Roopa I saw these scones on Sally’s Baking Addiction, and they looked delicious, and like ingredients I already had! I was a little reluctant to leave my home post-earthquake (although my home is not particularly earthquake friendly) so that was an important factor in this decision. I was only missing the lemon, but I was … More Lavender Lemon Scones
Roopa Now that I’ve joined the birthday baking committee at work, I will be making ~50% of the birthday treats at the office. I’m also going to be making a wedding cake in August, so there was an icing style I wanted to try out on this cake. They want a cool ruffle texture (which … More Lemon Cake with Swiss Meringue Icing
Roopa Happy Pride!!! My buddy Marcus was staying with me over the long weekend, and after much deliberation, we settled on a cake project. I recently purchased some food grade silicone, so we planned to use that + my 3D printer to create a chocolate mold, as well as do a cool rainbow dripping ganache. … More Lemon Lavender Pride Cake
Roopa It’s my good friend Chris’ birthday!! Last year I was over 8 months late with his birthday cake – I know, I know – so I promised him a more timely birthday cake this year. Last year he gave me a Tasty video of what he wanted, and I harassed him incessantly about how … More Lemon Cake with Coconut Icing
Roopa Now that I’m on a macaron making mission, there will likely be a few macaron posts on here. I had some ideas of things to improve from last time (and a lot of excess ganache) so round 2 happened. I fixated on all the imperfections in the last post, but I neglected to mention … More Macarons 2
Roopa As per usual, I prematurely volunteered myself to bake for a work event and didn’t plan well or leave myself much time. It was a high tea, and after waffling between several options I decided on madeleines. I considered macarons, but I felt a bit nervous making them without having tested them in my … More Macarons
Roopa It’s wedding time! To recap, my friend Gina asked me to make her wedding cake last year, and of course I said yes. Her and Alex wanted a three tier lemon raspberry cake with a “messy” buttercream finish. I’m not all that confident with my fondant skills, so this worked for the best. I did … More Raspberry Lemon Wedding Cake
Roopa Last year, my friend Gina got engaged and asked me to make her a wedding cake! I was really flattered and excited about the cake, and really happy about the wedding. I’m really close with Gina’s older sister, so she’s kind of like a little sister. And, Bonnie will be flying in for the … More Lemon Raspberry Wedding Cake: Part One
Alana A few weeks ago I went a little bit scone-crazy. Mike and I made a day-trip to Jasper to go skiing at Marmot Basin. For those of you who are not familiar with Edmonton and Jasper, it is about a 4 hour drive between the two. Day trips are therefore totally doable, but you … More Scones, of Many Varieties
Roopa Last week I made these red velvet cupcakes for a coworker’s birthday. I made a big sign and put the cupcakes out…and then found out it was actually my CEO’s birthday. Oops. I tried to amend the sign for inclusion purposes, but he was very clearly an afterthought. After nicely calling me out at our … More Lemon Curd Pavlova
