For the second year in a row, I wasn’t feeling like making a cake for my birthday. I’ve been obsessed with New Pie Co. for a while, so I decided to try to reverse engineer one of their pies that I was drooling over on Instagram for a while. I’m not sure if the name......
Life continues to slowly inch its way to returning to normal, and I was so happy to have friends over to my place this month! Here’s what was going on: I almost missed PICKLING SZN because of my Wedding Cake Project and Ottawa trip at the beginning of the month, but got organized enough to......
It’s been a minute since I baked anything new out of my Baked cookbooks, so I thought it would be fun to do a Baked Sunday Mornings post! This recipe is from Baked Explorations and the group made it all the way back in 2012 (who knows what I was up to or why I......
It would be impossible to power rank all the carbs that I love, but English Muffins would easily crack the Top 5. I love them toasted with peanut butter and jam or as part of a homemade breakfast sandwich. There’s just something about all those toasty nooks and crannies! I always thought it would be......
I tried to soak up as much of summertime as I could this month, while also preserving my baking mojo for my big Wedding Cake project at the end of the month. Here’s what was happening: My co-worker and I went out for lunch at the beginning of August to Maro’s, which I forgot how......
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......
