BUTTERBEER Roopa My sister came to visit me for a few days so we decided to make butterbeer!!!!! I followed this recipe pretty closely, except one is root beer and one is cream soda. I felt like I was in a diabetic coma after drinking it, but it was completely worth it!
BAILEYS CUPCAKES Roopa It was my friend/classmate Gillian’s birthday in August, but we were both home for summer so her birthday baking was a little delayed. We decided on Baileys cupcakes as a post-midterm treat, and mini eggs on top because mini eggs are spectacular. These were definitely made on a time constraint, so I … More Baileys Birthday Cupcakes
Roopa I had a reunion with my friend Kelsey for the first time in two years!! She’s off doing her doctorate in the United States, so we don’t get to see each other too often. Back in high school we used to love having baking dates, so some sort of baking was high on the … More Sea Salt Chocolate Cookies: V2
Roopa I had a birthday outing last night and a few of my friends can’t really eat dairy, so I decided to try out a vegan cheesecake recipe from Minimalist Baker. I adapted it a little based on what I had, but they turned out really well! I asked for some constructive feedback from everyone, and … More Vegan Mini-Cheesecakes
Roopa It’s my birthday today! Yay!!! In honour of turning a quarter century, I decided to bake myself a butterbeer cake because butterscotch = amazing. I used Betty Crocker gluten free cake mix and made myself a mini cake, and used the remnant icing to make cupcakes. I based it off of these butterbeer cupcakes that … More Gluten-free Butterbeer Cake
Roopa I was requested to do some baking this weekend, and was really feeling the lack of cupcakes in my life. I considered a few possibilities and at the end laziness won, so I made whatever I could that didn’t involve me leaving my house. I had a little bit of peanut butter and some … More Banana Cream filled Cupcakes with Butterscotch-Peanut Butter Icing
Roopa It was my boyfriend’s brother’s birthday last week, and I ditched out on going to visit a friend this weekend, so I decided to make some mailable treats! I can’t say I’ve ever done this before, so I’m not entirely sure what works best. Cupcakes were obviously out of the question, and I was … More Peanut Butter Bars
Roopa This particular baking endeavour was largely inspired by the leftover icing I had from these purple velvet cupcakes. Once again, I looked to Sprinklebakes for ideas and came across this Mast Brothers Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. It looked pretty phenomenal so I decided to make cookie sandwiches with that. Admittedly, my version is the … More Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches
Roopa After what felt like ages, I’ve had the opportunity to bake something! I had finals through April, and a practicum (and subsequent lack of kitchen) through May, and then some travelling around at the start of June. For my first foray back into baking, I wanted to try something new! I found this recipe for … More Purple Velvet Cupcakes
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! I wanted to make them spring-like so I decided to go with a lemon icing. EGGLESS VANILLA CUPCAKES (24 medium) 1-¾ cups … More Easter Mini Egg Cupcakes
