My friend Jen lived in Switzerland for about three years, and when she moved home in 2021, I felt inspired to welcome her back with a Double Double Cake. A Double Double is a fairly iconic drink at Tim Horton’s (it means a hot coffee with 2x cream and 2x sugar) and a classic Canadian......

I had a little Galentine’s Day gathering last weekend, and there was one thing I knew right away I wanted to make: Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cupcakes! These were on my Valentine’s baking list last year, but I made the Strawberry Nutella Swirl Cupcakes instead. Good thing I STILL have multiple packs of freeze-dried strawberries lying......

Last November, I was out for drinks with my co-workers/friends and after a couple of glasses of prosecco, my friend Mel asked me to make her wedding cake and I said YES. Whoops. I SWORE after last time I was out of the wedding cake game, but a few things made me agree: Mel is......

I love baking for Valentine’s Day/Galentine’s Day, and since I didn’t really make any treats for Christmas, I was excited to spend some time in the kitchen, and had a super long list of things I wanted to bake. I also had two years worth of Val’s/Gal’s recipes stored up since we were in lockdown......

I’m not quite sure how 2022 turned into the year of the Jelly Roll Cake on Planet Byn, but here we are. First up was this Lemon Roll Cake, filled with Raspberry Whipped Cream that I re-made for Easter. Next up was a Banana Bread Roll Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting Filling from Smitten Kitchen......

After a couple of years of non-cake birthday cakes, this year I made myself two! First up is this Funfetti Coffee Cake. Funfetti is one of my main birthday food groups, and I’ve had this recipe pinned for ages, so it was finally time to make it! This is a lovely, hydrated, sour cream-based cake......

At long last, I’m documenting my go-to vanilla cake recipe that I’ve been making for over 10 years. I’ve used this recipe for countless birthday cakes, and even two wedding cakes, and it’s never let me down. It tastes great and is nicely hydrated, but most important, it’s sturdy enough for stacking and carving which......

I haven’t been baking too much this summer, but I couldn’t let strawberry season pass without making at least one thing. It was a toss up between two of Claire’s recipes: this fresh Fruit Tart or a simple Strawberry Shortcake. I had a random day off last week, but only wanted to spend a little......

My littlest niece kind of got the short end of the stick when it comes to birthdays: December 30. It’s freezing outside, stuck between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, and kind of gets lost in all the other festivities going on. This year, my brother and sister-in-law had the absolutely brilliant idea of celebrating her......

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......
