Easter Cake

This cake was on the front of Canadian Living last year and I was OBSESSED with it, but I was going to be in Florida for Easter, so I didn’t get a chance to make it. I was so excited (#bakingnerd) to finally tackle it this weekend! Inspired by an Instagram from Bake Shoppe, the inside […]

Nutella Scones

Today the rest of the BSM crew is making Chinese Five Spice Scones for Chinese New Year. I actually bought the five-spice powder and sesame seeds last week, but just wasn’t feeling it. Five-spice powder is no joke: cinnamon, cloves, fennel, star anise and pepper. It’s STRONG. I’m not the biggest fan of cloves, and I […]

There are some people you just love to bake for, and my friend Janelle is one of them (previous examples here and here). She’s always so excited to receive treats, and they literally go directly into her desk drawer, for fear that someone will see them, and she’ll have to share. I love this! I […]

Nutella Cloud Cupcakes

I’m still trying to figure out my new co-workers. I’ve definitely been easing them into what life is like when you have me in the office. So far, the treats I’ve brought in have been pretty traditional, nothing too crazy (i.e. Trail Mix Cookies, Zucchini Cake, Pumpkin Streusel Bundt Cake). No cookie dough concoctions or […]

Sour Cream Chocolate Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting

All signs point to Fall. My nephew started Senior Kindegarten yesterday, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks, and TIFF starts this week. I am actually super excited for Fall this year, and to get back into cooking dinners. I hate turning on the oven/standing over the stove when it’s 45 out with the […]
