Alana Last week was Katherine’s birthday! In celebration a handful of us went out for dinner at Remedy Cafe. Remedy is an Edmonton cafe that serves a wicked chai latte, has delicious Indian food, and a large assortment of desserts. We could have bought Katherine some cake, but that just isn’t very me. One of … More Gluten Free Double Chocolate Birthday Cake
Alana Yesterday was my half-brother’s birthday so I offered to bake a cake for the party. He requested lemon, so I pulled up my post from Stephen’s Birthday Cake. I looked back on my previous post with this recipe and noted that I found the middle/non-blueberry layer a little bit dry. I figured I could … More Blueberry Lemon Birthday Cake II
Alana On Saturday Theresa hosted another Indian food dinner. Naturally I made more naan (I’m getting good at it!), but because it was our friend Pang’s birthday last week I also brought a giant cupcake. It may not look basic, but this was a pretty basic cake to make. Yeah, it was a box cake. … More Giant Maple Pecan Cupcake
Alana In January it was Mike’s birthday. He was going to celebrate on his actual birthday, but he waited to long to organize a party. Turns out he also didn’t organize anything for the next weekend, and waited until the night before his party (when we were out at a “Battle of the Bands” event … More Cinnamon Bun Birthday Cake
Alana For Stephen’s birthday (back at the end of August), Theresa, Roopa and I all got together to bake him a birthday cake. When I say that we baked a cake, I actually mean that we all got together at Theresa’s place, and while Theresa chipped in for the baking bit, Roopa bummed around on … More Lemon Blueberry Birthday Cake
Alana Over May long weekend was Theresa’s birthday! Our friend Katherine hosted a surprise dinner for her, because Theresa is always super on-top of other people’s birthdays and has the best ideas when it comes to that sort of stuff. I was disappointed I couldn’t be there (I had already made other commitments), but I … More Chocolate Raspberry Birthday Cake
Roopa I wanted to try and make a healthy cake that was low in sugar, so I adapted a recipe for a sweet potato cake. The recipe was very similar to some brownies I had tried in the past that turned out really well. I felt that the cake turned out quite well – it was … More Gluten Free Vegan Sweet Potato Cake
Roopa It was my friend Sandy’s son’s 5th birthday this weekend, and she asked if I could make a birthday cake for the occasion. Like any 5 year old, he cycles through interests pretty quickly, but the final consensus was an Angry Birds cake. I watched a video of a playable cake a few years … More Playable Angry Birds Cake
Roopa It’s my old dance teacher Holly’s birthday tonight, and my other teacher Suzanne asked if I could bring cupcakes to class. They were basically the best teachers ever, so obviously I said yes. I don’t really have a good way to make a single oversized cupcake, so I opted for a mini cake with … More Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Icing
Strawberry Lavender Buttermilk Cake Alana This year I didn’t really make any plans for my birthday. Turning 22 didn’t really seem like a huge deal, so I decided that I would spend the weekend making myself an extravagant birthday cake. I wanted to make a lavender cake last year, but I didn’t have time because … More Strawberry Lavender Cake
