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 At the beginning of June (this post is rather late) Theresa and I celebrated our birthdays together! We had a big day planned, with as many activities as you could possibly cram into a single day. An important part of our celebration was obviously the cake. A month or prior to Theresa’s birthday we … More Birthday Waffle Cake
Alana Last weekend was my Auntie Angela’s 50th birthday party. My uncle organized a big party for her; he ordered a cake from an Edmonton bakery called Kinnickinnick which specializes in gluten free and allergy-friendly foods. He wasn’t very keen on the decorating options that were offered, so we chatted and decided that he would order … More 50th Birthday Cake
Roopa There are three class birthdays this week, so clearly, I got volunteered into making three desserts. The first choice was these cake batter blondies from Sally’s Baking Addiction. Originally I was planning on making a croquembouche, but then I decided I should probably pass school. They were a big hit in class, and basically … More Cake Batter Blondies
SKELETON CAKE Roopa I finally got to use my skeleton mold! There was nothing fancy about the baking of this cake – yay for Betty Crocker – since I didn’t have a lot of time. I think my vision was much cooler than the actual execution, but you can’t win them all. I used white … More Skeleton Cake
Roopa Ever since the Sweetapolita Bakebook came out, I’ve wanted to make this watercolour cake. A bunch of my friends are in town for an Easter weekend volleyball tournament, so I thought it would be an opportune time to try it out! This was my first time covering a cake with fondant, and while things … More Watercolour Cake
Team Shambles Camembert cheesecake? What? We were taken back a little bit when we saw this recipe, because the cheesecakes that people are most familiar with use cream cheese and not, well, Camembert! Roopa (who is admittedly not a connoisseur of most things) had not even heard of Camembert cheese before! Regardless, it’s not an … More Camembert Cheesecake
Roopa My friend Chris was in town today, and we had decided on a baking/squash date weeks ago. We were thoroughly inspired by these amazing tea cakes by sprinklebakes, and originally were going to make them as cupcakes with a cardamom icing. I felt like procrastinating though, so I went and picked up a circle … More Earl Grey Poppyseed Tea Cakes with Cardamom Icing
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
Roopa It’s finals time! I don’t know what it is about finals, but I become extremely efficient at doing all sorts of things unrelated to school. I read The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons in the last three days – an excellent book, in case you were wondering – did some packing, and made my teachers … More Bribery Cake
