Roopa Finally, a post! I’ve been travelling around Springfield, Charleston, and Lockport for the last weeks, so the baking time has been scarce. I’ve missed my kitchen! My coworker Praise’s birthday was a few weeks ago, and she mentioned a few different things that she liked. I decided to try combine them all into one: … More White Chocolate Mousse Cake
Alana For my birthday in June, Roopa got me a cake recipe book written by the author of this blog. I haven’t really baked cake in a while, so I’ve had no need to pull it off the shelf… Until it was my Dad’s birthday! He likes carrot cake so I searched through Layered and … More Rainbow Apricot Carrot Cake
Alana Last week was Katherine’s birthday! In celebration a handful of us went out for dinner at Remedy Cafe. Remedy is an Edmonton cafe that serves a wicked chai latte, has delicious Indian food, and a large assortment of desserts. We could have bought Katherine some cake, but that just isn’t very me. One of … More Gluten Free Double Chocolate Birthday Cake
Roopa I made a ginormous cake for my company’s golf tournament. It was 12″ x 18″, which is a very significant amount of cake. I kept things pretty simple – just a chocolate and a vanilla layer – with a lemon icing crumb coat/filling and vanilla bean grass. I used piping gel to make the … More Golf Tournament Cake

We had a big day planned, with as many activities as you could possibly cram into a single day. An important part of our celebration was obviously the cake. A month or prior to Theresa’s birthday we … More Birthday Waffle Cake
Roopa After a year of making other people’s birthday cakes, I finally got to make MY birthday cake.

It actually took me a really long time to decide … More Brown Butter Cake with Nutella Swiss Meringue Icing
Alana My mom wanted to make my grandmother a Mother’s Day cake, so I’m not really too shocked this task fell to me in the end. We had some cherry pie filling, so my mom was thinking black forest cake. According to Wikipedia, a black forest cake consists of chocolate cake, with cherries, and whipped … More Mother’s Day Black Forest Cake
Alana Last weekend was my Auntie Angela’s 50th birthday party. My uncle organized a big party for her; he ordered a cake from an Edmonton bakery called Kinnickinnick which specializes in gluten free and allergy-friendly foods. He wasn’t very keen on the decorating options that were offered, so we chatted and decided that he would order … More 50th Birthday Cake
Roopa The third and final birthday baked good was a Brie cheesecake. My classmate (and birthday girl) Julia helped me out a lot with my Master’s this year, so I told her to make any kind of baking request as a thank you (although really, I love Julia and would have made her anything anyways). … More Brie Cheesecake
Alana Yesterday was my half-brother’s birthday so I offered to bake a cake for the party. He requested lemon, so I pulled up my post from Stephen’s Birthday Cake. I looked back on my previous post with this recipe and noted that I found the middle/non-blueberry layer a little bit dry. I figured I could … More Blueberry Lemon Birthday Cake II
