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
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
Roopa My friend Chris is coming to town in a few weeks, and we were chatting about having a baking date. We ended up deciding on Earl Grey cupcakes with cardamom icing (which I am far too excited about). I mentioned this to Warren, my good friend who was in town today, and he got … More Earl Grey Cookies with White Chocolate Lemon Glaze
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
Roopa Despite living in different provinces, Alana and I seem to be on the same wavelength in regards to baking with mini eggs. She just made these mini egg cookies and I made cupcakes!

Alana Finally, an excuse to spend some time baking! One of the nursing ladies is have a potluck brunch at her house tomorrow, and scones have been requested 🙂 Even though it’s reading week right now, nursing has managed to continue to eat up all my time. I don’t have endless hours to spend cruising … More Blueberry Lemon Scones
Roopa It was my friend Clara’s birthday a little while ago, and upon my insistence that I make her a cake, she requested anything with cream cheese icing. I decided to go with a lemon cake because – let’s be honest – lemon is kind of amazing. I wasn’t feeling that well when I made … More Lemon Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Icing
Roopa I’m feeling pretty motivated to try out new recipes right now, so today I decided on a gingerbread cupcake with lemon buttercream icing. I was a little skeptical of the ginger-lemon combination, but google informed me that it’s an excellent pairing. To be perfectly honest, I’m not the best judge of anything where ginger … More Gingerbread Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Icing
I wanted to make something bright and summery, so I went with triple lemon cupcakes. They gave me a chance to use my new gel food colours, as well as use up some of the MANY flowers I made. My favourite was the lily-esque flower! I used this Lemon Blueberry cake recipe for the cake … More Triple Lemon Cupcakes
