Have you not yet heard of Shuna Fish Lydon??? Not only am I a great fan of her blog, Eggbeater, her writing, her teaching and her experience, I’m also now a fan of her signature caramel cake. Currently off in London, us, um, thousand or so Daring Bakers, were able to still enjoy and learn from...

Filbert Gateau with Praline Buttercream – July Daring Bakers

Well, here we are, it’s that Time of The Month again. Aren’t I so lucky that this event so often comes along with cake!? Another ground nut, torte-like cake this month. But not just any other – Hazelnuts, my favourite. The nut so good, it tastes like chocolate.  …So much so...

Also Goes Great With Tea Coffee Cake

I know that Mother’s Day has come and gone, but I just had to share this perfect everyday, great with tea or Coffee Cake. One of the many things that I’ve learned through my Nana and her baking is that men love coffee cake. It’s a crazy notion, but you can go ahead and quote me on...

Cheesecake Pops

This is twice now that I’ve suddenly noticed Daring Baker posts all over the interwebs a little early. I quickly found that we were able to post three days before the end of the month. Regardless, I learned my lesson in reading the fine print and got to the recipe. … And then I found how...

Brown Sugar Scones

In response to a quick visit from an old friend coming for tea, I naturally made for the kitchen. I’d set aside my quest for a recipe to use up the copious amounts of extra coconut I had from the Perfect Party Cake and thought that the best morning treat with tea would have to be scones. My friend...

Montréal, March Break, Maple Syrup & Madeleines.

Mmmm. Hopefully this is the post worth waiting for. Since being whisked off for a quick French get away, I ate my way through all of Montréal’s renown food samples. Squeaking a flight through a crazy snowstorm, even for Québec standards, safe at home I brought out my sack of goodness from...

My Sweet Vegan – Book Review

I was almost as excited when I was asked to review Hannah Kaminsky’s new cook book, My Sweet Vegan as I was tearing open the package sent with the book inside. Inviting, fresh and bright, there are full page colour photos for every of the 77 recipes! Flipping through the pages there were so many...

Little Bit of Old Fashioned Loving

This cake is super easy, really the toughest thing was prepping the pan. It’s a perfect balance of tart and sweet, elegant for tea and a perfect crumb for a picnic. Almost too perfect, I found myself snacking on it instead of lunch. Every so often I come across a recipe that reminds me of my grandmother,...

Chocolate Raspberry Torte

Not like there is any mystery that I love chocolate, but I’d realized that I hadn’t yet created a torte recipe. What better than Valentine’s week to do the dessert cart? Generally, a torte is a flourless cake, often using bread crumbs or ground nuts in it’s place, resulting in...
