This week I celebrated my first anniversary at my new job, but have been thinking for weeks about what kind of cake I would bring in to share with the team (because OBVIOUSLY there would be cake). Since I was a little bit burnt out on layer cakes after the Ultimate S’mores Cake, the one......

I was so happy that this August was filled with delicious baking projects and I blogged about them all! I also went to a few new (to me) places that I loved. Here’s what was happening: My friend Heather is moving to Hamilton, so I spent a bit of time there early in the month......

  I’m coming up on my 1 year anniversary at work and have been doing some intense research on which cake I want to bring in to celebrate (because obviously I’m making myself a cake). I was perusing a new-to-me blog, Baking with Blondie, after seeing her pop up in my Instagram explore tab for......

I’m going slightly rogue this week for Baked Sunday Mornings. Our recipe is for Raspberry Crumb Breakfast Bars, but I swapped in blueberries because I had so many leftover from this Black & Blue Pie. It was an outstanding choice. I have actually made these in the past (with raspberries) way back before I even......

After making the world’s best pie earlier this summer, I was eager to take on another one! I’ve had my eye on this Blueberry & Blackberry Pie from Smitten Kitchen for a couple years now, and have just been obsessed with the beautiful purple filling. I picked up a gigantic basket of blueberries at the......

I have spent this entire month trying to convince myself that I like zucchini. I’ve always passed it off as just the worst vegetable because it’s slimy and doesn’t even taste like anything. The only way I’ve liked it in the past was in Smitten’s Zucchini Carpaccio, or maybe thrown in these noodles when I......

I may have had a bit of an influence on my niece when it came to her birthday cake selection this year. To be fair, we did talk about a few other options, including a Lemon Meringue Mega Cake, so that shows you right there I was trying to be unbiased (I hate citrus desserts!).......

When it comes to Summertime baking, I usually only have one thing on my mind: S’mores. The S’mores archive is deep here on Planet Byn, but I actually have two more things to add it to this year. First up is this S’mores Cheesecake that has been on my to-bake list FOREVER! I thought our......

I’m coming up on one year at my new job, and we’ve now reached the point where my co-workers are comfortable asking me to make them birthday treats, which as you know is my joy in life. My cubicle neighbour Nat C. made sure to remind me that her birthday was on August 1st, and......

Being sick in the summer sucks and I lost a whole sunny week to the plague at the beginning of the month, but I started to feel better just in time to work on two very special birthday cakes. Here’s all the foodie fun from July: First a quick shout out to Nexus Coffee Company......
