Why hello there, Friends and Fellow Bakers! Here we are, ready to talk about Swedish Princess cake, which was featured on the Season 2 finale of GCBS. I remember the first time I saw this episode, I hated this cake, which puts it into a category of bakes I was not very enthused to do […]

Proving Ground #10: Mediocre Test Bakes
Behind every great bake stands at least one mediocre test bake, and that is #FACTS. I don’t make the rules. Today I offer my two most recent: Not Quite Anadama Bread and Sloppy Cookie Decorating. Click here to see more about these two bakes (spoiler alert: they were both mediocre), and I will be back […]
Technical Bake #14: Brioche à Tête (Manual Method, No Mixer!)
Why, hello there, Friends and Fellow Bakers! I am happy to report that I had an excellent rebound after the soul crushing experience that was the Marshmallow Puffs last week. The baking gods giveth as they taketh away. Or something. Today I am here to tell you about Brioche à Tête, made without a mixer, […]
Proving Ground Bake #9: Reviving Sourdough and Black Cocoa Cupcakes
Why hello there, Friends and Fellow Bakers! Once again, I have a little Proving Ground post up for you to have a look at while I am working on writing my next technical. This week I revived and named my sourdough starter and I also found my way back to a semblance of comfort with […]
Technical Bake #13: Marshmallow Puffs
Welcome back, Friends and Fellow Bakers! Whew. Unlucky number 13 was a doozy! MUCH HARDER THAN EXPECTED! But I got it done and here we are: Marshmallow Puffs. This is a copycat recipe of Viva Puffs (also known as Whippets in Quebec, apparently #learning #luvucbc). This cookie was featured on Season 3, Biscuit Week of […]

Technical Bake #12: Garden Dumplings
Hello friends and fellow bakers! Here we are at bake number 12, which is also the most un-bake-like technical I have to do for this project. Garden Dumplings (CBC recipe here) were featured on the first and only (so far) botanical week on GCBS. Where to begin? This bake was not a bake at all. […]
Proving Ground Bake #7: Pain L’Ancienne
Hello Friends and Fellow Bakers! I am working away on my next post! In the meantime, head over to the Proving Ground to read (and watch!) about this wonderful baguette I made which is one of my personal favourites!

Technical Bake #11: Braided Challah with Apple Butter
My Friends and Fellow Bakers! I have some hilarious and exciting news: this technical is actually a BONUS and now the total number of technicals I will be doing for this challenge will be 33 instead of 32 as originally planned. How did this happen? LET ME TELL YOU A STORY. I have had the […]
Proving Ground Bake #6-ISH
Oh my Friends and Fellow bakers! I made a nice batch of cupcakes to post on Proving Ground and to practice making TikToks and then I accidentally deleted all the photos and now I literally only have the TikTok to share. Seriously, I am not kidding. I don’t even have the real speed video which […]
