This is it! Our last recipe from Baked Elements! I only joined in on this book about a year ago, but because of the expedited baking schedule of the last five months, have been able to make about half of the recipes. I’ll do a little recap below of my favourite recipes from the book,......

Today is my BIRTHDAY and there was no question in my mind what my birthday cake would be this year. I’ve had my eye on this cake forever, and then my friend Danielle made it twice this summer, and I knew it needed to happen. I’ve written about this at length before, but I love......

This week was Gastropost’s 100th Mission, and to celebrate, we got to create our own mission! I was thinking back to the first few Missions I did back in the summer of 2012, and of course when my thoughts turn to summer treats, that means only one thing to me: S’MORES! For my S’mores mission......

  Last weekend, my new friend from work had a BBQ (yes! I was invited again!) on the rooftop terrace at her condo. It was the second day in a row of a mini-heat wave; one of those sticky, humid days that required a maxi dress and accepting that your hair will get bigger and......

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!).

It’s been just over a year since my friend Barry left my old department, and moved to a new company. In that year, without any other changes to his fitness regime or eating habits, he’s lost 10 lbs. I’ll give that a moment to sink in. This means that without regular access to the treats......

Signs of summer: 1. I purchased two tub chairs, a little table and some snap-on tiles for my balcony, which previously resembled a jail cell. 2. I’ve started thinking about S’MORES again....

Do you remember what you were doing on January 2, 2010? I don’t, but evidently I was bookmarking this recipe for S’mores Crème Brûlée. In my ongoing effort to work my way through my age old favourites folder, I decided to make these for my Oscar gathering last night....

Nicole hosted a late summer BBQ a few weeks ago and cooked up an absolute feast for us. This girl is definitely a true cook – no recipes in sight. She tastes and adjusts as she goes, and just uses whatever she thinks will work together. I so admire this; I rely on recipes (probably......

My niece Charlotte turned 4 this month, and ever since her little brother’s birthday back in April, she’s been telling me she wants a Blue’s Clues Cake! The funniest part is that when I asked Joel what flavour of cake she wanted, her response was: chocolate caramel crunch cake. How does a 4 year old......
