Who here likes cookie dough for breakfast? (Time to picture me putting my hands up and all that jazz. I can never say no to cookies first thing in the morning!). Though I know what you’re all thinking now “Cookies? For breakfast? Are you right […]

Peanut Butter Caramel Chocolate Cake

This cake. It’s probably a good thing that I don’t have a proper oven in my dorm because I’d totally give up on life and spend the rest of my days laying in bed in my pyjamas, re-watching GoT for the 22738th time devouring slice after slice […]

Skinny Brown Sugar Vanilla Cheesecake

August 9, 2021 1 comment

Though truth to be true, the portion of cheesecake I had was the tiniest thing ever, which kinda makes me want to cry, since this one is one of the most decadent, luscious and creamiest recipes I’ve ever come across. Too bad I made this […]

What’s better than Saturday mornings with a warm mug of tea and a stack of cloudy pancakes smothered in syrup and topped with a dab of melty butter? Nothing. NO-THING. Oh well, a morning without homework would have been much better, but a girl has […]

Frozen Strawberry Crunch

August 2, 2021 2 comments

This is definitely one of my all-time favorite desserts! Frozen Strawberry Crunch reminds me of a more ‘mature and formal’ version of those strawberry crunch bars I ate as a child in the summertime. I have had this on my ‘to bake’ list for the […]

Cinna-bun cake is one of the trendiest foods in the world. Chinese cuisine is one of my favorites, and I love it. I watched a video of this recipe while browsing the internet and just had to make it. There were variations, ways, and ingredients […]

Soft Baked Breakfast Bars

These Soft Baked Breakfast Bars are a total win. Win win win! They’re full of fruit, fiber, flavour and they keep me full so that I don’t feel the urge to eat 6 of them (like I do with chocolate chip cookies… Sigh…). For fruit […]

Italian Raspberry Crostata (Crostata Marmellata)

July 17, 2021 Comments are Disabled

Something you’ll find all over cafes in Italy are gorgeous golden tarts, called Crostata Marmellata. Marmellata means jam, which is exactly what they’re filled with – strawberry, raspberry, cherry and, one of my favourites, apricot. They’ll only set you back as much as that avocado […]

There are no major expectations and no specific requirements. It just has to be a) fun, and b) delicious enough to warrant eating the batter. In my job, I bake every day. The things I bake at work need to look a certain way, taste a certain way and cost a […]

Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies

July 15, 2021 1 comment

I’ve been busy baking, candy-making, testing and re-testing. I’ve been photographing, writing, editing, freaking out and panicking. I’ve been proud and thrilled when things turn out exceptionally and then completely annoyed and frustrated when things don’t come out right the first time around. That’s the […]

July 10, 2021 Comments are Disabled

This dessert has the texture of a brownie, but uses the technique of a cake…..it kind of has two personalities. It starts with creaming butter and sugar. You’ve done that before right? The sugar crystals pierce through the fat and introduce air, creating little tiny […]
