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 The second dessert for the triple birthday was also from Sally’s Baking Addiction. I saw the recipe for these fudge brownie cupcakes with cookie dough frosting and my friend Gillian almost lost her mind with excitement. I figured I had to make them or she would never stop harassing me about them. They are definitely a … More Cookie Dough Frosted Brownie Cupcakes
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
Alana A friend of mine and Roopa’s is hosting a baby shower a little while ago. She needed a cake and came to us! Roopa is in Vancouver so I agreed to help out 🙂 We chatted a little bit about decorations, but we didn’t say too much about the kind of cake. I thought … More Chocolate Baby Shower Cake
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 I made these chocolate lentil cupcakes a little while ago, and while they were good, they definitely needed some tinkering. I had some ingredients to use up and thought I’d give them another go. They turned out better than the previous attempt, but a little bit dry; I think that I may have undercooked the … More Chocolate Lentil Cupcakes: V2
Roopa Happy Easter! In my mind, Easter is associated with mini eggs, so it’s a very happy time. Traditionally it also meant finals, but I have a peculiar school schedule this year, so my finals aren’t for 2 months. I wasn’t feeling ambitious enough to bake another cake, so I went with cookies. I also … More Easter Mini Egg Cookies
Alana I’ve made a lot of banana bread and love the recipe I have for Zucchini Brownies, but I have yet to try baking a zucchini bread. I figured it would make another good option for snacking in addition to the Banana Banana Bread I made to bring along to Jasper this past weekend 🙂 … More Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Roopa After I impressively screwed up these doughnuts I felt compelled to make some redemption doughnuts. I had leftover buttermilk and a good night’s sleep! I read the recipe correctly this time, and made the changes based on how the last ones turned out. I also made a plain glaze, but I tried heating it to … More Chocolate Baby Doughnuts: V2
Roopa As you may have noticed, we now own the domain of chateaugateau.ca (yay!), and that is all thanks to my friend Akos. To thank him, I promised that I would bake him something, so I thought I’d whip up some baby doughnuts to take to volleyball. I wanted to make something pretty easy since … More Chocolate Baby Doughnuts
