You know those friends who have that, history, with you. The ones you can talk to every day, or once a month, or only once a year, yet each time you pick up exactly where you left off and go a million miles a minute until you part. The ones you can go to for anything, anytime and not even have to explain because, they just know. The ones who have seen way too much and know way too much and love you anyway? The lovely Running Yankee asked if I would make her a birthday cake this year, and … [Read more...]
Packaging!! This is a really big deal.
Really big. Huge. This means that 84th & 3rd is about to launch @ThePantry! And what does that mean? Cake! and Cookies! and Slices! and Puddings! and Muffins! It means all natural and preservative free, but more importantly, delicious and addictive and Chocolate and Lemon and Vanilla and...hungry yet? … [Read more...]
Banana Bread French Toast
Yep, this is the second French Toast post in as many months. But the first one was savory, so it had to be balanced out, right? I may have a problem. On a list of problems to have, I'm ok with this one. The colour issues on this photo, not so ok with them - harsh light aside, can anyone tell me how to shoot berries and not have them black?? Anyway, imagine them a lovely dark purple. I have to admit that this has been sitting in a folder for a while in anticipation of sharing Banana Bread … [Read more...]
Talking about the weather, sort of, not really
So we have been on this 'started out as detox / became a way of eating every day / lost a stack of weight without really trying' diet thing for over 6 months now...and although it hasn't really done what it was supposed to do I am now really little [horizontally now too rather than just vertically] for the first time in my life and it has really just become a healthy way of life more than a diet but now it is winter... ...and all I want to do is bake and eat loaves and loaves of bread with … [Read more...]
Someone else making the cake
After a day of lovely text messages and phone calls, rousing [making up in volume what it was lacking slightly in tune] renditions of the song of the day and a surprise cake at work, I finished off my birthday with a very thoughtful gift and a wonderful dinner compliments of my gorgeous husband..... Warned the waiter in advance that I may photograph everything [blur complements of an old iPhone]...RJ's worried that this may be my new favourite restaurant. Bistro Moncur - The taste buds are … [Read more...]
Chocolate Cake Karma
Happy Mother’s Day to mom, mum and all the other wonderful mothers out there! I hope you get a day to do whatever you need to do for yourself. Now on to the real reason we are all here...cake! I'm sharing this recipe with you based on the reaction my girlfriend had when I sent it to her recently...K and I lived together for a semester in college after I got back from my study abroad in Sydney. Other than being in the same organization, we hadn’t really hung out much until then… it ended … [Read more...]
Sprinkles!
Coloured-sugar-bits, gotta love that. Tried out two different recipes to make homemade sprinkles - the first of which I saw here, the second being a bit more of a royal icing...The first batch [on the right] I kept very thick, and it was firm enough to set, but ended up settling as little bubble shaped dots ...does anyone out there remember the candy from the 80's that had bright dots on strips of paper, you know, the ones that never quite came off the backing the way they were supposed to … [Read more...]
