The egg cream is a timeless New York staple, harkening back to the soda fountains of the early 20th century. Fizzy, sweet, and bracingly cold, it contains neither eggs nor cream—rather, it's made with flavored syrup, milk, and seltzer water. The next time you’re craving something creamy and sweet, skip the ice cream and give this refreshing, retro drink a try. Get the recipe at the link in our bio. 📷: @jason_donnelly_photography

This cloud cake recipe creates a dessert as light as, well, a cloud. It features an airy cake that’s baked in a tube pan before being sliced, filled, and frosted with our silky seven-minute frosting. Coconut flakes are the final touch, bringing flavor and a light crunch to both the filling and exterior. Get the recipe at the link in our bio.

The months leading up to a wedding are often filled with joy—and plenty of invitations. Between engagement parties, bach weekends, rehearsal dinners, and showers, there are multiple opportunities to celebrate.

Specifically, is it considered rude to invite someone to a shower but not to the main event? At the link in our bio, we break down the etiquette around the sometimes-tricky situation of guest list limitations and pre-wedding events. 📷: @sugarandcloth

You don’t need to wait until the fall to make this spiced snacking cake. As the nights get cooler, enjoy this fragrant treat as an afternoon pick-me-up with a comforting mug of tea or coffee.

Whether you have unripe tomatoes from your garden or simply love this comforting, classic dish, turn to our fried green tomatoes recipe when the craving strikes. The contrast of the crispy cornmeal exterior and the tomato's firm, tangy interior can't be beat. Making them is easier than you might think, especially since there’s no deep frying involved. They make an excellent appetizer or snack, but would be just as delicious served with eggs for breakfast or sandwiched between slices of bread for lunch.
