When I was a little kid, my birthday cake choices pretty much alternated between Rainbow Bit and Cherry Chip. I was pretty excited when I discovered how to make Rainbow Bit Birthday Cake from scratch, and when I saw this Cherry Almond Bundt Cake on The Novice Chef Blog, I knew it was going to be another......

I’ve always liked the mythology surrounding Groundhog Day. Where I live in Canada, we look to a little critter called Wiarton Willie to predict the length of our winter, but I’ve always been partial to Punxsutawney Phil from Pennsylvania. He’s just so much cuter. I’ll definitely pay attention tomorrow morning to see if both Willie......

My littlest niece Rebecca turned two last week, and I was excited to make her birthday cake this year! Making cakes for her big brother and sister have been some of my favourite baking projects of the past few years, so I was eager to find out from my brother what she wanted. Until I......

I know, I know, this sounds crazy, but you have to put your trust in the Baked boys for this one. This is a New Year’s Day cake, the thought behind which is that a little more booze in your dessert will help take the edge off your hangover from the night before. I wouldn’t......

My fellow Baked Sunday Morning members are making this glorious Wintermint Cake today, and it’s so perfect for the season. It’s three layers of rich chocolate cake, stacked up with peppermint chocolate ganache and peppermint buttercream. Can’t you just picture eating a lovely slice with a cup of hot chocolate, or coffee spiked with Bailey’s,......

When I returned from my various travels at the end of October, I still had a crisper full of Empire apples from my trip to Chudleigh’s. I didn’t feel like making apple butter, but needed another recipe that would use up the rest of my beauties before they started to take a turn. I immediately......

Today is my BIRTHDAY and there was no question in my mind what my birthday cake would be this year. I’ve had my eye on this cake forever, and then my friend Danielle made it twice this summer, and I knew it needed to happen. I’ve written about this at length before, but I love......

This is one of my favourite, if not the BEST Baked Sunday Mornings, for reasons that have very little to do with the actual recipe we made. I’m still feeling all sorts of warm fuzzy feelings from this week’s trip to NYC where I got to meet many of the Baked Sunday Mornings crew. It......

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......

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......
