It's common to see the classic French croquembouche built with a pile of cream puffs bound together with threads of caramel. Today, we're doing things differently with some more commonly eaten bite-size items. Whether it's brunch, holiday celebrations, or simply entertaining friends and family just because a croquembouche is magical, however, in execution, it can appear overwhelming. Luckily, we've got you covered. Doughnut holes help make the entire process easier. There are no countless hours spent filling cream puffs. Instead, save the sugar spinning and drizzle the whole thing in a simple brown sugar sauce. And, should the occasion ring itself true and if you're feeling festive, wrap a strand of thin lights around the croquembouche.. Imperial Sugar sponsors this post.

But I wasn’t yet born. However, as of late, I have been ‘jonesing’ for Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake since discovering the delectable recipe from one of my favorite local restaurants. So, the nights (or days), I don’t want to leave home; I now know I can bake myself a less sweet yet still indulgent serving of this cake for enjoyment. My rendition of the Sticky Toffee Cake is less sweet yet still indulgent than the restaurant’s recipe. And, for me, that is perfect. This cake is a simple bake and small, too. While the ingredient list is minimal, there is nothing minimal about its flavor. Its marriage of dark sponge, sticky dates, and toffee sauce is a match made in heaven. My rendition is a brilliant recipe to make at home (if you ask me)—a genuinely comforting dessert that is much lighter than you might imagine. You can double the sauce ingredients and indulge. There is nothing new-fangled or experimental about this Sticky Toffee Cake, no weird-and-wonderful flavor combinations. It doesn’t even require difficult-to-find, esoteric ingredients or costly equipment. Should you choose, you can use a mixing bowl and wooden spoon. My Sticky Toffee Cake is simply a classic cake (treat, really) that anyone can make with basic skills. https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/breakfast-oat-scones monthly 0.5 2023-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/5ce0813a-a3d9-4bc1-83dd-27a0f2e02bcf/veethebaker-sugar-oat-scones.jpg Recipes - Oat Breakfast Scones - Oat Breakfast Scones This recipe is sponsored by Imperial Sugar. However, all opinions and recipe creation are my own. In the recipes for most scones, the flavorings for the fillings differ in dozens of delicious ways, while the standards for scones have remained relatively constant over the years. And because their texture so often judges scones, a delicious filling is wasted if the texture is tough and dry. The best scone is delicate, flaky, and evenly browned. When cut or broken with a knife or fork, it should reveal a crumbly texture with air spaces in between. Achieving a scone of this perfection is certainly no accident. Successful pastries are the result of following long-proven recipes and rules exactly and using the right equipment when required. Most nutritionists agree that we should start the day with a good breakfast, so what better way is there than with a delicious, fluffy scone. https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/strawberry-cake monthly 0.5 2023-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/6068554e-1e08-43e0-9e49-31adca1d012d/veethebaker-strawberry-cake.jpg Recipes - Strawberry Blossom Cake - Strawberry Blossom Cake Cakes are part of a tradition of generosity and thoughtfulness.

With three types of chocolates complemented with bourbon, this rich & smooth, luscious delight is sure to become your new favorite dessert. Mom’s tasting notes: “I was only going to eat the cheesecake because it was white chocolate, and you know I don’t care for chocolate-chocolate. But then I was like, I need all of this, so I put all three layers on my fork, and it was so smooth and heavenly.” This TRIPLE CHOCOLATE BOURBON CHEESECAKE is decadently layered from the crust up. The addition of bourbon in the dark chocolate crust introduces a hint of spice to balance out the sweetness of the white chocolate custard. At the same time, the bourbon in the top chocolate cake layer suggests a slight caramel note to round out every bite. https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/peach-simple-syrup monthly 0.5 2023-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/2b0e2e1e-0a20-48d4-9889-7d21cb950728/veethebaker-peach-syrup.jpg Recipes - Rich Peach Simple Syrup - Rich Peach Simple Syrup Real food means food that's closer to nature. And with summer here, juice and other beverages get a lot sweeter thanks to all the fruits in season, particularly peaches. We all know how to make simple syrup, but when it comes to making cocktails, I opt for a rich simple syrup because the thicker texture provides for a more full-body and flavor-filled cocktail. So, for this season's batch, I crafted a simple peach syrup by adding agave nectar. Using agave nectar helps reduce the glucose and glycemic index levels of the concoction, which may be ideal for their blood sugar. https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/peach-cocktail monthly 0.5 2023-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/c36a4639-f3de-4750-9b81-e5be1f0ca23f/vtb-simply-peachy-cocktail.jpg Recipes - Simply Peach Lady - Simply Peach Lady Some evenings call for a nightcap.

