Okay, so! Time to pick up from Part 4 of my story. Before I get in too deep, I would just like to acknowledge that there is a very important part of my story that I have not yet mentioned – and that would be the part that tells why I started this blog, and […]
I find that on these crisp, fall days, when the breeze starts to turn toward winter and the first few snowflakes make an appearance here and there, there are few things more satisfying than a hot bowl of soup served with warm, fresh bread. If you haven’t had that experience, I hope this post will […]
Hey everyone! I had intended to write “Part 5” of my story on the blog this week, but frankly, I can’t. I’m just… working and stuff, and I don’t have time. 🙁 Sad day! But I’m thankful for my job, so not too sad – just… you know. Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches, […]
Do you ever feel like you’re just one of those people who walk the path of crazy happenings, and no matter how hard you try to avoid them, you can’t escape? For example, the Fire/Flood that happened to us during the time I made my first wedding cake; that would be a prime example. Last […]
I’ve been making this bread somewhat frequently recently, since these are full days, and finding time to make food is difficult. Having bread on hand is just helpful for busy days, so making large batches of this has been a good move on my part! Especially since Apple Butter has been pouring out of our […]

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!
