Kristine and I tried to squeeze* in one more pool day yesterday before this Summer wraps up. I blended up these Frozen Watermelon Mojitos at home, then (safely) raced over to my parents’ backyard before they could melt. We sipped on these, caught up and went for a quick dip. Even that little bee in the......

I can’t let Summer pass by without making at least one pie, and I’ve had this one bookmarked since last year. Blueberry pie is one of my favourite pies to make because the fruit is so low maintenance; just a quick rinse and you’re ready to go. Then you can use the time you saved......

I’m ready to admit that I will only eat tomatoes in the month of August. The farmer’s market near my house sells their own field tomatoes, which are so fresh that there’s still a little bit of dirt on the outside. They’re dark red, juicy and bursting with so much flavour. How can a pale,......

Can you believe my oldest niece turned 13 last week? (I can’t). I couldn’t let a pandemic get in the way of breaking a 13 year undefeated birthday cake streak, so I texted my niece to see if she had anything in mind for this year. She asked me if there were any cakes that......

Homemade granola is a joy and staple in my life, but it wasn’t always this way.  I remember way back in university my friend’s roommate made her own granola and kept it in the freezer, and I thought she was so weird and such a little hippie. Fast forward *cough* 20 years *cough* and I......

This felt like a really long month, and was filled with ups and downs. Working at home everyday is definitely taxing on my mental health, and I’m still figuring it all out. Spending time in the kitchen helps though, and I love having a project to work on which usually results in an excuse to......

My toughest customer, Francis Levi, turns 4 today, and this year he asked for a “scary but cute purple T-Rex cake with rainbow surprises inside”. Copy that! As always, Nicole and I first did some Google image searches to see what we could find for inspiration. 99.9% of the cakes that show up are insane......

Kristine and I met up in my parents’ backyard a couple of weeks ago for a pool day, and I knew right away I wanted to recreate our poolside snacks from our trip to Vegas last October. Frosé? Check. Guac + Chips? Check. Chilled Watermelon Wedges with Tequila Lime Syrup? That one took a tiny......

I was really into sheet cakes last Fall when I made this Chocolate Blackout Sheet Cake for my first anniversary at work, and then a Rainbow Sprinkle Sheet Cake for my birthday. This S’mores Sheet Cake puts a perfect Summer spin on it, and it was so, so good. I found the inspiration for this......

Strawberry Season!!! The best time of the year! Nothing can really top last year, when I picked my own berries and then made the best pie of all time. Of course this year is different, but I still got my hands on some Ontario strawberries from the little farmer’s market by my house. I’ve had......
