Everyone loves a Kit Kat bar, especially Bo. We saw a little Kit Kat Cake in the grocery store that he wanted, and I told him I could do WAY better than that. Here it is: super moist chocolate cake with a fudge filling and a smooth, delicious buttercream frosting. And lots (AND LOTS) of…

Bakery Style Oreo Cake
Our Sophie, now four, has always been a girl who knows what she wants. What she wanted for her birthday was a table FULL of different cakes. The first one she asked for was an Oreo cake. I mean, how can you possibly argue with that, who doesn’t love Oreos. She’s seen and drooled over…
Sticky Bun Bundt Cake
Everything you love about a sticky bun (cinnamon swirls, caramel, and praline pecans) in a super moist coffee style bundt cake!
Black Forest Cake Trifle
This Black Forrest Cake Trifle is one of the quickest and easiest cakes you can whip up. All you need is 3 pantry staples to WOW everyone at the table in a matter of minutes. Happy Holidays indeed!
Ricotta Cheesecake Brûlée
A fusion of traditional and Italian style cheesecake leaves this one bursting with bright flavour in every extra smooth and creamy bite. The “icing” on this cake? A crisp, caramelized, brûlée topping that will have everyone begging you for seconds (and the recipe!). We’re finally deep into fall, and there is no place I would…
Hazelnut Cream Cake
Four thin, airy layers of hazelnut torte are sandwiched between billowy, lightly sweetened whipped cream. One of the easiest cakes you can make, and it will have everyone thinking you bought it at a bakery.
Gingerbread Cake
Christmas is right around the corner (surprise, because I’m sure you hadn’t noticed all the in-your-faceness that attacks you everywhere you go). I’m starting to experiment with a few different types of desserts, because I get to have Christmas Dinner for the family at our house this year (WOO HOO!!!!). I probably won’t be nearly as…
Lazy Day Cake
I am beyond excited to finally be sharing this recipe. The reason I haven’t before now is because slices never last long enough to photograph. Hands down, this is my favourite snacking cake. It’s the one that my Nana made all the time when I was growing up, and now it’s the one that I…
Bakery Style Vanilla Sponge Cake
I’ve had the hardest time making a quality vanilla cake. They always come out way too soft compared to the kind you get at a good bakery, and when I have managed to get one that was dense, it was dry too. I literally have half a shelf full of professional baking cookbooks too, and…
Old Fashioned Gingerbread Cake
Sorry for the huge breaks between posts. I’m fighting pneumonia for the second time in a month, and just taking care of the two kids seems to be doing me in most days. That’s not what you’re here for though, to hear me complaining, so lets get to the cake! Bo and Oliver are huge…
Brown Sugar Skillet Cake
Ok, I REALLY like this recipe. It comes together so quick I literally made it in-between trips to the bbq to flip chicken, and it baked up in the oven while we ate. You see how wonderful this is right? I mean, it makes me look like a wiz in the kitchen, one who is…
Mama Dorosch’s Carrot Cake
I can take absolutely zero credit for this cake. It’s my cousin’s Mother-in-Law’s recipe and after watching me drool over the cake for a year she was kind enough to share it with me. It is the ultimate carrot cake. It’s so moist, so full of flavor, and just made up of the perfect texture. I…
Lemon Merinuge (Pie) Cupcakes
I’m assuming that by the name alone you realize there can be nothing bad about these cupcakes. I have yet to find someone who doesn’t like lemon meringue pie (and if you are that person, don’t tell me, because you’ll shatter my entire world). I was absolutely craving lemon meringue pie (no, this does not mean…
Peach Almond Upside Down Cake
The snow finally hit us this week, and even though I’ve spent the last two months complaining about the lack of snow, once it got her I wanted something that reminded me of summer. In the summer I make fruit tarts almost weekly, and always peach or nectarine because they’re Bo’s favorites. So, I figured…
Lemon, Almond, and Honey Finger Cakes
Today we’re going to start with a relaxation exercise. Imagine biting into a cloud; a sweet, fluffy cloud that tastes like it was kissed by a lemon. Exercise over. This is exactly what it feels like you’re doing when you eat this little cake. This is hands down the moistest little cake I’ve ever made or…
Pumpkin Spice Loaf
Alright folks, it’s time to start thinking Christmas baking. Most of my baking I’ve got down pat from the past few years of trial and error, but it just wouldn’t be the holidays without trying to find a few new things. Also, what would be better to pass out to family on Christmas Eve then…
