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......
After many years of blogging, I finally have go-to recipes nailed down for all my favourite things I like to make at Thanksgiving. This year, I realized it would be handy to have links gathered in one post for easy planning and grocery list making! Here they are: Stuffing Mashed Potatoes Root Vegetable Crumble Cranberry......
I stuck to the classics for Thanksgiving this year, but I just had to made at least one new recipe, and I knew right away which one it would be. Claire posted this video/recipe back in May under the title “The Best Homemade Dinner Rolls” and there’s no better time to put that claim to......
Does anyone really need a recipe for Cranberry Sauce? Actually yes, I do. I used to just follow the recipe on the back of the bag of frozen cranberries, but the package I’ve bought the past few years doesn’t have one, and then I find myself scrambling to find a recipe as the cranberries start......
September always feels like a race to cram in a few more summer things while the weather is still nice, before making a hard pivot to chai lattes and prepping for Thanksgiving. I didn’t cook that much this month, but here’s what I did get up to: I took a little road trip to Waterloo......
When Roe v. Wade was overturned in the US earlier this summer, Bakers Against Racism activated once again to raise money to protect reproductive rights. I knew right away I wanted to participate, because while abortion is legal in Canada, there are so many barriers in place that prevent equitable access. I wanted to raise......
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 always get a little sad when the calendar turns to August, because I start thinking too much about the summer ending. It just motivates me to spend as much time outside and at the pool as I can, and eat as many tomatoes and peaches as possible. Here’s what else was going on in......
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......
