I’m back with another recipe from Dessert Person! It was my Dad’s birthday last week, and his #1 fave is Carrot Cake, so I decided to test out Claire’s version. Her recipe is pretty straightforward and keeps the focus on the carrots and traditional spices like cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Her only extra addition to......
I’m really excited to finally put this recipe in the spotlight today! This is the chocolate cake recipe that I’ve been using exclusively for at least the last five years, and it’s definitely time to document it and elevate it to MY FAVOURITE status. There are two primary reasons why this is the best and most......
Can you believe my oldest niece turned 13 last week? (I can’t). I couldn’t let a pandemic get in the way of breaking a 13 year undefeated birthday cake streak, so I texted my niece to see if she had anything in mind for this year. She asked me if there were any cakes that......
I was really into sheet cakes last Fall when I made this Chocolate Blackout Sheet Cake for my first anniversary at work, and then a Rainbow Sprinkle Sheet Cake for my birthday. This S’mores Sheet Cake puts a perfect Summer spin on it, and it was so, so good. I found the inspiration for this......
[Note: I made this cake/wrote this post back in February, pre-quarantine times] Our Baked Sunday Mornings assignment for this week was a Flourless Chocolate Cake. Now, I’m pro-flour and pro-gluten, so I don’t have much need for this in my life, but I was still excited to make it for my co-worker for her birthday.......
When I was a kid I was a pop* addict – Coke, Mountain Dew, Sprite – anything I could get my hands on. Sometimes my Mom brought home a magical case from the grocery store which had six cans each of Orange Crush (my LOVE), Grape Crush, Cream Soda and Root Beer. Over time, this......
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......
Well, look, I definitely went overboard with my apple picking this year. I brought home a gigantic bag of Honeycrisps, but that’s not the problem, because I ate them all in no time. The true problem was the Northern Spys, which are a great apple for baking but are way too tart to eat out......
This week I celebrated my first anniversary at my new job, but have been thinking for weeks about what kind of cake I would bring in to share with the team (because OBVIOUSLY there would be cake). Since I was a little bit burnt out on layer cakes after the Ultimate S’mores Cake, the one......
I have spent this entire month trying to convince myself that I like zucchini. I’ve always passed it off as just the worst vegetable because it’s slimy and doesn’t even taste like anything. The only way I’ve liked it in the past was in Smitten’s Zucchini Carpaccio, or maybe thrown in these noodles when I......
