I love baking for Valentine’s Day/Galentine’s Day, and since I didn’t really make any treats for Christmas, I was excited to spend some time in the kitchen, and had a super long list of things I wanted to bake. I also had two years worth of Val’s/Gal’s recipes stored up since we were in lockdown......
My friend Sarah ordered an Ultimate S’mores Cake for her sister back in June, and I thought this would be the perfect time to document My Favourite Chocolate Buttercream, which is a key component of that cake. [This is the long overdue companion to My Favourite Chocolate Cake that I posted a year ago!]. For......
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......
I’m coming up on my 1 year anniversary at work and have been doing some intense research on which cake I want to bring in to celebrate (because obviously I’m making myself a cake). I was perusing a new-to-me blog, Baking with Blondie, after seeing her pop up in my Instagram explore tab for......
When it comes to my birthday cake, there are four main food groups I’m interested in: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cookies & Cream Funfetti, also known as RAINBOW BIT I recently made my niece a Chocolate Peanut Butter Mega Cake, so I wasn’t feeling that this year. Plus I made this......
With both peach season and my funemployment coming to an end, I decided to go out with a bang and make Joy the Baker’s Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls. This was a perfect baking project for the day before I started my new job. Lots of steps that can be worked on little by little throughout......
Yesterday was my niece’s 11th birthday, and her birthday request was a Reese’s Cake she saw online (shout out Lizzy T). I took that idea and ran with it, using inspiration from Yo’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Mega Cake to create this beauty. Here’s how I did it: Baked up the quickest and easiest Chocolate Cake recipe......
Do you remember the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? I totally remember reading this as a kid, and it still holds up today, because it’s one of my friend Francis Levi’s favourite books! Francis’ mom, my friend Nicole, asked me to make a Brown Bear cake for his 2nd birthday party......
Today is my niece Rebecca’s 3rd Birthday, and I was convinced for this whole year that I’d be making a Frozen themed cake come December. To my surprise, my brother informed me that she wanted a “Shimmer & Shine” birthday cake. Shimmer & Shine, you say? Turns out this is Rebecca’s new favourite TV show......
Today we’re celebrating Martha Stewart’s birthday with a classic yellow cake/chocolate icing combination from Baked Occasions. Matt has a deep love for Martha which he writes about in the book, and while I wouldn’t consider myself a disciple, I can appreciate her domestic goddess-ness and attention to detail. This recipe is very straightforward, and I......
