Good morning! We thought you might like to start your day with a plate of delicious-looking doughnuts. This photo and accompanying review was shared by 2savorypalates in the YumSugar Community. No doubt many of you have heard of Voodoo Doughnut; the crazy and insanely delicious doughnut shop in Portland and Eugene where anything goes on a doughnut - namely the Bacon Maple Bar. My friend and I Read more

Break out the cookie cutters, the rolling pins, the fudge spatulas, and the bread pans . . . it's baking season! While I don't encourage diving into the holiday festivities mouth first, I do think we should all indulge ourselves just a bit and nibble off that tip of peppermint bark. But, before you go dipping into that bowl of eggnog or frosting up a batch of sugar cookies, you should take my Read more
If the holiday season's left you stretched too thin, don't rule out making edible gifts; simply look for a recipe that'll take less energy and labor. Drop-and-bake cookies are one answer for the time-strapped. What could be more cheery and Christmassy than double-chocolate cranberry cookies? The large, chewy, baked goods take little time to make, and I've found the dough chills well for future Read more
I'm a big fan of raspberry cocktails, so I knew the minute I came across a raspberry rose syrup that it'd be a must try. The recipe called for rose petals, but I substituted rose water, which I already had on hand (it can be found at Middle Eastern grocers or online at Amazon). The cooking process is basic: Dissolve sugar in a wine-and-water mixture, cooking raspberries down until a gooey syrup Read more
The concept of salty sweets has been around for a couple of years now, but lately, I've found myself going through a salty chocolate phase. There's something so satisfying about rich, creamy chocolate paired with a light crunchy sprinkling of salt. How do you feel about it?

As a child, I first saw Turkish delight, or lokum, in the BBC adaptation of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and I had to try it. It looked so strange and enticing! Ever since then, I've been a fan. The sugar-dusted, gummy, jelly-like cubes of candy are best fresh, so the only time I partake is when I find them at a legit candy shop. The rose water flavor is traditional, but too perfume-y Read more
After learning about the different types of doughnuts that exist in the world, I won't lie, I was totally craving a fresh-from-the-oven glazed doughnut. The funny thing is I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a doughnut! Looks like I might be indulging in one soon . . . how about you? Do you eat doughnuts?

I was hemming and hawing over the next great dish to feature in our Berry Tempting series when I came across a new recipe I simply couldn't resist making: a fast and easy rendition of tiramisu, topped with a pile of mixed berries. Given how enjoyable tiramisu is on its own, I wondered if the berries were even necessary, but I quickly realized the fresh berries add a tartness and texture that Read more
