Welcome to Bklyn Bakes!

Welcome to Bklyn Bakes! I'm Randi, your hostess and baker! I've been baking since I could stand, and I was trained by the master chef herself, my mamaw (that's grandmother for those of you who grew up above the Mason Dixon Line). I figured it was time to spread the love around this big city!

Here's our current menu. I'm open to meeting your various baking needs, though, so feel free to email me at randiskaggs@gmail.com and tell me what you're thinking!

I'd be happy to speak to you if you have a different baked good in mind. I'm polishing my skills as a decorator and love trying to mimic the work of the Ace of Cakes guys, to the best of my ability.

I promise I'll post some pictures of my work soon!

Not Your Mama's Oatmeal Raisin Cookies



Stella gives our Exotic Oatmeal Raisin Cookies her seal of approval!


Yep, we've got cabin fever.

And what does cabin fever do to me? It makes me want to bake.

However, I really didn't feel like buying a whole bunch of ingredients, and I didn't feel like making anything too involved, so I gravitated to wholesome, delicious oatmeal raisin cookies.

But...I needed to switch it up a bit. I never really mess with my baking recipes, due to a crippling fear that I'm going to REALLY MESS THINGS UP. Which is easy to do with the alchemy of baking.

But I just had to give it a try. Less cinnamon, lots of cardamom, lots of fresh ginger, golden raisins instead of regular ones -- these changes just sounded like a good idea.

And, they were. Cinnamon raisin cookies, but with an exotic twist. Not the ones your mama made, but as you can tell from the pictures, delicious just the same.

Let me know if you'd like a batch.
