CARDAMOM SHORTBREAD COOKIES Roopa I used one quarter of this recipe, and added 12 ground cardamom pods (about 1.5 tsp). They smell like cardamom, but the flavour didn’t go through too intensely. Next time, I would leave the cardamom in bigger chunks (and maybe add a few more pods) instead of grinding it so much.
Roopa I don’t think I’ll be posting much until Christmas time (when I get to go home to my oven!)
Roopa I got a baking blowtorch for my birthday (!!!!) and finally got an opportunity to use it! I made s’mores cupcakes, because what is better to torch than marshmallow?! I made a graham cracker based cupcakes (adapted from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World), and covered them in marshmallow creme and a piece of … More S’mores Cupcakes
Roopa Tomorrow is my last day working at the Lego store this summer, so I decided to make a Lego brick shaped cake for the occasion. I made a vanilla cake with a white chocolate buttercream icing so I could food colour it pretty easily. I made a 9"X13" cake and cut it in half … More Lego Cake
NUTELLA SANDWICH COOKIES Roopa I made a batch of cookies, and I used half chocolate chips and half Skor bits. I also skipped the vanilla pudding, because it’s really not necessary; it just has a bunch of preservatives that help keep the cookies soft. I had some leftover Nutella icing from a cake I made last … More Nutella Sandwich Cookies
NUTELLA CHOCOLATE CAKE Roopa I am going to be moving to Vancouver pretty soon to start my after-degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics. My friend Nick was pretty invaluable during the application process, so to thank him I made him a chocolate cake with Nutella icing. I tried to make it sort of prosthetics themed, which is … More Prosthetics Cake
Roopa I found a new recipe for red velvet cupcakes, so I thought I’d give it a try. I haven’t actually seen many eggless recipes, and none of the ones I’ve tried have been as good as the normal version. The ones I tried were adapted from ‘Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World’ with some … More Red Velvet Cupcakes
NUTELLA CUPCAKES Roopa I made a batch of these cupcakes with some leftover icing from this cake. ❤ Nutella.
Roopa My good friends Marcus and Michelle got engaged this month, so obviously a cake was in order. They both LOVE Nutella so it needed that, but I also wanted to incorporate M&Ms (their names both start with M, so M and M…hahaha I’m so clever…). Since it was for an engagement, I also wanted … More Nutella Engagement Cake
Roopa I have a few people to make cupcakes for this week, and they told me to be creative, so I decided to give PB&J cupcakes a try. It’s pretty much my favourite so I figured I really couldn’t go wrong. I used a vanilla base with a peanut butter white chocolate icing, and filled … More PB&J Cupcakes
