It’s Alive!! Pretty In Pink Furry Frosted Tiered Cake
This guy. What a weird cake. “Cousin It” cake. Pink shag rug cake. Textured avant garde wedding cake?? This cake was going to be a “how to make a tiered bird cake” tutorial. But when I finished frosting the thing it made me chuckle so much and I just loved the look of it on […]

Little Rainbow Party
I was inspired by this beautiful wooden rainbow stacking toy to create a simple rainbow party! Nope, no buckets of crazy colored buttercream or tie-dye cupcake insides or layers of coloured cake here! Just some lovely vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream, dressed to impress in every-colour-of-the-rainbow cupcake liners and fashioned with colourful flags. Children’s parties […]
Sweet & Salty Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
COOKIE! PAINNNNNN! Why aren’t I 600 pounds! COOKIESSSSS How do you elevate the humble little cookie buddy that is the oatmeal raisin cookie?

Pink Tiger Cake + Mini Ruffly Cupcake Buddies
I kind of just want to cuddle this fluffy pink tiger face and give it a big old squeeze hug! But that’s just not a cool idea! Especially since I have an aversion to food, namely dairy products, on my face. Weird, yes. You won’t see me indulging in a Cleopatra-inspired milk bath. Yuck! Although […]

Pretty as a Peacock Party Cake!
Our friend Joel is celebrating a super special milestone this month – marking one year of sobriety. He is a die-hard NHL Vancouver Canucks fan (even though he is from Montana) and has never been to a hockey game – so it seemed like the coolest and most special gift ever to give him two […]
Maybe Possibly the Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
I LOVE COOKIES!! I think I may be on a lifelong search for the best vegan 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, […]
