

I have no idea what happened below. We get a little cah-razy in the early morn.

What can I say, often times, a theme just pops up. Ole!

Thanks to Wes for humoring me.

Make your weekend sweet!
Love, JD of the CF
