Howdy y’all! Welcome to my first Baked Sunday Morning! This is an online baking group that is working through Baked Explorations one recipe at a time. You guys have already seen and probably eaten a few things from this book: Sweet & Salty Brownies, Red Velvet Whoopie Pies, and Chocolate Mint Thumbprints. I thought jumping into the group would be......
Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! I didn’t really have any holiday candy-making plans until I saw this linked on PW last Tuesday morning, and I knew I had to make it. It’s the same thing I had going on at Halloween, except with some coloured candy melts swirled in that makes it extra cute.......
Updated with a new picture April 4, 2014 As the E! Fashion Police panel would say, I’m so on trend with these cookies right now. In January they popped up on Picky Palate, and have been all over the place since....
St. Patrick’s Day means only one thing to me: SPRING. Usually by March 17th we’ve seen the last of the snow around here, and hopefully have had a handful of days with double digit temperatures. Today I left my puffy coat and Uggs at home, and went to work in a light jacket and flats.......
Alexis and Nick are having a baby, you guys! Baby R is due to arrive on the scene in the middle of March, and a few weeks ago, Alexis’ mom hosted a little party for the mama-to-be. Obviously I volunteered to bring treats, and I sent Alexis this site for ideas. She said these Faux-stess cupcakes looked......
I think it’s so fitting that we’re kicking off Year 2 on Planet Byn with a recipe that’s connected to Danielle. You guys know that Danielle is my East Coast BFF who introduced me to food blogs almost three years ago. For Christmas this year, she got me a subscription to Bon Appetit –......
Last week I had a few co-workers over for a little Holiday get-together. Barry, Jill, Rebecca, Shane & Paulette came over after work to check out my new place, eat some snacks and treats and gossip about work. Since Jill eats gluten-free, I did a little advance planning to make sure everything would be wheat-free, as......
I have strong views on certain baking related topics, and thank goodness I have this blog now, because I can rant about them as much as I want. So I have issues with the whole Red Velvet thing. This is mostly under the influence of my real-life friend Danielle, and my pretend friend Deb, and I......
Technically these treats are called Buckeyes, but since I can almost guarantee no one around here is up on candy terminology that originated in Ohio, I’m taking some liberties with the name. This recipe comes from Baked Explorations, and was also featured on Smitten Kitchen. Both sources talk about why you only partially dip the......
We are well into Christmas cookie obsession here at Casa Byn, and when I say we, I mean me, my blogs, and Danielle via Google Video Chat. First though, a quick post about some cute mini White Chocolate Blondies I made for Tatiana’s daughter’s 1st Birthday party last month. Tatiana calls these ‘mini muffins’ and......
