Alana On Saturday Theresa hosted another Indian food dinner. Naturally I made more naan (I’m getting good at it!), but because it was our friend Pang’s birthday last week I also brought a giant cupcake. It may not look basic, but this was a pretty basic cake to make. Yeah, it was a box cake. … More Giant Maple Pecan Cupcake
Roopa My friend Chris was in town today, and we had decided on a baking/squash date weeks ago. We were thoroughly inspired by these amazing tea cakes by sprinklebakes, and originally were going to make them as cupcakes with a cardamom icing. I felt like procrastinating though, so I went and picked up a circle … More Earl Grey Poppyseed Tea Cakes with Cardamom Icing
Roopa Alana went to make a Nanaimo bar cake the other day and came across this intriguing healthy cake recipe; it is a gluten free, lentil based Nanaimo cake. Lentils!!! I am no stranger to lentils, and actually quite enjoy them, but I’d be lying if I said they tasted like anything but health. Cake is … More Chocolate Lentil Cupcakes
Roopa I mostly see Valentine’s day as an excuse to bake things and decorate in an obnoxiously pink fashion. I have been baking the same chocolate cake/cupcake recipe for ages, because it’s nice to bake something that you know will turn out well. I wanted to try something new, so I was creeping around for non-heart … More Chocolate Valentine’s Day Cake with Raspberry White Chocolate Icing
RAW VEGAN BROWNIE BITES Roopa These were quite literally the byproduct of hanger [hunger + anger] + a no refined sugar health kick + an insatiable chocolate craving. I raided my kitchen and scrounged up dates, peanut butter, and cocoa. I put them into a food processor with a bit of almond milk until they … More Brownie Bites
Alana It’s official. As of today, Roopa and I are both registered to attend two classes at the Pastry Training Centre of Vancouver!

There are various programs offered, … More Chateau Gateau Goes to School!
Roopa My friend Chris is coming to town in a few weeks, and we were chatting about having a baking date. We ended up deciding on Earl Grey cupcakes with cardamom icing (which I am far too excited about). I mentioned this to Warren, my good friend who was in town today, and he got … More Earl Grey Cookies with White Chocolate Lemon Glaze
Alana A week or two ago, Mike and I went browsing through the Old Strathcona Farmers’ Market. It is one of many farmers’ markets in Edmonton and runs throughout the year. If you’re ever in Edmonton, you should definitely stop by there 🙂 Anyways, while we were there I picked up a container of “Chickie Dough”, … More Chickpea Cookie Dough
Alana In January it was Mike’s birthday. He was going to celebrate on his actual birthday, but he waited to long to organize a party. Turns out he also didn’t organize anything for the next weekend, and waited until the night before his party (when we were out at a “Battle of the Bands” event … More Cinnamon Bun Birthday Cake
Alana Here we go (finally)! The cake for Stephen and Ash’s wedding day! The process of making the actually wedding cake spanned the course of three days. On the 29th we made all of the frosting for the cake, on the 30th (the day before the wedding) we baked all the cake and assembled each … More Wedding Cake Part V: The Final Episode
