Roopa I saw a picture of half and half yin-yangesque cookies, and I wanted to try and make them. It’s a little more challenging to get the actual yin-yang shape, but I was pretty content with how they turned out. It’s basically cookies and various types of chocolate, so there was really no way these … More Reverse Cookies
REESE’S COOKIES Roopa I used my go-to cookie recipe (and left out the chocolate chips and pudding), and simply stuck a Reese’s cup in each cookie immediately after pulling them out of the oven. I had wanted the cookies to be a little taller, but I had too much liquid in the dough and they flattened … More Reese’s Cookies
CARDAMOM SHORTBREAD COOKIES Roopa I used one quarter of this recipe, and added 12 ground cardamom pods (about 1.5 tsp). They smell like cardamom, but the flavour didn’t go through too intensely. Next time, I would leave the cardamom in bigger chunks (and maybe add a few more pods) instead of grinding it so much.
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
Roopa I got a baking blowtorch for my birthday (!!!!) and finally got an opportunity to use it! I made s’mores cupcakes, because what is better to torch than marshmallow?! I made a graham cracker based cupcakes (adapted from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World), and covered them in marshmallow creme and a piece of … More S’mores Cupcakes
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
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
NUTELLA CHOCOLATE CAKE Roopa I am going to be moving to Vancouver pretty soon to start my after-degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics. My friend Nick was pretty invaluable during the application process, so to thank him I made him a chocolate cake with Nutella icing. I tried to make it sort of prosthetics themed, which is … More Prosthetics Cake
Roopa I found a new recipe for red velvet cupcakes, so I thought I’d give it a try. I haven’t actually seen many eggless recipes, and none of the ones I’ve tried have been as good as the normal version. The ones I tried were adapted from ‘Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World’ with some … More Red Velvet Cupcakes
NUTELLA CUPCAKES Roopa I made a batch of these cupcakes with some leftover icing from this cake. ❤ Nutella.
