Blackout Setup

This week I celebrated my first anniversary at my new job, but have been thinking for weeks about what kind of cake I would bring in to share with the team (because OBVIOUSLY there would be cake). Since I was a little bit burnt out on layer cakes after the Ultimate S’mores Cake, the one […]

Malt Ball Cake

Sometimes the Baked cakes seem like too much work when you don’t have a special occasion to bake them for, and this is when I like to bust out my set of 6″ cake pans. Many years ago I learned (from Smitten Kitchen) that any recipe for a three layer 8″ or 9″ cake can […]

Sprinkle Loaf

And it’s not even my birthday! I saw this sprinkle loaf on Jenn’s Instagram last month and have been thinking about it NON-STOP ever since.

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.

I feel as though there’s a time and a place for honey (i.e. on peanut butter toast), but my heart belongs to maple syrup. One of my very first foodie awakenings after university was realizing that there was a […]
