Alana In honour of Father’s Day this year, I decided to put my moustache cookie cutters to good use and whip up some sugar cookies for my Dad. Because they’re moustaches, it just makes sense to add some cocoa to make them chocolate (especially since my Dad has brown hair). I got these cookie cutters … More Chocolate Moustache Sugar Cookies (Happy Father’s Day!)
Alana Last weekend, a bunch of my friends and I got together to go day drinking in celebration of my birthday and patio season! Naturally this meant that I was bringing baking of sorts. I settled on cupcakes for logistic reasons, AKA smaller container, fewer utensils, and ease of distribution among my friends. The only … More London Fog Cupcakes
Alana As mentioned in Roopa’s post about the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Sandwich Cookies, this past weekend has been one of celebration, because today is my birthday! My birthday however, is not the only one that required celebrating! Friday was my mother’s birthday, so I decided to make her (but also kind of myself) a … More Peanut Butter Chocolate Birthday Cake
Alana My buddy Manny is moving to Grand Prairie next week for a job he got up there. Last night was his going away party, so I figured I could justify taking the time to bake something to bring, even though I should be studying for my mental health final (positive coping mechanism?). I was … More Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes
Alana The time period between finishing my last final (from winter semester) and starting spring term I was on the most ridiculous activity bender… mostly involving drinking. One of my more sober activities early on was thoroughly sifting through all things baking on Pinterest. I stumbled across a picture of sugar cookies filled with sprinkles, … More Confetti Whipped Shortbread Cookies
Alana I’ve had a lot of free time since my finals finished, so I’ve been baking basically every day. Because I have all of this time, I feel like I have more freedom to step outside of my usual baking repertoire. I went through a cinnamon bun phase a couple years, but since then I … More Cinnamon Buns with Cream Cheese Frosting
Alana As the finals soccer mom, I told everybody that I would bring them baking to fuel their brains for all of that learning they need to do. I decided that these needed to be at the top of the “to-do” list. At least one batch of cupcakes needed to be gluten-free for one of … More Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cupcakes
Alana As per the latest trend, today’s baking post is brought to you by my BScN-in-progress. I finished my last two weeks of clinical on Friday, so again as a thank you, everybody in my clinical group brought something for the nursing staff on our unit. Because time was of the essence, I decided it … More White Chocolate Orange Cupcakes
Alana Time to celebrate! It’s only March, but this is my last week of class/lab/seminar! Just like last term, my seminar group is having a potluck on our last day (aka tomorrow). As is the trend, I was excited to have a reasonably justifiable excuse to spend an entire day baking. I decided that it … More Blueberry-politan Cupcakes
Alana Today’s episode of baking-in-shambles is brought to you by my clinical group’s last day on our current hospital unit. The way my program works, we alternate between classes (labs and seminars for two weeks) and clinical practicum (hospital for two weeks). My group is at the end of our first clinical block, and we … More Blue Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing
