Sweet Tooth

Welcome to Sweet Tooth, a small gallery where I document some of the things I've baked over the years. Use the colored text above to navigate through the webpage. A more complete gallery exists on my personal blog, which you can view here.

 

Cakes

As much as I did end up enjoying the almond notes, I must admit that when I preferred the classic chocolate donuts when I eventually remade them with the requisite vanilla extract,
