About Ri C.

Maria has been whipping up sweet treats for nearly 15 years. What started as a love of cupcake decorating quickly evolved into a passion for crafting new recipes and finding any excuse possible to bake for and share with others!

Ri C Bakes is a place to publish recipes and blog posts with tips & tricks for all-things-baking. From classic cakes and cookies to custom creations, Ri C Bakes has something for everyone.

Flavor/Texture Profile

"What is your flavor/texture profile?" has become Maria's favorite question to ask people.

In other words, "If you're standing in front of an endless dessert table, what do you reach for first?" Something chocolate? What kind of chocolate? Fruity? Paired with what? Cookies? Are they gooey or crunchy? Cake? What kind of icing? What toppings?

In crafting custom desserts for others, Maria wants to know the details of your dream bake. To help you navigate the Ri C Bakes catalogue (and encourage you to try something new!), all recipes will have indications of what Flavor/Texture Profile they match :)

La Famiglia Menu

Certain treats deserve to be accredited to certain individuals - these recipes may come from kitchens of family generations past, or they may have been curated for a specific individual on a specific occasion. The best part of baking is creating for & sharing with others - it's all about la famiglia!
