I’m really excited to finally put this recipe in the spotlight today! This is the chocolate cake recipe that I’ve been using exclusively for at least the last five years, and it’s definitely time to document it and elevate it to MY FAVOURITE status. There are two primary reasons why this is the best and most......
Can you believe my oldest niece turned 13 last week? (I can’t). I couldn’t let a pandemic get in the way of breaking a 13 year undefeated birthday cake streak, so I texted my niece to see if she had anything in mind for this year. She asked me if there were any cakes that......
My toughest customer, Francis Levi, turns 4 today, and this year he asked for a “scary but cute purple T-Rex cake with rainbow surprises inside”. Copy that! As always, Nicole and I first did some Google image searches to see what we could find for inspiration. 99.9% of the cakes that show up are insane......
I was really into sheet cakes last Fall when I made this Chocolate Blackout Sheet Cake for my first anniversary at work, and then a Rainbow Sprinkle Sheet Cake for my birthday. This S’mores Sheet Cake puts a perfect Summer spin on it, and it was so, so good. I found the inspiration for this......
Well this was the weirdest Mother’s Day ever, right? What even is Mother’s Day if you can’t hug your mom? Instead of brunch, pedicures, musicals and other fun stuff we’ve done in previous years, this time I just dropped off a package of treats on my Mom’s door step and we had a 6 foot......
[Note: I made this cake/wrote this post back in February, pre-quarantine times] Our Baked Sunday Mornings assignment for this week was a Flourless Chocolate Cake. Now, I’m pro-flour and pro-gluten, so I don’t have much need for this in my life, but I was still excited to make it for my co-worker for her birthday.......
When I was a kid I was a pop* addict – Coke, Mountain Dew, Sprite – anything I could get my hands on. Sometimes my Mom brought home a magical case from the grocery store which had six cans each of Orange Crush (my LOVE), Grape Crush, Cream Soda and Root Beer. Over time, this......
Well, it couldn’t all be smooth sailing as we made it to the end of our Baked journey. This week’s recipe for Coconut Snowball Cupcakes was kind of a bust for me. I decided to tackle the Baked boys’ notoriously fussy cooked frosting one last time, even though it hasn’t worked for me in the......
Happy New Year, bakers! After a pretty busy Fall and holiday season, I was excited to check the Baked Sunday Mornings schedule and get back into it. To my surprise, there are only 10 recipes left! I’m going to try my best to make each of them and bring this epic, 10 year journey to......
Well, look, I definitely went overboard with my apple picking this year. I brought home a gigantic bag of Honeycrisps, but that’s not the problem, because I ate them all in no time. The true problem was the Northern Spys, which are a great apple for baking but are way too tart to eat out......
