Alana Last month it was Katherine’s birthday, so Theresa and I made her a surprise birthday cake! The kind of cake was easy to decide, because it is a well known fact that Katherine loves red velvet! Theresa and I had a bake day before meeting up with Katherine at the Tea Girl for a … More Red Velvet Birthday Cake with Cinammon Cream Cheese Frosting
Roopa I don’t think I’ll be posting much until Christmas time (when I get to go home to my oven!)
Alana To make up for my lack of posting about things baked (I blame nursing), I’m going to post about things that I could be baking as I have a few new recipe books 🙂 Who’s surprised there’s booze involved? I’m certainly not! These lovely books were gifted to me by none other than Roopa! We … More Exciting Baking Books!

Alana Earlier this summer, a few of my nursing friends and myself had an Indian food potluck. We’re repeating, expect this time the theme is French food!

Roopa Tomorrow is my last day working at the Lego store this summer, so I decided to make a Lego brick shaped cake for the occasion. I made a vanilla cake with a white chocolate buttercream icing so I could food colour it pretty easily. I made a 9"X13" cake and cut it in half … More Lego Cake
Alana Roopa’s birthday just passed, so naturally treats were in order! She requested that I make one of our old favourite recipes, Eagle’s Magic Cookie Bars! This recipe is super easy to follow, and absolutely delicious! Generally there are a few standard modifications that we make to the original. The recipe I used in this … More Magic Cookie Bars
NUTELLA SANDWICH COOKIES Roopa I made a batch of cookies, and I used half chocolate chips and half Skor bits. I also skipped the vanilla pudding, because it’s really not necessary; it just has a bunch of preservatives that help keep the cookies soft. I had some leftover Nutella icing from a cake I made last … More Nutella Sandwich Cookies
