My friend Jen lived in Switzerland for about three years, and when she moved home in 2021, I felt inspired to welcome her back with a Double Double Cake. A Double Double is a fairly iconic drink at Tim Horton’s (it means a hot coffee with 2x cream and 2x sugar) and a classic Canadian......
Last November, I was out for drinks with my co-workers/friends and after a couple of glasses of prosecco, my friend Mel asked me to make her wedding cake and I said YES. Whoops. I SWORE after last time I was out of the wedding cake game, but a few things made me agree: Mel is......
I created a poll in my Instagram stories last week to see what recipe people thought I should make next from Dessert Person. The options were: Malted “Forever” Brownies, Coffee Coffee Cake or Poppy Seed Almond Cake. I knew Kristine would vote for Coffee Coffee Cake, but so did her sister and also responded with......
I’ve been obsessed with Christina Tosi and Momofuku Milk Bar for years now. I was trying to think of the first time I heard about Crack Pie, and I can’t pinpoint it exactly, but lucky for us, the internet provides evidence of this obsession in the form of a comment I left on Gwendolyn’s blog......
Are you Team Coffee or Team Tea? That was the question posed to Gastroposters last week, in the ultimate battle of warm beverages. It took me a minute to choose a side, and here’s what I had to say: My hot beverage of choice is Vanilla Rooibos Tea, but if I have to choose, I’m Team Coffee......
Just because it’s fall, it doesn’t mean I have s’mores fully out of my system. Although I’m not quite sure my s’mores fixation ever really goes away in the winter, I think it just transfers over to mug formation (i.e. hot chocolate and marshmallows!). I also realized as I was writing this that I totally......
This is my friend Kristine’s (insert significant number here) birthday cake. I think my feelings about birthday cakes would be best expressed by a recent quote from Deb: “I delight in trying to find a layered summary of everyone’s favorite things that fits in a cake carrier.” No doubt. For K, this means trying to transfer......
I made these scones a few months ago, and they kind of got lost in the shuffle. I thought I would post them today, before it turns into summer fruit central around here. I’m that odd person that doesn’t drink coffee on a regular basis, but loves coffee flavoured things. For this reason, I’m that weirdo......
Howdy y’all! Welcome to my first Baked Sunday Morning! This is an online baking group that is working through Baked Explorations one recipe at a time. You guys have already seen and probably eaten a few things from this book: Sweet & Salty Brownies, Red Velvet Whoopie Pies, and Chocolate Mint Thumbprints. I thought jumping into the group would be......
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......
