As a food photographer and food and drink enthusiast, I believe fresh is best. However, I cannot deny that there are some things I keep in the freezer to use long after their season is over. Cherries is one of those things. National Cherries Jubilee Day is coming up later this week and I wanted […]
You may not know this, but typically my articles are planned months in advance… and sometimes they are even produced and shot long before they appear here or elsewhere on the web. That is not the case with today’s offering. I made it, shot it, and ate it last night. I had originally planned to […]
Welcome to COOKIE WEEK! We are kicking off our 4th annual Cookie Week this week with the Classic Florentine. I cannot tell you how much I adore these cookies. I have sworn allegiance to the chocolate chip cookie, but this cookie might just make me (and you) rethink that. The base of the cookie is […]
We are finally getting settled into our new home. I hope you have taken some time to look around and see what’s new at Today’s Nest. We are excited about all of the upcoming projects and treats. Today is no exception. These cupcakes are simply divine. We’ve updated the classic just a bit to make […]
Cookie Week moves forward with our second entry for this year… Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies. If you are a fan of chocolate, you are going to LOVE this cookie.

This week wraps up our second year blogging. It’s hard to believe that we have presented the Treat of the Week every week for […]
We’ve got just what you need for Valentine’s Day. These cheery cherry cupcakes deliver on theme, flavor, and cuteness. The addition of maraschino cherry syrup and bits of cherries to the batter create lovely, soft pink cupcakes with almond-flavored, pink icing to round out the flavors. You’ll be surprised at how easy these cupcakes are […]
Our third entry for Cookie Week is this delightful little pinwheel cookie. We typically try to include at least one filled cookie with our holiday treats and this one answers the call perfectly. Not only does the swirl give you plenty of cookie to filling, but the pattern is interesting and adds an element of fun to […]
