t.y.p.o.g.r.a.p.h.y. cupcakes!
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 […]
Spelt Flour Banana Chocolate Chip Cake
I love chocolate chip banana cakeeeeeeee! ^__^ Golden autumn days: brown crunchy leaves, the hesitant start of long sleeves and a dusting of grey clouds rolling in… here in Vancouver, we hope for the sun but await the rain… but we’ve been mega blessed thusfar with a fine fall – days of sunshine, even as […]

Pretty On The Inside: Simple Ombre Cake Tutorial!
How about a slice of cake with that green beer? St.Patty’s Day is a “holiday” I don’t think I ever partied to.

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! […]

Brody’s Angry Birds 5th Birthday Party!
My cute and sweet little nephew Brody turned 5! This seems crazy to me… I remember his 1st birthday party, Totoro themed, where we spent hours making a backdrop of trees and leaves and mini felt Totoros and I sweated it out making oodles of cupcakes and a Totoro cake. I believe it was my […]
