Sprinkles on Cupcakes are Pretty

It has been brought to my attention that I have neglected this blog again. Hahaha story of my life though, right? I made some cupcakes to satisfy you hungry vultures. Some cute little vanilla cupcakes with a super creamy delish vanilla frosting and of course sprinkles. You know me and my sprinkles. Look at these […]

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 […]

Once Upon a Peanut Butter Brownie: A Love Story

Let’s talk brownies for a second. How do you like your brownies? Cakey? Gooey? Dense? Fudgey? With frosting? How about nuts, do you like nuts in your brownies? There’s just so many options…how does one choose? One chooses peanut butter, that’s what one does. I’m not always a big fan of the chocolate+peanut butter love […]

Toasted Walnut & Vanilla Fudge

Okay. So. I’ve actually never made just straight up fudge in my life before today. I used to love going to St. Jacobs and getting fudge there, and watching the people make the fudge in that one wicked shop but I don’t remember what the name of it was. There was also a really cool […]

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.

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 […]

The Curious Case of Comfortless Baking

Normally when I bake and my little white cat is in the house, he’ll be in the kitchen with me. Hanging around by my feet, waiting for crumbs. He was like a dog. Yesterday I was baking a cranberry loaf cake. No sign of the little white cat. Today I baked a vegan chocolate cake. […]

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 […]
