Eggnog not your thing? How about gingerbread? I love this time of year just for all the gingerbread it brings, it’s definitely one of my favourite flavours. This is a gingerbread cupcake, with ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg giving it that spicy warmth along with some blackstrap molasses. Cream cheese icing seemed the way to [...]

The family that ordered this cake have a knack for coming up with themes that get me so excited. A hungry caterpillar first birthday cake, why yes, yes indeed. I fondly recall loving that book, so very much! I may have used this cake as an excuse to buy a copy.. for research purposes of [...]

With a recipient moving to Georgia the theme of the party was of course “Leaving On A Midnight Train To Georgia” and what better cake fits that theme than the Soul Train.

Everyone’s heard of recycling crayons, Zeebree on Etsy has taken it to cooler new heights by forming them into cupcakes and selling them in bakers boxes. Do you call them cokes, pop, sodas or something else entirely. Someone with far too much time on their hands put together a map of the US by what [...]

It’s a very picture light post today. I wanted to talk a little about cooking with children.. I am by no means an expert on this subject. All of my observations are based on one cooking session with one child and what I remember from cooking while growing up, but I wanted to share what [...]
