Peach Bundt Cake with Brown Butter Icing

Peach Bundt

Did anyone else notice that Ontario Peaches weren’t as great as they normally are this year? I bought them from a few different farmers’ markets towards the end of August through to last week, and I felt like they weren’t bursting with as much fresh peachy flavour as usual (I felt like Kramer being unable […]

  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 […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Blueberry Crumb Breakfast Bars

Blueberry Breakfast Bars

I’m going slightly rogue this week for Baked Sunday Mornings. Our recipe is for Raspberry Crumb Breakfast Bars, but I swapped in blueberries because I had so many leftover from this Black & Blue Pie. It was an outstanding choice. I have actually made these in the past (with raspberries) way back before I even […]

Banana Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

Last week I took my first true vacation since starting my (not-so) new job last Fall. I went to LA for a quick visit to see my friends Christine & Daryl (lots more on that soon!) and then was back home in time for a super fun charity event with my co-workers, Games 3 and […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl

Sour Cream Coffee Cake

One of my personal rules at work is to never schedule meetings before 9am or after 4pm unless absolutely necessary. I just feel that before and after those hours you’re never getting people’s full attention, and I personally like that time to prepare for/wrap up my day, so I like to keep it free if […]

For the past 5 or 6 years, my friend Danielle has been making me the cutest Christmas gift: a calendar with pictures of all the treats I made throughout the year. It makes me so happy, and now that I have a cubicle again, it has a prominent spot on my wall. When I turned […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Oatmeal Cherry Nut Cookies

Oatmeal Cherry Nut Cookies

You will never, ever catch me eating an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. I’m not against raisins per se; they have their rightful place in the bottom of butter tarts and these Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies I’ve been making lately. But for whatever reason, I just will not tolerate them in an Oatmeal Cookie. The Baked Boys […]

I did not have my act together when it came to PUMPKIN SZN this year. I was busy, and not organized, and then it seemed like all of a sudden Christmas Cookie planning time was here, and pumpkin had to step out of the way! I did crack open a can to make a Pumpkin Pie at […]

Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl Bread

I’ve really been trying to attack my Pumpkin Pinterest board this Fall, and this Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl Bread has been my white whale. It’s not really something you can throw together at 10pm (my usual baking time these days), so I needed a day with no plans to make it happen. And a couple of […]

Pumpkin & Chocolate Chip Crumble Cake

November 7, 2017 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

We’re currently going through a major change at my work. Last week, we moved to a brand new office without cubicles or assigned seating. It’s totally open, and you can sit wherever you want. There are different types of workspaces depending on what you need to do that day, for example, collaboration spaces, a quiet zone, […]
