Apple Cider & Caramel Cake

Yesterday all I wanted in my life was cheesecake. I thought about it all day, all night, and I’m pretty sure I dreamt about cheesecake. Now you may be thinking to yourself, “Tara is drunk, that picture does not look like cheesecake” AND YOU’D BE RIGHT. Wait…no, not about the drunk part, just that it’s not a […]

Adventures in Macs

I’ve started making more macaron at work lately. It’s downright impossible to do there in the summer when the humidity is upwards of 90% on a daily basis. Those bitches will always deflate before forming a skin to be ready for baking. Jerks. Truth is though, aside from the humidity being a dick, macarons are […]

Raspberry Spice Cake

Hello blog, my old friend. I’ve come to talk with you again. Because a vision of cake softly creeping. Left its raspberry seeds while I was sleeping. And the vision, that was planted in my brain. No longer remains, Within the sound, of silence. BECAUSE I BAKED IT INTO A CAKE, FOOLS. Jesus, what has […]

Carrot & Apple Muffins

It’s probably about time that I shared a recipe with you guys that isn’t a cake. Or a cupcake. Or something else completely loaded with sugar and absolutely terrible for you. I mean, the things I make are always good for your soul, right? So that counts for something at least. Here’s something you can […]

Lemon+Coconut Chiffon

This has been my sister’s favourite cake ever since I made it for her birthday some years ago. I remember it being the very first layer cake I ever made that wasn’t chocolate, and the very first chiffon cake I ever made that I didn’t fuck up. It’s a special one to me, kids. It’s […]

Chocolate & Peanut Butter Love

Yesterday felt like a cookie day. A chocolate cookie day. A chocolate sandwich cookie day. With the fluffiest of the fluffy peanut butter frosting in the middle. So I made them. The level of salt in these things, and the soft chewiness and fluffy as hell filling is just so on point. Everything about these is […]

A 30th Birthday Cake

Damnit, I almost made it to the one month mark of since I last posted haha. Well my brother’s birthday was yesterday, the 23rd of March, and he turned 30! He’s the oldest in our family, my sister is the middle child (27) and I’m the baby, turning 25 in August. He is really obsessed […]

Maple Bacon Caramel Macarons

I seemed to have a large abundance of egg whites hanging out in my fridge, and just the right amount of almond flour hiding in my cupboard. I knew it was time. Time to tackle macarons again. But what kind shall I make?!?! I still had two little bottles of yuzu juice, and thought to […]

Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

I sat down to write this post and then 2 hours later realized I was purchasing some sweet patterned leggings and had watched various clips of documentaries of monkeys with unfortunate gas. Oops. I guess I’ll actually do this now. These are cookies. They’re peanut butter sandwich cookies. Because I like cookies, and I like […]
