Today I went to visit my sister and to teach her how to make bagels, which, if you follow my blog or know me at all, you would know that I make bagels, I eat bagels, I teach bagel making, and I dream about bagels. You would also know that I have probably made several […]
These simple-to-make-at-home spicy chipotle bagels are amazing. This recipe is just spicy enough to make your mouth tingle, but mild enough to be quickly calmed with a cool glass of water or tempered with a smearing of cool cream cheese. I’m currently daydreaming of loading one up with cream cheese, tomato slices, fresh basil and […]
Today I’m going to share a long-time family favourite recipe, featuring my sweet younger sister Tabithah, with whom I’ve thought for a long time would be fun to make a cooking video. She is hilarious. I know you can’t tell by these pictures, but trust me. It’s true. The main drawback I have to that idea […]
Hey everyone! A little while ago, I shared some pictures of this decadent dark chocolate cake, and I sort of teased that I *might* share the recipe for that black-dark chocolate buttercream. So, today, I have decided to do it – It is soooooo amazing looking, I just had to share! The recipe is super […]
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of making these sweet onesie cookie favours for my sister-in-law’s baby shower. The shower was “Winnie-the-Pooh” themed, and it was a gender reveal shower as well– meaning that I didn’t have a particular colour scheme to work with.

I love spring, and these simple, sweet blossom cookies are just perfect for this time of year. I’ve made cookies like this as favours for bridal showers and weddings, or just as a sweet treat to welcome the season. Regardless of whether you’re serving these on a pretty plate with pastel napkins or packaged up in […]
I’ve spent the last several hours sporadically sifting through old photos in an effort to organize them, and, instead of making any progress, I’ve just gotten all melancholy thinking about days gone by and how much I miss people that I don’t get to see anymore. (Am I the only person who can relate to […]
Vegan, gluten free, easy, dark chocolate, and truffles. Need I say more? This recipe for coconut cream truffles is so simple, so delicious, and so beautiful that I think they pretty much make the perfect gift (for yourself or someone else!). Why this recipe A few years ago, well before my blog was called NaomiCakes, […]
Blueberry and lemon might be one of my favourite combinations. Sweet, rich coloured blueberries paired with tart, fresh lemon always makes for a very pretty and very tasty dessert. This particular recipe is super simple and quick, and it turns out a product that’s a whole lot more impressive looking than they are complicated […]
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 […]
