The favourites I’ve blogged about to date have been pretty basic recipes that I’ve made countless times (buttercream, pancakes, muffins). Today I’m getting a little more trendy with my favourite Salted Caramel Sauce. I wanted to dedicate a post to this because like the buttercream, it’s on the blog, but buried as a component of......
We have some experience stuffing delicious things into delicious things over here on Planet Byn. Oreos stuffed into Chocolate Chip Cookies. Cookie dough stuffed into Cupcakes. Bourbon Caramels stuffed into Spiced Cookies. So obviously I was totally in on these Candy Bar Cookies. For this recipe, the Baked boys have you wrap cookie dough around......
Last Spring, shortly after her brother’s Front-End Loader Birthday Cake, I asked my niece what kind of cake she wanted for her birthday, and got a request for a Princess Cake. My first vision was of one of those creepy cakes with the Barbie stuck in the middle (just do a google image search for Barbie......
I’m not sure I’m ever going to have the occasion to make 120 cups of candy-covered popcorn again in my life, but I thought I would document the process here just in case! This was for my childhood friend Marlena’s baby shower. We got to chatting back in April at Nicole’s house, and she asked if......
Merry Christmas! Hope everyone had a nice holiday. I’m currently marathoning Season 5 of Friday Night Lights, but I rolled off the couch to check in here with a quick update. I’ll be posting a recap of my Champagne & Cookies Christmas party shortly, but in the meantime, here’s an actual voicemail that I received......
Erin and I went to the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo a few weeks ago, mostly to see Chuck (we’re on a first name basis, he follows me on Twitter). The Expo itself was something I had a feeling I would either absolutely love or truly hate; do you want to guess which one?...
Are you sick of hearing about my Florida Target adventures? I promise this is the last post, because I just need to show you what I hauled back up here. Then it’s time to get serious about holiday baking, my friends! Tomorrow is December 1st! Danielle and I have a conference call booked next week......
Sometimes I wonder if Americans realize how lucky they are to be able to go to Target anytime they want. I feel the same way about Trader Joe’s, though I have never been there. I’ve visited the Trader Joe’s website many times searching for my closet location. Detroit, I see you. I’m coming for you....
Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! I didn’t really have any holiday candy-making plans until I saw this linked on PW last Tuesday morning, and I knew I had to make it. It’s the same thing I had going on at Halloween, except with some coloured candy melts swirled in that makes it extra cute.......
Last week I had a few co-workers over for a little Holiday get-together. Barry, Jill, Rebecca, Shane & Paulette came over after work to check out my new place, eat some snacks and treats and gossip about work. Since Jill eats gluten-free, I did a little advance planning to make sure everything would be wheat-free, as......
