The Ashton Kutcher/Demi Moore Split ... Raspberry CRUMBLE Bars

If the rumors are true, the Ashton and Demi marriage empire has crumbled.  Although their cougar union was sweet - like a fresh raspberry fruit filling,- it is now reported that Ashton's wandering eye caused the the marriage to break into pieces - like the crumbly mixture used to top aforementioned fresh raspberry fruit filling.  Ashton and Demi may have burnt to a crisp, but these Raspberry Crumble Bars are married to a perfect golden brown crisp.   

The Peter Parker ... Spider-Man Cake

A two-tiered Spider-Man cake that spins traditional (vanilla cake, buttercream frosting, old school Spidey adored by comic book geeks everywhere) and modern (paper-thin sugar sheets, new school Spidey adored by those same comic book geeks who just turned thirty) into a web of cakey deliciousness. The Spider-Man legend lives on ... 

The Christina Tosi ... Momofuku's Compost Cookie

Christina Tosi is Momofuku Milk Bar's Pastry Chef and a top tier baked celeb.  Combining pretzels, potato chips, Twix bars and chocolate chips (coined as the Compost Cookie at Milk Bar), Tosi's approach to baking is as much artistry as it is culinary genius.  The Compost Cookie boasts delicate mini pretzel and potato chip caves filled with melted Twix and chocolate chip goodness.  Equal parts salty and sweet, I'd follow this cookie around town any day.

The Prince Harry ... Orange Creamsicle Cupcake

Prince William and Kate have been hogging the spotlight for long enough ... it's your time to sparkle, Prince Ginger Wild Child.  Subtle orange flavor (a combination of orange juice and orange extract) and a creamy vanilla batter transform this typical cold dessert into an easily transportable baked good.  All hail to this royal cupcake! 

The Billy Idol ... White Wedding Cupcake Trio

When a best friend asks you to bake cupcakes for her wedding, you say heck yes!  It's a nice day when you have the opportunity to work in a professional kitchen and bake 160 vanilla, chocolate and red velvet cupcake treats - with a sous chef that totally rocks.  The homemade cupcake wrappers took these baked goods from simple and sweet to completely elegant and wedding worthy.  Wouldn't change a single thing about this gorgeous white wedding ... a true privilege.

The John Lennon ... Strawberry Shortcake Cookie

Summer baking and fresh fruit come together so naturally.  Strawberry shortcake is the quintessential summer dessert - all you need is warm sun-baked strawberries, puffy biscuits and homemade whipped cream.  However, when traveling with this treat, the perfection (and beauty) of the strawberry shortcake can be lost - bruised strawberries, deflated biscuits and lumpy whipped cream.  The solution?  Imagine strawberry shortcake cookies forever ...

The Yellow Ledbetter ... Lemon Meringue Pie

Does anyone actually know the lyrics for Pearl Jam's Yellow Ledbetter?  After listening to Eddie Vedder's sugary voice on repeat, I have discovered the meaning behind the hit song ... Eddie's love of Lemon Meringue Pie.  He simply can not live without.  He can't decide which element of the pie is his favorite - the buttery graham cracker crust, the smooth tartness of the lemon filling or the whipped peaks of meringue.  Eddie would have died and gone to meringue heaven with this treat.
