Chocolate Banana Loaf of Sorts

I remember a few weeks ago trying to describe to someone this vegan chocolate cake from some bakery in Toronto that I had a few years ago. It was so good, but extra good when you put it in the microwave for just a few seconds before eating it. It. Was. SO GOOD! I barely […]

Carrot Cake, Bitches. Or Why Tara Should Never Work From Home.

I got off work early today and thought to myself “Oh yes! A perfect opportunity to go home and work on all that recipe costing!” so I went home, and headed down to my cozy little cave and fired up the computer. I sat down and opened excel and starting tappa-tap-tap tapping away at those […]

I Ate Half a Box of Girl Guide Cookies for Breakfast

Ladies and gentlemen, I present the most delicious vanilla cake I’ve ever made and eaten in my life. Yep, there’s the sprinkles. And I did a bad job masking the sides because the buttercream was too airy and I had bubbles everywhere. Solution? Cover it with unsweetened coconut! Want to know a disgusting secret? A […]

A Typically Tara Cake

CHOCOLATE, BITCHES! With a creamy vanilla filling. …. And lots of sprinkles of course! I think it’s clear to see that these are my favourite types of cake to make. A traditional layer cake with a butt load of sprinkles and some sort of weird decorating thing happening. Like the little poo drops here. AND […]

Chocolate Therapy

I’m not the kind of girl that will just sit and eat chocolate on its own. A bar of good quality dark chocolate has never been alluring to me, no matter how shiny, sexy, or smooth it may be. While I can definitely appreciate the qualities of a good chocolate, I much prefer to eat […]

Raspberry Chocolate Truffle Cake

It’s been some time since I posted something I’ve baked on here! I’ve been baking things, I’ve just been a bad blogger and not taken any pictures of anything. And posts without pictures are boring. Super boring! Also I was without internet for about a week and a half. I almost died. So about a […]

Toasted Almond, Chocolate Chunk, and Toffee Cookies

  Cookies! I’ve never met someone who said “I don’t like cookies”. Even if they did say it, I would know they are lying. There are far too many different kinds of cookies in this world for a person to not like at least one of them. Knowwhatimsayin’? It’s just not possible folks. It’s my usual cookie […]

S’Mores Cake!

  Made a cake. Surprise, surprise! A chocolate cake! With a white chocolate graham cracker ganache filling, and a toasted meringue on the outside. It’s basically a giant s’more, but not tooth-rottingly sweet, and without the crunch of the graham crackers (which I missed, and would like to make some sort of chocolate/feuilletine layers of […]

TKO’s

SOMETHING IS WRONG! That picture is not of a cake…This post isn’t about cake! I can just hear the concerned whispers now… “What has happened to Tara?” “Is she feeling alright?”. But yes, folks. I am feeling quite fine! So everyone can calm down for a second, because I did make another cake (ahahaha) but […]

Pumpkin Pumpkin Pumpkin

Since getting lectured about not blogging for a while, I’ve started to stop and take time to snap a few hideous pictures of the stuff I make. Including all the pumpkin stuff I’ve been making. Even if they are terrible pictures taken with my phone. Deal with it. Pumpkin spice scones. They were good but […]
