Dessert archive of Half Baked Harvest, the recipe site by Tieghan Gerard, covering cakes, cookies and other sweets.
Ambitious dessert recipes with strong photography, for bakers willing to try something elaborate.
The About page tells how the founder started cooking for a family of ten, then began photographing and documenting the dishes that became the site. It describes the converted horse barn in Colorado and a studio barn built next door for cooking and shooting the recipes.
Visit linkThe recipes index can be filtered by cuisine, diet and meal type, and it carries seasonal batches such as a Thanksgiving menu and an October roundup. Dessert posts sit beside full meals and drinks, and roundup posts such as the monthly Recipes To Cook In lists collect the newest entries.
Visit linkThe desserts archive includes layered projects: a brown butter iced chai molasses snickerdoodle, homemade apple focaccia fritters, a peach sheet cake with brown butter frosting, pistachio cookie ice cream sandwiches, and a blueberry muffin ice cream cake. Sweets follow the calendar, from strawberry jam shortcake and strawberry pop-tart ice cream sandwiches in spring to a cinnamon spice apple cobbler cake in fall. Each recipe is a photo-led post built around the founder's own shoots.
