Continuing from Last Week… _____________________________ Sometimes I look back on the things that I’ve done and wonder how I had the courage to even try the things that I did, when I did, with what I had. I was 16 when I decided to make wedding cakes, and I had almost no experience; just the […]
I left off Last Week telling you that I had purchased The Essential Guide to Cake Decorating with a mind to make cakes, which would thus fulfil my requirement to graduate High School, and would also allow me to pursue a skill that I thought I would enjoy. My first exposure to making cakes for […]
Okay: Apple Butter simmering on the stove, hot coffee in hand, and feet propped up for writing – I think I’m ready to start telling this story. I recently mentioned that I wanted to share about some of my journey making cakes, and well… Thinking about it, I realized I kind of need to go […]
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone, a couple of days late! I had intended to write something on the day of the holiday, instead of a few days late– but anything I wrote ended up being a little too lengthy. Instead, I’ll just say – I hope you had a wonderful day, and wherever you are […]
Early this past September I had the distinct privilege of making this cake for Michal and Courtney’s wedding at Caesar’s Windsor; and what an adventure it was! The cake was complete with edible gold glitter, made from sugar to provide extra texture for its look, and edible hand-made sugar peonies, which took me about 6 […]
Here’s something exciting: I’ve just helped my parents start a new blog! The blog is called “Hospitality Sunday,” and it’s about food. Spiritual food (Bible teaching/devotionals), and physical food (recipes). My Dad is the author of the former section, and my Mom (along with myself) the author of the latter. It’s kind of a unique […]
Yes, it’s true. I am back!! You may know, or you may not, that I’ve been in Germany for 3 years, which is why this blog has suffered so greatly for lack of content/current-ness. It’s true that I won’t necessarily be able to keep it up as much as I like, at least for the […]
Ever since I posted my Butter Croissants Recipe (the instructions of which I just edited slightly to make it a little easier, btw), I’ve been itching to make chocolate croissants – and well, it finally happened! The secret to this success? Simple. Follow the the directions for making my Butter Croissant Dough exactly. When you’re ready […]
Some of you have probably already seen this if you follow me on Facebook, but for those who haven’t, may I present… A cake! As usually happens when I don’t have any new tutorials, I am posting pictures of my latest cake creation. This one was a real treat to make! The theme was Art […]
Cherry pie: If there’s anything filled with nostalgia as being “The best dessert ever,” from my childhood, this would be it. I remember one time in particular, my mom had made a large dessert spread sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and we had a group of people come over to visit for a few hours. […]