These candied pecans lend themselves to some excellent seasonal recipes, like the Sweet Potato Praline Scones and Pumpkin Praline Pie, for an enjoyable experience. In this Key Lime Pie, we're savoring every bite compliments to the whiskey addition in the filling. Not only does the whiskey lend itself to an elevated dish, but it also adds a unique layer of flavor that caramelizes the condensed milk. Whiskey is a perfect pairing for a sweet ending.

When feeding people with various tastebuds, the simple, flavorful dishes were always a hit! And, keeping that in mind, I put a few of the bagged onions to good use in this Onion Three Cheese Pie. https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/honey-strawberry-cheesecake-cake monthly 0.5 2023-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/1e27b685-4d8b-490e-bb93-d5b58f0396a2/veethebaker-sugar-cheesecake-cake.jpg Recipes - Honey & Strawberry Cheesecake Cake - Honey & Strawberry Cheesecake Cake This recipe is sponsored by Imperial Sugar.

Knowing there’s a cake on the counter waiting for you, makes the day all the more happier. Grab your cup of hot coffee or tea and enjoy this chocolate cake for lil’ something sweet. https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/apple-butterscotch-coffee-cake monthly 0.5 2023-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/1694566324797-6DFU707GRBG5D4115K9A/veethebaker-apple-butterscotch-coffee-cake.jpg Recipes - Apple Butterscotch Coffee Cake - Apple Butterscotch Coffee Cake This recipe is sponsored by Imperial Sugar.

I like to focus on simple lifestyle habits, which is evident when it comes to my lunch options. Believe or not, being a Texan, there are some days I want a sandwich encased in a buttery, warm flour tortilla. That makes it a quesadilla right?! What I know to be a traditional, simple sandwich received a lil’ Tex-Mex twist. This Bacon Tomato Avocado Quesadilla comes together in less than 20 minutes, including preparation. https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/simple-cheesecake monthly 0.5 2023-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/603948ce-3ca4-4eb2-a744-43b97d0f5f79/veethebaker-cheesecake.jpg Recipes - Simply Cheesecake - Simply Cheesecake A simple and easy cheesecake recipe that even a beginner can bake perfectly at home. If life were truly fair, cheesecake wouldn’t have a fat gram or a calorie. But since it does, it’s a good idea to have a simple cheesecake recipe in your arsenal. I’m a baker that strongly believes once you get the “hang of” the simplest of recipes, you can then perfectly bake, what you may consider to be the most difficult dessert. Good baking really is about technique, understanding the chemistry of ingredients once blended together, and patience. That’s why I always say, “Anyone, even you, can bake.” https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/peach-sweet-rolls monthly 0.5 2023-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/01855695-bfb1-4cbd-8bd9-f48c1d12b91f/veethebaker-peach-sweet-rolls.jpeg Recipes - Fresh Peach Sweet Rolls - Fresh Peach Sweet Rolls I said in my Homemade Cinnamon Roll recipe, “When you find a good thing, you share it with those you love.” Well, now I’m sharing something even sweeter because you deserve these. If by now you haven’t figured it out, my sweet tooth favors a combination of things-cinnamon & sugar. It’s summer, which means all of our favorite fruits are in season and ready to be consumed in any way possible we can. You can’t go wrong with this classic roll turned summer sweet roll. Whether it be for breakfast, brunch, an afternoon treat, or dessert… You will want to get out your rolling pin to make these heaven-sent Fresh Peach Sweet Rolls. Summer may end outside, eventually, but it doesn’t have to be inside. You can swap the fresh peaches for canned peaches, or even better, make up the rolls and freeze them for up to a month before baking out. No matter how, when, or why you serve them, they will be a huge hit with you and with the crowd! https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/sweet-spicy-seared-tuna monthly 0.5 2023-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/ed249156-7e98-4fc2-8774-12868d502509/veethebaker-sweet-spicy-seared-tuna.jpeg Recipes - Sweet & Spicy Seared Tuna - Sweet & Spicy Seared Tuna This recipe was shared as part of my Quick Dinner series on Instagram.

I may be saying this more frequently since “staying home” has been extended. This Sweet & Spicy Seared Tuna Steak recipe gets dinner on the table in a jiffy without sacrificing flavor or the decadence of dinner. The best part about this recipe is your family or friends may just be referring to you as “chef” after they get a taste of their tuna steak. And, when they do, stick your chest out, beam with glee, and accept that you just whipped a fine dinner for exceptional dining experience. https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/chicken-avocado-sandwich monthly 0.5 2023-09-13 https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/blackened-salmon-sandwich monthly 0.5 2023-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/8b77c1cc-78a5-4c24-8ec6-cda7e19f095d/veethebaker-blackened-salmon-sandwich.jpeg Recipes - Blackened Salmon Sandwich - Blackened Salmon Sandwich for Two This recipe was shared as part of my Quick Dinner series on Instagram.

