If cupcakes are your weakness, then prepare to be obliterated. Tulsa is about to get a few new cupcake store-fronts which will accommodate any cupcake lover, regardless of which side of town you live on. You may already be a fan of Tulsa’s established bakeries that serve cupcakes such as Ann’s Bakery and Merritt’s Bakery [...]

One thing that blows my mind is to think back about my heritage. My genealogy is a true melting pot, as is a lot of people in the states. Throughout my life one of the cultures that has been the most evident is my Lebanese heritage. If you knew me you might never know that [...]

Cookies aren’t really that hard to come by these days. Every grocery store has a cookie aisle. Most of the time you can find common ingredients around the house to bake cookies, or you can fake it and get the refrigerated dough. You Could do those things to get cookies, but how often do you [...]

How often do you eat a lip-smackingly delicious dinner and then, much later, realize that you’ve been tricked into eating a totally healthy meal, prepared with no fat whatsoever and more crunchy locally grown veggies than you normally eat in a week? Oh, once in a Blue Moon. Blue Moon certainly does not advertise themselves [...]

This week I decided to attempt the impossible. I know what you’re thinking “But Molly, you already attempted the impossible when you made macarons”. I know, I know. This is partly true. Macarons are a pass or fail creation. Either you do them the right way or they’re a complete disaster. There’s no such thing [...]

I have this strange urge to take on projects or responsibilities I know that I am only half-capable of doing, just to prove to myself that I can do them. The harder the project and less qualified I am, the better. I love challenging myself with difficult baking tasks. For instance, two winters ago I [...]

Valentine’s Day is a special time to really show what you are made of to your spouse. This year we are really challenging you to go above and beyond to express one thing…that’s Love.

Not that long ago I was watching Larry King Live. This is not something I ever try to make a habit of, but on this rare occasion I found myself watching an episode with Jack Hannah and baby animals. My husband has this obsession with baby animals that I find precious and somewhat bizarre at [...]

She adored the cookie. She idolized it all out of proportion. Uh, no. Make that, she romanticized it all out of proportion. To her, no matter what the season was, this was still a town where the most delicious cookie was made. Imagine George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue“, playing in the background and fireworks going [...]

Last weekend, Brian and I had a chance to visit the Oklahoma Wedding Show at the Expo Center. This event was put on by Oklahoma Magazine and was a great opportunity for Brides-to-be to meet with the best wedding vendors in the Tulsa area. From cake designers, DJ’s and musicians, photographers, bridal shops, wedding venues [...]

Last Friday my former boyfriend and I were invited to test a new bakery and dessert bar in Center 1 on Brookside. My former boyfriend is my husband now, by the way. I mean, he was my boyfriend at one point in time. Actually, a very, very miniscule point in time. Then, suddenly, I found [...]

Hammett House, in Claremore, is one of those restaurants that is absolutely worth the drive out to Suburbia. The Hammett House has been a Claremore staple since 1969 and remains the ultimate restaurant in the area to get “Down-Home Cooking”. The Hammett House is one of those hidden gems in the Tulsa area that you [...]

Guess who is moving to Midtown? I was walking down Cherry Street and noticed a blank glass window with nothing but a few pictures of amazing cakes, and a handwritten sign: I got really excited after seeing the amazing pictures and decided to research this place that would be coming to midtown! Wanda’s Cake Gallery [...]

This last weekend was exciting for me because my cousin got married. I thought that he and his now wife would be the only star of the show. The unexpected star was, however, the delicious and perfectly suited three tiered wedding cake that they had. I have always enjoyed wedding cake immensely. This wedding cake [...]

Before even setting foot into Lola’s, one can’t help but notice the unique logo, and the unique interior design is even more intriguing. The doors and windows are etched with a Dia de los Muertos (Mexican celebration to honor loved one’s passed away, translated in English to ’day of the dead’) skull sporting a decorated [...]

1 – Ann’s Bakery Ann’s has been servicing Tulsa since 1938 and proudly claim to be ’Tulsa’s oldest scratch bakery’. They have been creating outstanding wedding cakes since business began in the 30′s. Other treats are available such as cookies, cupcakes and even Amish pastries, however these can sometimes be hit or miss. Their niche [...]

In the mood for a sandwich made with homemade bread I decided to give Great Harvest a shot. I had had some of their products in the past but I had never actually been in the store. The store is less of a restaurant and more of a bread store. They actually grind their own [...]

In need of a quick cake a friend ran by Merritt’s Bakery, after another bakery didn’t have her cake ready on time. She got a beautiful red velvet cake with white butter cream icing and chocolate shavings on top. It tasted as good as it looked and it was a nice option to pick up [...]

As you walk in to Shades of Brown, the aromatic fragrance of coffee fills the air and the sound of grinding beans immediately excite the palate. Fresh pastries are made daily and include such treats as scones, a berry or pecan tarte, orange muffins, quiche and many others. Just about any coffee drink you desire [...]

Just took my Daughter and her fiancé to dinner at Stone Mill Barbecue and Steak house and wow what a meal. If you have not tried this place you need to; the Barbecue was great and so were the steaks ( I sample some of every kind), oh and HOME MADE deserts, pies, cobblers. I [...]

In the mood for some amazing rolls and a fantastic salad I took a friend to Shiloh’s. Located off the BA expressway in Broken Arrow it is a tiny hole-in-the-wall, mom and pop place. The restaurant is nothing much to look at and everything about it is very country. My guest was a little apprehensive, [...]

Kupcakz 7135 South Mingo Road Tulsa, OK 74133 918-461-0228 – Tulsa Food

We’re at it again and we just had to go back to Kupcakz on Mingo in Tulsa. This time there were plenty of cupcakes to choose from, almost too many. We settled on a dozen cupcakes, four Lemon Drops zesty lemon cake with lemon curd and lemon cream cheese frosting, two Cheeky Monkeys fresh banana [...]
