Roopa I’ve never really made any sort of whoopee pie/ sandwich cookie, so I thought that would be a strategic use of my leftover cream cheese icing. I had a few issues with the cookie making, but they worked out ok. They were originally supposed to be a chill-roll-cut kind of cookie, but that was … More Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Alana Finally, the perfect opportunity to use my giant cupcake pan presented itself. My friend Jocleyn is moving to Vancouver soon, and her birthday is just around the corner. She said either cupcakes or a cake would be great, so I figured both would be the best option. The flavour request was Guinness beer cake, … More Giant Stout Cupcake
Alana More boozey bakes from Alana’s kitchen today! I went to the same going away party as Roopa last night, and Ashley requested Corona cupcakes. I guess we need to squeeze in as much summer as possible before fall hits! An excellent combination for a summer day 🙂 I looked up my old beer cake … More Corona & Lime Cupcakes
I am a little bit sad that I have not been able to experiment nearly as much with my baking in recent days. Firstly, after a glorious summer of unemployment, I actually have a job now. Employment sort of cuts into time. On top of that, a lot of the baking I’ve been doing has been … More Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing

I went with banana chocolate chip muffins because:a) I was short on timeb) I had more than a few bananas at my housec) I was way too lazy to make icingAdmittedly, the lack … More Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Alana After floating around on a lake for a good portion of my day, I arrived home to the task of coming up with a baking concoction to take to my buddy’s birthday party. Roopa made a chocolate peanut butter cake to bring, so I needed to find my own baking niche that did not … More Grasshopper Cookies
CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE Roopa My friend’s birthday is tomorrow, and he requested some sort of chocolate peanut butter concoction. I made a chocolate peanut butter cake with honey vanilla filling (from my cupcakes yesterday) and hid the questionable icing job with lots of Reese’s cups. I used this chocolate cake recipe, this peanut butter icing recipe, and this honey vanilla … More Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
Alana Since the creation of Chateau Gateau, I struggle to decide between experimentation and revisiting old favourites each time I step into the kitchen to bake. I have so many ideas, and I feel like I need to try them all before I forget! Today’s baking adventure revived a recipe I’ve had for a while. … More Hot Chocolate Cookies
The beach volleyball tournament I’m playing in on Saturday is themed ‘Light it Up Blue’ as an Autism fundraiser, so I made blue themed cupcakes for it! The cupcake recipe is my go-to vanilla recipe, food coloured blue. They came out a touch greenish because of the vanilla, and I didn’t really want an excessive … More Vanilla Cupcakes with Honey Vanilla Icing
