Alana A few of the nursing ladies and I have been getting together lately for potluck breakfasts. Last time I decided scones would be a good idea, and because we were just at the tail-end of fall (it snowed yesterday – sad face), pumpkin would be the perfect flavour! Baking these went quite smoothly overall. … More Pumpkin Scones
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
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!
THIS IS AMAZING. This was made for me. Actually.
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! My friend Theresa tasked me with dessert, suggesting crème brûlée or crème caramel. Crème brûlée won. It requires a torch >:) If you aren’t familiar with CB and … More Creme Brulee
Alana It was my good friend Stephen’s birthday a couple weekends ago, and his wonderful girlfriend (Ashlea) asked if either me or my friend Theresa could bake a birthday cake. Unfortunately Theresa was out of town, so this was a solo cake adventure. Ashlea had no requests/suggestions for the kind of cake she thought Stephen … More Chocolate Whiskey Birthday 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
Alana These cookies are the same as the last batch I made (linked here), except I used mint Oreos and chocolate chips. I volunteered to make something for my mother to take into work, as it is one of the other lady’s last day tomorrow. These were really quick and turned out well the first … More Mint Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies
Alana This post is unfortunately very late! Before winter semester ended (in April), my friend Theresa suggested we have a bake day before our mental health semester started (at the beginning of May). I don’t remember why, but we ended up making scones. No regrets at all! I was going on a snowboarding trip the … More Blackberry White Chocolate & Orange Chocolate Scones
Alana For the last day of my mental health rotation, I wanted to bake something that was easily shareable. A quick Pinterest cruise led me to a recipe for Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies. It was a very straight forward recipe to follow, and the cookies turned out really well.
