It’s Messy Baker Monday!!! Today a bunch of my blogging friends have gotten together to celebrate the new cookbook from our friend Charmian Christie. I’ve gotten to know Charmian through various blogger events over the past year and a half, and even attended the launch party for The Messy Baker Cookbook last month. That’s where......

We’re down to the last five recipes in Baked Elements, and our challenge this week is a Tunnel of Hazelnut Fudge Cake. Where’s the other half of the cake, you say? Here it is! Despite using my non-stick bundt pan and spraying the hell out of it, my cake still got stuck! I used an......

When Nicole & Geoff came over for brunch in the summer, they mentioned that they wanted to throw a big engagement party in the Fall, but not just an engagement party, a PIG ROAST! This has been something Nicole’s been wanting to do for years, and they were so cute and excited as they asked......

I was just saying to someone yesterday that I often find that ugly desserts are the most delicious, and these muffins perfectly prove my point. From the outside they don’t look like much; kind of a naked cupcake with something mysterious bursting out the sides. But like a lot of things in life, it’s what’s......

We have some experience stuffing delicious things into delicious things over here on Planet Byn. Oreos stuffed into Chocolate Chip Cookies. Cookie dough stuffed into Cupcakes. Bourbon Caramels stuffed into Spiced Cookies. So obviously I was totally in on these Candy Bar Cookies. For this recipe, the Baked boys have you wrap cookie dough around......

Well, I thought we’d go out with a bang before it’s all Apples, Pumpkins and Pears* around here!  Since I started a new job right in the middle of the summer, it kind of upset my flow in the kitchen, and feel like I didn’t get to make as many pies, crumbles, popsicles and ice......

It’s a weird time, weather wise, in the Greater Toronto Area. Last week I flipped over all my calendars to September, which triggered an automatic craving for a Chai Latte & Pumpkin Scone from Starbucks. I also had a pumpkin recipe for Baked Sunday Mornings on the agenda for last weekend, and I was pretty......

I was really excited for this week’s Baked recipe as the peanut butter consumption in my life has fallen dramatically over the past two months. See, my new cubicle neighbour at work has a severe peanut allergy, so I’ve stopped bringing peanut butter to work, which is really sad for me, but as I don’t......

Hope everyone had a nice Labour Day weekend! After a month of being away or busy every weekend, I decided to lay low, ignore my phone, and binge on The Mindy Project. Take a look at what else I was up to in August: The month kicked off with a weekend away at a friend’s......

This is actually a Baked Monday Night instead of a Baked Sunday Morning, but there’s another interesting twist here. See, I kind of cheated. I usually don’t read anyone else’s posts until I’ve written and posted my own, because I don’t want to be influenced by other opinions on whatever we’ve made. But today I......
