I guess I’m in a little bit of a baking rut. I haven’t felt motivated to try any new recipes, other than what Claire posts every Thursday on her show. I know summer fruit season is coming soon, so hopefully I’ll feel a bit more excited about being in the kitchen again. While I wait......
It’s our penultimate recipe for Baked Sunday Mornings! I can’t believe it! I have so much more to say about the whole thing, but I’ll save that for the last post. This week we kept our ovens off and made Brown Sugar Caramel Sauce. This recipe was a bit perplexing to me, as I always......
Happy New Year, bakers! After a pretty busy Fall and holiday season, I was excited to check the Baked Sunday Mornings schedule and get back into it. To my surprise, there are only 10 recipes left! I’m going to try my best to make each of them and bring this epic, 10 year journey to......
We’re currently going through a major change at my work. Last week, we moved to a brand new office without cubicles or assigned seating. It’s totally open, and you can sit wherever you want. There are different types of workspaces depending on what you need to do that day, for example, collaboration spaces, a quiet zone,......
My favourite thing to bake lately has been cute little 6″ birthday cakes. This is no doubt due to the endless cake decorating videos I’ve been watching on Instagram (faves: @chelsweets, @whippedcakeco, @bakingwithblondie, @karleeskupcakes). Making mini versions has been a great way to practice a few specific things (i.e. using a bench scraper to get smooth......
The Kentucky Derby has pretty much zero significance in my life. I think I watched it once, but it didn’t involve a big floppy hat or a mint julep which, in my opinion, are the two most appealing parts of this holiday. For Baked Sunday Mornings this week, the Baked Boys are running with the bourbon......
I feel like we’re entering prime wedding shower season, so I wanted to finally document the treats I made for my friend Nicole’s wedding shower ONE YEAR AGO (better late than never). I had so much fun making ALL THE SQUARES for Nicole & Geoff’s Engagement Party, and it’s truly my joy in life to......
Happy Easter! For the second time recently, we’re posting a holiday recipe on the actual holiday! Well, the rest of the group is, but I’m going rogue. They’re making a Mega Easter Pie (“a meat and cheese utopia” as it’s dubbed in the book), but I’m not really into it. Check out their posts here.......
Last December I made a bold declaration on this here blog of mine: I was done with apple pie. I had finally had enough after making Saveur magazine’s Salted Caramel Apple Pie for Christmas, and was ready to put that out into the world. I often have trouble with pie in general, mostly because I......
Well, I thought we’d go out with a bang before it’s all Apples, Pumpkins and Pears* around here! Since I started a new job right in the middle of the summer, it kind of upset my flow in the kitchen, and feel like I didn’t get to make as many pies, crumbles, popsicles and ice......
