Alana I made these cupcakes with my buddy Nate while he was between shifts (he’s currently working as a forest firefighter in northern Alberta). If you aren’t already aware, this is the lucky guy who got the Nanaimo cake for his birthday. I wasn’t going to recruit Nate to help me make unmanly cupcakes (at least … More Chocolate Stout Cupcakes
Roopa I have been slightly enamored with these cookies for years, due to my love of Seinfeld. Given that I live in Canada though, I didn’t actually eat one until this past May, when I went to New York. I thoroughly enjoyed that they are not so much cookies as they are small cakes. I didn’t … More NYC Black and White Cookies
Alana This post contains no cake, and I don’t care. Today is all about the giant cupcake pan. I saw this pan at the Safeway in my neighbourhood at least 4 years ago, and for some absolutely insane reason did not purchase it. I have regretted that moment up until now, because finally, I have … More Giant Cupcake Pan? Check!
Roopa Today was experimental cookie baking today. I kind of jumbled a few ideas from recipes I’ve used together and came up with these. They taste pretty good, but I’m pretty sure version 2 will be better. They are also a little softer than ideal – I needed to let them sit on the cookie … More Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
Roopa I live handily close to a library, and I had the brilliant idea of getting some baking books from there so I could a) steal recipes, and b) decide if a book is actually worth purchasing. Truth be told, I got a little overzealous, and I now have like 3000 pages of baking knowledge … More
BLUEBERRY MUFFINS Roopa This really was the byproduct of having an overabundance of blueberries in my house, some of which were getting a touch sketchy. You know that ‘not good to eat but not actually going bad yet’ stage? They were there. Something needed to be done. That something was blueberry muffins. I adapted this recipe here, … More Blueberry Muffins
QUINOA BROWN RICE FLAX CRACKERS Roopa I wanted to try make something that I would actually eat, aka something gluten free and relatively healthy. I tried out this recipe here.They were absolutely delicious, but there were definitely a few issues. The temperature was off – the outsides were crispy while the insides were soft – … More Crackers

Roopa I felt like making something a little unconventional today, so I decided on coconut mango cupcakes. I don’t really enjoy coconut, but it seems to be a pretty well liked flavour and I had coconut milk at home, so I thought I’d try something with it. I kind of just threw some ingredients together, … More Coconut Mango Cupcakes
Roopa My goal is to create a cupcake that has a very distinct chai flavour, but also a hint of chocolate. I suppose I should really call them chai chocolate cupcakes, since I want the chai to be the dominant flavour. My first attempt at this was not at all what I wanted; the cardamom … More Chocolate Chai Cupcakes : V2
