Ah, nothing like a classic February hibernation month! It was a pretty quiet month, which was just what I needed: I went to check out the new Assembly Chef’s Hall with my friends from work. It’s essentially an elevated food court, with about a dozen stalls for some of Toronto’s best chefs. The whole thing......
Eight years of blogging, and still no signs of stopping! I definitely blogged less this year, but looking back, it was a matter of quality over quantity. I was obsessed with everything I posted! Let’s take a look back at the past year: My Favourite 5 Posts of the Last Year: Sprinkle Loaf with Birthday......
Three years after I made it, I still think about this Cherry Chip Cake all the time. Some combination of nostalgia for the boxed cake mix from when I was little, plus the colour, plus the fact that it’s just totally delicious, means I dream about it on fairly regular basis. Enter these Mini Cherry......

My little niece Rebecca is getting so big and turned 5 at the end of December! For her birthday cake this year, she asked for a Unicorn Cake for her birthday party with her friends {*tear*}. I still think of her as the baby of the bunch (she’s the youngest cousin), so it was kind......
When my cute little pregnant friend at work told me she was having twins, my first reaction was OMGSOEXCITEDFORYOU followed by: It would be my joy in life to make you a gender reveal cake! She was such a good sport and totally let me run with this. I had so much fun planning a......
I was just re-reading some old monthly recaps, and in my January 2016 post, I mentioned that I had finally found a waffle recipe that I liked: “I’ve been looking for a basic waffle recipe forever! I need to make it a few more times before it reaches ‘My Favourite’ status, and then I’ll blog......
This Christmas was very different for me as I flew the coop with my parents to Barbados to celebrate my Mom’s 70th Birthday, which was on Boxing Day! Here’s what I was up to before we left: Nicole and Francis came over for our annual Christmas baking day! A little challenging with a 1 1/2......
