I had a day off last week, so I thought it would be a fun project to tackle Claire’s Walnut Maple Sticky Buns. While I’ve made Cinnamon Buns a couple of times over the years, I’ve never made Sticky Buns. I just don’t gravitate towards treats with nuts in them, so this isn’t really something......
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......
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......
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......
While my favourite summer fruits are strawberries and peaches, blueberries take a bronze medal just because they’re so low maintenance. All they need is a quick rinse and they’re good to go, which I love (although I do find hulling strawberries oddly therapeutic). I saw this Blueberry Pecan Galette on Bon Appetit last summer and......
Mardi Gras is coming up this Tuesday, so our treat this week is in honour of New Orleans: a pralines and cream ice cream cake. You can see by my picture that I took this in a different direction, so let me first explain what this recipe is supposed to look like. The recipe as......
Hooray! It’s pumpkin time! I feel like I showed excellent restraint in waiting until October to crack open my first can of pumpkin. Last year I was away for a lot of October, so I didn’t really make a dent into my Pumpkin Pinterest board, so I’m making up for lost time now. The first......
It’s time for the recap of my annual Champagne & Cookies Christmas party! Last year there was a snowstorm on the night of the party, so I nervously started checking the weather about a week before, and it was nothing but clear skies. Hooray! Since I went on a little trip to NYC the weekend......
Last week, the Baked boys announced that their new book (their 4th!) is called Baked Occasions and will be out on October 7th! So I think I can safely announce now that this is the top secret project I mentioned back in February. I recipe tested for this book!!! It was an amazing experience and......
Every year I host a little Christmas party for my friends, where we eat cookies, drink champagne, and toast the holidays. It’s selfish really; in years past I used to make up cookie packages and deliver them around to everyone, whereas now, everyone comes to me! This little soiree is always BYOT, where the T......
