I remember thinking last year that it was such a strange and sad Mother’s Day. It was a rainy day and I dropped off this cake and a card on my Mom’s doorstep, and then we had a quick driveway visit before I went back home and watched Netflix movies all afternoon. This year was......
Every December I convince myself I’ll have time to make decorated sugar cookies for various Christmas parties or cookie platters, and of course I never do. They’re so pretty, but so time-consuming, so instead I make them for Valentine’s Day (you can see them on my Instagram going back over the years in so many......
When it comes to ice cream and other frozen desserts, I basically crave my usual favourite flavour profiles: chocolate, caramel, cookie dough, peanut butter, etc. I definitely stay away from any fruit flavours (that’s my aversion to anything tart + creamy at the same time) and I hate fruit sorbets of any kind. Because of......
I almost bailed on this week’s recipe as it’s well known around this blog that I don’t like citrus desserts, especially those that are tart and creamy at the same time. But I’ve committed to making the last 10 recipes on our Baked Sunday Mornings schedule, so here we are! My other motivating factor was......
Here’s another recipe from Baked: New Frontiers in Baking that I’ve never made before! This is a pretty straightforward muffin recipe, with a couple of extra steps involved to zest/juice an orange and grind some almonds in the food processor. I ended up being really surprised by these; they’re super fresh and light for summer.......
I truly thought it would be a rhubarb-less year here on Planet Byn. Last year, without any new inspiration, I re-made a couple of my favourite recipes from the archives: Lemon Rhubarb Bundt Cake and Strawberry Rhubarb Tart with Brown Butter Crumble. So I thought I might just skip the whole thing this year, but......
Happy Easter, bakers! This week our assignment was to whip up some delicious toffee, which was fun for me as I like any excuse to use my candy thermometer. I first made toffee years ago using this recipe from Smitten Kitchen, and I was amazed at how easy (and dangerous) it was to essentially make......
Three years after I made it, I still think about this Cherry Chip Cake all the time. Some combination of nostalgia for the boxed cake mix from when I was little, plus the colour, plus the fact that it’s just totally delicious, means I dream about it on fairly regular basis. Enter these Mini Cherry......
Every year when Winter seems to be dragging on forever, I start researching rhubarb recipes, so I’m ready to go when Spring finally arrives. So when I got a text from my friend Erin one weekend at the end of May asking if I wanted any rhubarb from her garden, I automatically knew what my first......
When Mother’s Day and Baked Sunday Morning collide, you know you’re in for a treat. Our recipe for this week was an Ultralemony Lemon Bundt Cake with Almond Glaze, and it was the perfect end to dinner with my Mom. The Baked boys sure love their bundt cakes, and they’re one of my favourite things......
