My biggest frustration when it comes to baking is wasting time and money on a recipe that doesn’t work out. It doesn’t happen too often anymore, so when it does, I get super annoyed. That’s what happened with this Strawberry Tres Leches Cake. I was so excited to make it and bring it to Jenny’s......

It’s official. I’ve reached the end of the internet when it comes to rhubarb recipes. I was waiting for Smitten Kitchen to post something new this year, but nothing popped up, so maybe she feels the same way. The very first rhubarb recipe I posted was in the first year of Planet Byn, back in......

I’m so obsessed with Harry & Meghan I don’t even know where to begin. When the news first broke that they were together, I was like, what? That girl from Suits? But with encouragement from my friend Krishna, I opened my heart to this royal romance and was so excited for their wedding. Kristine was once......

When my friend’s sister asked me to make her wedding cake at the end of last year, my first thought was ABSOLUTELY NOT. It seemed like it was too much pressure, plus I had never made a tiered cake before, and I thought this was just something best left to professionals. Then I talked to......

My friend Kristine and her family are die-hard Eagles fans, so when their team made it to the Super Bowl this year, stakes were high. For me that is, because she ordered up a dozen cupcakes for their Super Bowl party, that needed to be “midnight green and say Fly Eagles Fly”. So much pressure! Not......

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......

This was the second year in a row we had a Baked Sunday Mornings cake assignment close to New Year’s Day. Last year it was the Ultimate Birthday Cake from Baked Occasions, and this year it’s the Whiteout Cake from the first Baked book. I scaled down the recipe to make a little 6″ cake, and......

We’re currently going through a major change at my work. Last week, we moved to a brand new office without cubicles or assigned seating. It’s totally open, and you can sit wherever you want. There are different types of workspaces depending on what you need to do that day, for example, collaboration spaces, a quiet zone,......

My favourite thing to bake lately has been cute little 6″ birthday cakes. This is no doubt due to the endless cake decorating videos I’ve been watching on Instagram (faves: @chelsweets,  @whippedcakeco, @bakingwithblondie, @karleeskupcakes). Making mini versions has been a great way to practice a few specific things (i.e. using a bench scraper to get smooth......
