Strawberry Shortcake Cupcake Review!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 24, 2012

***Disclaimer: This is a cupcake review. Yes, I am aware that baked products like cakes and cupcakes tend to have frostings that are too sweet, which can be spooned off, but let’s remember, I also bake cakes from scratch, including icings, and eat cupcakes monthly. Therefore, my taste for cupcakes may be pretentious and specific. [...]

Low Budget Gourmet: Boston Cream Pie Coffee? Home Goods Raid..Sorta

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: January 6, 2012

Today a friend and I went to Home Goods, which is a store that offers gourmet food/coffee, furniture, and bath goods for discount prices.  Think Marshall’s, Ross or TJ Maxx, but without the clothes. I love this place, because it’s easy to access quaint adorable tea pots, funky, vintage “distressed” mirrors and desks, and features the best flavored coffees available- [...]

It’s not a spicy shake it’s just a nicely balanced cup of bliss. And I think Sonic’s whipped cream is indulgent, creamy and the fact that it’s topped with pie crumbles makes it even more so epic. So take that all of you who think I should expect pumpkin pie flavored ice creams/shakes to be disgusting.

Where Have I Been? Recipes and New Cooking Ventures

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: May 31, 2011

have made scones from scratch, biscuits, dinners, a peach cobbler with fresh sliced peaches, cakes, and interesting drinks! I have a few pictures of them prepared items and will try my best to share the recipes. Although I use recipes, I also get creative and add my own ingredients to it to give the dishes originality. So the way they come out will be a tad different from the ways your may if you do follow the directions very closely.

Must Try Junk Food: Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: May 2, 2011

For starters, the cookie is a whopping $.50, the perfect amount of money to try it, and if it doesn’t taste good, you didn’t go broke in being adventurous. (I find that to be a plus. Anyone else with me, here?) Biting into it, one will notice the chewy texture, and the golden buttery taste of the cookie, and then boom

Random Post: Saxby’s Strawberry Turnover.

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 11, 2011

It was like eating warm strawberry jam that tasted too soggy to be yummy. Maybe next time, Saxby’s. Just kidding, hahaha. Once I dislike something, it’s hard to give it another go. Manifestations of trust issues,perhaps?

International Delights Cinnabon Coffee Creamer Review

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 11, 2011

Although I liked their replication of the bun, I wouldn’t buy it again, because the inclusion of a cream cheese undertone in my coffee is just plain weird. I even considered that it would be when I was considering purchasing it, but I figured the cream cheese icing flavor would be obsolete.

POLL/Question Time!! What Would You like me to blog about next?

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: March 26, 2011

So it’s clear this food blog has featured many coffee creamer reviews, a copycat recipe and money saving tips, but is there anything you’d like to see from me in the future?

I expected this to not taste that much like a vanilla cupcake considering it has a graham cracker base. Upon opening the bag, you’ll notice that there are sprinkles on your goldfish grahams to imply that is it indeed a cupcake. (Nothing spells a cupcake like sprinkles, and don’t you forget it :) ) With the first bite, I was only able to taste a graham cracker and maybe a bit more butter

Pepperidge Farm Strawberry Milano Cookies Review

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: February 28, 2011

I have had the pleasure (as previously mentioned) of trying the French Vanilla flavor which gave the chocolate flavor a creamy, toned down, yet subtle accented, contrasting note, and the displeasure of sampling the Raspberry flavor. Personally, the raspberry tasted like cough syrup gone bad (as if good cough syrup is ever tasty) with bitter-sweet chocolate domination. I gag sometimes, randomly when I recount how my taste buds hated me for a few hours after eating them.
