Alana For Halloween, The Tea Girl hosted a customer appreciation event aka Halloween party. As very loyal customers, the nursing crew and I scored ourselves invites. This year’s theme is dead celebrities; unfortunately I do not look like anybody who is both dead and famous. Theresa, Katherine and I tossed around a few fictional ideas … More Pumpkin Cupcakes with Betty Crocker
Alana For Stephen’s birthday (back at the end of August), Theresa, Roopa and I all got together to bake him a birthday cake. When I say that we baked a cake, I actually mean that we all got together at Theresa’s place, and while Theresa chipped in for the baking bit, Roopa bummed around on … More Lemon Blueberry Birthday Cake
HALLOWEEN CUPCAKES Roopa I LOOOVE Halloween, so I was pretty excited to make some kind of themed cupcake. As par for the course these days, time is always a bit of a crunch; I made my favourite chocolate cupcakes and used some Betty Crocker icing. I covered everything with oreo crumbs, and then topped them with … More Halloween Cupcakes
BUTTERBEER Roopa My sister came to visit me for a few days so we decided to make butterbeer!!!!! I followed this recipe pretty closely, except one is root beer and one is cream soda. I felt like I was in a diabetic coma after drinking it, but it was completely worth it!
Alana Panna cotta is an Italian dessert that is essentially a creamy jello. It doesn’t sound very appetizing in words, but it’s actually quite good (especially when extra flavours are involved). When all of the nursing peeps and I were finishing (yay!) our final preceptorships (aka clinical practicums) we decided to celebrate! A few of … More White Chocolate Raspberry Panna Cotta
Alana For my last day of preceptorship, aka my final nursing practicum (which I was done in July might I add), I brought in cookies for all of the unit staff. Normally I would have spent some more time on a baking project, but I didn’t have time to make anything prior to the night … More White Chocolate Blueberry Cookies
Alana Anybody who knows me knows that I’m a fan of peanut butter. And when I say fan of peanut butter, you can automatically translate that to an almost unhealthy addiction to peanut butter. Roopa and I once had a serious discussion about relationship deal breakers, and dislike of peanut butter or an allergy would … More Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies
BAILEYS CUPCAKES Roopa It was my friend/classmate Gillian’s birthday in August, but we were both home for summer so her birthday baking was a little delayed. We decided on Baileys cupcakes as a post-midterm treat, and mini eggs on top because mini eggs are spectacular. These were definitely made on a time constraint, so I … More Baileys Birthday Cupcakes
Chateau Gateau turned 2 today!
Roopa I had a reunion with my friend Kelsey for the first time in two years!! She’s off doing her doctorate in the United States, so we don’t get to see each other too often. Back in high school we used to love having baking dates, so some sort of baking was high on the … More Sea Salt Chocolate Cookies: V2
