Giant Cupcake Pan? Check!
August 20, 2013
Alana This post contains no cake, and I don’t care. Today is all about the giant cupcake pan. I saw this pan at the Safeway in my neighbourhood at least 4 years ago, and for some absolutely insane reason did not purchase it. I have regretted that moment up until now, because finally, I have … More Giant Cupcake Pan? Check!

Roopa I live handily close to a library, and I had the brilliant idea of getting some baking books from there so I could a) steal recipes, and b) decide if a book is actually worth purchasing. Truth be told, I got a little overzealous, and I now have like 3000 pages of baking knowledge … More

Tube method I’ve tried a … More Colourful Icing Swirls
So Many Things!
August 9, 2013
Roopa Today was my first time going to Hendrix, a fancy kitchen supply store. I really wanted to buy all the things, but I limited myself to a few excellent items. I sort of take after my dad in that I shop a little backwards; rather than buying tools for a project, I like to … More So Many Things!

I was gifted recipe books for my birthday! One of them may have been from myself. I am very excited to start trying these out!
Stand Mixer + Flowers
May 2, 2013
Roopa As an early birthday/graduation present, my parents got me a stand mixer! It’s this lovely, 800W, 5.5 quart bad boy right here: I need to decide what to name it! To test it out, I made some stiff icing and made flowers. I maaaayy have gone a little overboard with the flowers; I was … More Stand Mixer + Flowers
