Chocolate Hazelnut Raspberry Tart

I'll be honest - I thought of this tart while trying to fall asleep.  In my half-asleep stupor I made the right call of making a note on my phone, because I would have totally forgotten about it otherwise. I took inspiration from my fig tart from a few weeks ago, I had the leftover … Continue reading Chocolate Hazelnut Raspberry Tart

Cloud Donuts

The best thing about donuts in my opinion is their versatility in terms of both decoration and flavour.  You can glaze 'em, fill 'em, dust' em, ANYTHING. I wanted to up the pretty factor on these donuts with a heavenly cloudy sky blue and coconut to make them look extra fluffy, but you can make … Continue reading Cloud Donuts

Yellow Cake with Fudge Icing

Everyone has a weakness (or 6) on Instagram.  Whether it be puppy videos, white sand beaches, or weird memes, there's something that you always send to that one friend endlessly.

Maple Pear Bourbon Pie

Not to exaggerate, but this pie is going to warm your soul and make you ok with the fact that we're still a month or two away from spring pies. This winter I've really started to appreciate pear pies - I think they're definitely underrated and they're so versatile.  Pears go perfectly with chocolate, spices … Continue reading Maple Pear Bourbon Pie

These blondies are chock full of all good things like … Continue reading Nutella Stuffed Cookie Crumble Blondies

Cinnamon Buns with Cream Cheese Icing

For the past couple of weekends I'd been thinking about making morning buns, but I didn't have enough time in the morning to wait for the rise, etc.  It's a darn good thing I did this weekend because the result was the most glorious cinnamon buns I've ever made. My Grandma and I have been … Continue reading Cinnamon Buns with Cream Cheese Icing
