Alana Last year Theresa, Katherine and I got together on the Thanksgiving weekend for pumpkin pie and colouring. We each tackled a piece of Earls’ pumpkin pie, which was quite the task because each piece is HUGE. We managed however, because the Earls pumpkin pie is ridiculously good. This year, I got it in my … More Pumpkin Pie with Graham Cracker Crust
Roopa I can bake again!!!!!! There has been a notable lack of baking in my life (and subsequently on the blog). I recently had hand surgery, and while it was pretty minor, losing opposition on your dominant hand really limits the amount of baking you can do. I located a sushi place near my house … More Bourbon Pecan Pie
Alana The original purpose of the baking day that Theresa and I planned (a while ago now) was for us to try out the sour cherry pie recipe from the Duchess Bake Book. The sour cherry pie is a favourite of Theresa’s, and rightfully so! This pie is absolutely delicious! This pie was very straightforward to … More Sour Cherry Pie
Alana Theresa and I had a big baking day on Sunday! I’m still house sitting for Stephen and Ash and they had a giant zucchini in their fridge. I suggested to Theresa that we bake double chocolate zucchini bread, because who actually needs a mammoth zucchini kicking around. The first time I made this recipe I … More Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread, Take Two
Alana I got the itch to bake yesterday, but wasn’t too sure about what I could make because I’ve been house sitting. I know my way around Stephen and Ash’s kitchen, but I wasn’t too sure what ingredients they had. I opted to do something on the savour side of things and rolled some prosciutto, … More
Alana A coworker of mine was chatting one day at work about how much produce her garden has yielded this year. She was a little overwhelmed by it, and I piped up saying that if she had any apples I would take them off her hands. Done deal! I over did it in the oven, … More Apple Pie
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
Alana After I posted about making pie with Stephen, Theresa pointed out to me that it had been a long while since I last baked anything. I suppose that I have been busy going camping on the weekends and working, but that does not excuse me! I have had the Duchess recipe for lavender shortbread … More Lavender Shortbread Cookies II
Alana It’s been quite a while since I’ve baked anything, so when I realized that Stephen and Ash’s apple tree was dropping a tonne of apples I saw an opportunity! Stephen and I were getting together to play pokemon, so I figured it wouldn’t be hard to talk him into baking pie as well. I … More Apple Pie
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
