The Black Oven
Black metal and baking don’t usually go together, unless you’re talking about baked brains. The Black Oven, however, is a blog of cookie, cupcake, and brownie recipes, none of which require blood, animal sacrifices, or pledging allegiance to Satan. With recipes for ‘Frostbitten Molasses Cookies Entombed with Ginger’, ‘Call of the Wintermoon Lemon Curd Cookies’, and ‘Where the Chocolate Beats Incessant’, who needs blast beats or high-pitched screeching?
