If you noticed things were a little quiet around here lately, this post will explain why! I was on a self-imposed baking hiatus for the month of August leading up this: my friend/former co-worker Emma’s wedding cake. Emma slid into my DMs on Instagram last December and asked if I would be willing to make......

I think the carby/bready recipes from Dessert Person have been my favourite so far. I loved the Soft & Crispy Focaccia and the Pecan Maple Sticky Buns; both were SO good (even if I was a little annoyed at Claire saying you need a stand mixer to make them). I was really excited when the......

What a time to be alive and double vaccinated! It was so fun to start hanging out with friends again IRL, and even share food! Here’s what was going on in the first month of my my post-vaxx life: My friend Jen had a few us over for a swim and patio lunch over the......

For the past couple of years I’ve been saying the same thing: I’ve made every rhubarb recipe on the internet and there’s nothing new to try. I thought the exact same thing this Spring, and when my friend Erin brought me rhubarb from her garden, I made two of my faves (Stewed Rhubarb & Strawberry......

My brother Joel texted me back at the beginning of June: “Dessert Person banana bread out today, may have to put it up against mom’s banana muffins”. I immediately got excited about a Banana Bread face-off/blind taste test/throwdown because our Mom’s Banana Muffins are THE BEST. We’ve been eating them our whole lives, so I......

My friend Sarah ordered an Ultimate S’mores Cake for her sister back in June, and I thought this would be the perfect time to document My Favourite Chocolate Buttercream, which is a key component of that cake. [This is the long overdue companion to My Favourite Chocolate Cake that I posted a year ago!]. For......

This month ended with a double vaxx and you can see how I feel about that as pictured above! Ready to have a fun summer, see my friends IRL and actually be able to eat treats together instead of dropping them on doorsteps! Here’s what led up to my second shot: My friend Erin came......

My baking soulmate (Danielle) and I get a good laugh out of our friends/family/customer cake requests. So many orders for plain vanilla or chocolate cakes. Even when we share a bunch of fun ideas, they still come back to just wanting the classics. I guess they’re classics for a reason though. Today’s cake is a......

I love cornbread and don’t make it nearly enough. I have a go-to recipe (that I should actually elevate to My Favourite status here), and I tried Alison Roman’s version at some point during the pandemic. Both of those recipes are the style that I like: plain. Claire’s recipe for Loaded Cornbread is pretty much......

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......
