COOKIE PAIN CONTINUES! “I think I heard someone say ‘BIRTHday party’…!?“ My good pal Christa and her pal Moberley are super stoked on these Smartie cookies you can get at the cookie shop on the local University campus here in Vancouver. So we tried making them and, well… they were pretty good but they just […]
Maybe Possibly the Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
I LOVE COOKIES!! I think I may be on a lifelong search for the most delicious chocolate chip cookies. Any bakery I step into, I examine the chocolate chip cookie. Often I will buy it, and sadly more often than not I am disappointed. But not in a jerky way! But… maybe it’s too puffy, […]

Cupcakes I made for my friend Lori’s design class! Dark chocolate with vanilla buttercream swirls and my favourite round rainbow sprinkles. Did you know this type of sprinkles has a specific name – nonpareils, or hundreds and thousands, or “jimmies”…! Sprinkles are kind of like the cutest invention ever. They really do add a party-time […]

Milk Chocolate Chunk Cookies With Pink Sea Salt
Is there another word for chunk? I did a thesaurus-y type search but didn’t come up with anything I liked. “Piece” doesn’t describe the size like “chunk” does. Morsel sounds too… mushroomy, or small? Blob or glob sounds too blobby and globby. Anyhow, let me know if you think of anything! It’s driving me crazy! […]
