Baked Sunday Mornings: Mississippi Mud Pie

September 22, 2021 Baked Sunday Mornings

It’s been a minute since I baked anything new out of my Baked cookbooks, so I thought it would be fun to do a Baked Sunday Mornings post! This recipe is from Baked Explorations and the group made it all the way back in 2012 (who knows what I was up to or why I […]

I made a Wedding Cake [AGAIN]!

August 29, 2021 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

If you noticed things were a little quiet around here lately, this post will explain why! I was on a self-imposed baking hiatus for the month of August leading up this: my friend/former co-worker Emma’s wedding cake. Emma slid into my DMs on Instagram last December and asked if I would be willing to make […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Rhubarb Cake

July 21, 2021 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

For the past couple of years I’ve been saying the same thing: I’ve made every rhubarb recipe on the internet and there’s nothing new to try. I thought the exact same thing this Spring, and when my friend Erin brought me rhubarb from her garden, I made two of my faves (Stewed Rhubarb & Strawberry […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Banana Bread

July 14, 2021 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

My brother Joel texted me back at the beginning of June: “Dessert Person banana bread out today, may have to put it up against mom’s banana muffins”. I immediately got excited about a Banana Bread face-off/blind taste test/throwdown because our Mom’s Banana Muffins are THE BEST. We’ve been eating them our whole lives, so I […]

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.

Blueberry Crumble Cake

June 16, 2021 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

My baking soulmate (Danielle) and I get a good laugh out of our friends/family/customer cake requests. So many orders for plain vanilla or chocolate cakes. Even when we share a bunch of fun ideas, they still come back to just wanting the classics. I guess they’re classics for a reason though. Today’s cake is a […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Poppy Seed Almond Cake

May 19, 2021 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

I remember thinking last year that it was such a strange and sad Mother’s Day. It was a rainy day and I dropped off this cake and a card on my Mom’s doorstep, and then we had a quick driveway visit before I went back home and watched Netflix movies all afternoon. This year was […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Confetti Cake

April 10, 2021 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

We’re no stranger to Rainbow Chip/Funfetti/Confetti Cakes here on Planet Byn. This cake is truly so nostalgic and fun and takes me back to being a kid. I’ve made plenty of versions of this cake over the years, but still wanted to try out Claire’s recipe. I actually make this the first time back in […]

Unicorn Cupcakes

April 3, 2021 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

Long ago, in a galaxy far away (i.e. pre-COVID Fall 2019) we had an auction at work to raise money for the foundation where I work. I contributed two things: a custom 8″ celebration cake and two dozen custom cupcakes. My co-worker who had the winning bid for the cupcakes was so excited to order […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Coffee Coffee Cake

February 27, 2021 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

I created a poll in my Instagram stories last week to see what recipe people thought I should make next from Dessert Person. The options were: Malted “Forever” Brownies, Coffee Coffee Cake or Poppy Seed Almond Cake. I knew Kristine would vote for Coffee Coffee Cake, but so did her sister and also responded with […]
