Peanut Butter Fudge Danish.
peanut butter cream cheese filling and chocolate ganache.no,i needn't say more.yes?
what a trip!
is the past 3 weeks my sister came to visit, my little brother stayed with me for 2.5 weeks,i had mid terms,spring break,baking orders,and just life in general.
but lots of delicious sweets happened in that time,and,as per usual,though i felt like it was taking somewhat of a backseat,lots and lots of peanut butter!
fudgy.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Raspberry Layer Cake.(aka 'art history birthday cake')
well,there's a story behind this peanut butter cake with raspberry cream,peanut butter buttercream,and thick chocolate ganache-my fantastic art history professor michael dorsch was planning a surprise birthday party for his birthday and needed a 'secret accomplice' to carry in his cake so he could act surprised infront of the class,and then have cake.well,he asked me.
little did he know i baked.
little did he know i had a blog,and sold baked goods,etc etc.
so after numerous emails i made him a cake,which he said to be my 'masterpiece'.(how very art history...)so i knoew it needed peanut butter.i could've pushed myself further,but i also could've pushed myself further on the duccio presentation.good thing i did the following week at the met...
birthday boy.
speaking of peanut butter and birthday cakes and peanut butter...
Chick O Stick Layer Cake.
for my little brother patrick's birthday.it's what he asked for,too!

and speaking of peanut butter,pb&j's,ridiculous things,and peanut butter and co,i've actually been to the peanut butter & co sammich shop 3 times now.no,i wouldn't normally pay $5 or $6 for a pb&j but when you have lots of these:
and yr gonna be buying it anyways,you might as well go there,get a sammich AND a jar of pb for the same price you would've spent.see,it's ACTUALLY a deal!
so here's what's been had:
"the pregnant lady"
peanut butter and pickles.
cinnamon raisin swirl pb,apple butter and wheat germ sammich.

Holy mother, talk about sugar & peanut butter heaven! I envy you!
I LOVE peanut butter, Lula's, Chick-O-Sticks, and Terri's Butterfinger shakes, but you lost me with the pickle sandwich!
Check out my Chick-O-Stick cookies:

The peanut butter fudge danish looks Epic. Yay for 2 shakes at one place! I love that you made your teacher a cake, and that he asked even though "he didn't know you baked (insert: on a astronomically amazing scale)." There is something thrilling about a pb sandwich that someone else has made for you, but another thing altogether, like exciting and terrifying to buy one at a Cafe dedicated to the Holy Legume. Inspired, I combined the pregnant lady and the orange marmalade one today b/c I only had dill chips to work with and knew the result should be a sweet/vinegar/creamy dynamo. Love the post! Good work as always and I will try the pb/pear combo soon. And hey, only one latte art, what the hell?! :P