One of my favorite Italian dishes is manicotti, in any form--chicken, beef, lamb, three-cheese—you name it, I’m at the table with a fork in hand, ready. I also enjoy Mexican food….let’s rephrase that…. I thoroughly enjoy Mexican food. I had some cooked chicken breast leftover, recently, and decided to make some Mexican-inspired manicotti. Now don’t get me wrong, I didn’t create the Mexican manicotti dish. It was already a thing. I did, however, make my dish low-carb-friendly. \ https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/vanilla-cake-french-toast monthly 0.5 2023-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/1694638553465-ID8MZ2RB0E98DA4TVHR4/veetehebaker-cake-french-toast.jpg Recipes - Vanilla Cake French Toast - Vanilla Cake French Toast The buttery taste and density of this Vanilla Bundt Cake makes it the perfect cake for French Toast.

These dinners can be made with minimal ingredients, using what I keep stocked in my kitchen. Lately, my cravings have toggled between smoked chicken and shrimp…anything. After throwing a chicken on the smoker and eating all my usual (read, regular) meals, I was left with enough smoked chicken for maybe two additional meals. So, I took to the kitchen to see what I could create. This particular evening, it was lil cool outside, but not cold. These cooler temps led me to a curry-inspired dish. I must admit, living in an apartment has made me conscience of the food I cook because no one, neighbors included, likes to smell certain aromas for more than a day or so (if that, even). When cooking curry, the aroma can linger for DAYS. Therefore, it was important for me to not make my curry too strong or spicy. This is what I would consider a more epicurean-version of a traditional curry dish. You, too, can have this delicious curry dish in under an hour. https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/oatmeal-butterscotch-bars monthly 0.5 2023-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/07b1d9fe-c906-42a3-825b-4d758837e948/veethebaker-oatmeal-butterscotch-bars.jpg Recipes - Oatmeal ʼscotchies - Oatmeal ʼscotchies To watch the video, click here https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/5-ingredient-biscuits-two-recipes monthly 0.5 2024-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/83a96f9b-ec48-4eb0-9d1d-57df812090f0/veethebaker-grandmas-biscuits.jpg Recipes - Sweet Milk & Flaky Biscuits - Sweet Milk & Flaky Biscuits There’s always been a secret in my Big Mama’s kitchen about making biscuits. When I would come home from college, Big Mama would send me back to school with two--three pans of cut biscuits covered in plastic wrap, and say, “Baby, all you need to do is keep ‘em in the freezer, and take out a pan when you’re ready and bake them.” Needless to say, once back at my apartment, I would bake out each pan and load up on biscuits for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Those biscuits would never make it to the freezer. Biscuits, butter and some Blackburn syrup was all I ever needed to cure homesickness. Biscuits don’t require a lot of ingredients, but there is a skill to rolling out biscuits that takes practice and patience. You have to knead the dough. And use cold milk. This 5-ingredient biscuit recipe includes almost everything, if not everything, you already have in your pantry. https://www.veesbakeshoppe.com/blog/black-eyed-peas-and-rice monthly 0.5 2023-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64904736dde74f3806554527/79b79479-194c-4109-866c-61b1c1bf93a9/veethebaker-deviled-black-eyed-peas-and-tomatoes.jpeg Recipes - Deviled Black-Eyed Peas & Rice - Deviled Black-Eyed Peas & Rice This recipe was shared as part of my Quick Dinner series on Instagram. These dinners can be made with minimal ingredients, using what I keep stocked in my kitchen. We all can agree there are different ways to prepare vegetables. It’s the variety in how we prepare them that tend to keep meals interesting. For Sunday dinners at least once a month, my mom would cook a pot of black-eyed peas and another of rice. Inherently, I do the same from time to time, and many times have leftovers for the week ahead. So, I took the liberty to combine these dishes to make a meatless meal (#MeatlessMonday). This recipe makes six (6) servings, which leaves enough for lunch the next couple of days or a vegetable side for dinner. With addition of fresh, flavorful vegetables I keep on hand, this Deviled Black-Eyed Peas dish has made the Favorite List in our home.

Since my family believes that candied yams are a Sunday dinner staple, I usually have some in my ‘frig stored away. It is always a great way to ensure ‘no food goes to waste’ because you can make the waffles and freeze them to enjoy as a fancy breakfast option during the week.

The time away made me realize just how much the ‘shoppe meant to many, including me. But, as they say, sometimes you have to pause to find purpose, then pivot. And that I did!

Here’s what you need to know about Special Requests: There are 10+ flavors for you to choose from for cakes & cupcakes. You can view the flavors here. Special Request orders should be placed at least three (3) weeks in advance. It’s always best to order early. When the idea of a party or celebration comes to your mind, placing your order at the same time is even better as my schedule is limited. Everything is made-to-order, baked from scratch (ain’t no box mixes in the ‘shoppe), and still made using the freshest ingredients. My cakes & cupcakes make outstanding gifts too!
