Alana Here we go (finally)! The cake for Stephen and Ash’s wedding day! The process of making the actually wedding cake spanned the course of three days.

Alana This post is coming a little bit (read “a lot”) later than I would have liked thanks to the busy holiday season. Somehow all of the parties and dinners that I baked for took up a lot of time!

Alana This project isn’t baking per say, but it is very related to baking that I mentioned in my last wedding cake post (aka Theresa and I are baking and decorating a practice cake in a couple days).

After the scones we decided to make banana bread. The only unfortunate part about this banana bread is that Theresa and I didn’t get to … More Bachelor Party Part II: Banana Banana Bread
Alana This past weekend was Stephen’s bachelor party, and unfortunately Theresa and I were not able to attend. Stephen and his buddies road tripped it out to Panorama for some skiing and chilling in the mountains. Road trips mean snacks, so Theresa and I decided to whip up a few things for Stephen and company … More Bachelor Party Part I: Cheddar and Caramelized White Chocolate Scones
Alana As I mentioned in my post on creme brulee, I made a batch of swiss meringue buttercream with Theresa to do another test-run for Stephen and Ashlea’s wedding cake.
