A few weeks ago, three chefs from Washington D.C. posted this on Instagram: “Bakers Against Racism is a call to action: to fight and stand up against the unjust treatment of BLACK people in the United States. We are armed to fight racism with the tools we know how to utilize, our FOOD.” The premise......
This post is long overdue, but it’s finally time to recap Day 3 of the Food Bloggers of Canada Conference. Just like Day 2, we’ll go at this panel by panel: Bookkeping for Canadian Bloggers This session with accountant Brian Kent-Baas was all about the financial side of blogging, and how to determine what constitutes......
It’s taken me a couple of weeks to pull this post together, but it was important for me to document everything I learned. You’re about to get a crash course on Day 2 of the Food Bloggers of Canada Conference. Let’s do this panel by panel: Bloggers & Brands/PR – Best Practices for a Happy......

…so why shouldn’t I? To kick it off, this is going to be a place for me to retro-blog about some baking projects from the last year, like Charlotte’s Elmo Cake, updating Mom & Dad’s wedding dinner for their 40th anniversary, and some (mis)adventures in gluten-free baking inspired by Aoife & Jill.
