Cakes
Sometimes cake just isn’t exciting enough. Sometimes you need to take a hunks of a perfectly good cake, roll them in your hands like you’re a kid (only your hands are clean in this scenario unlike a child’s grubby-playdoh-sandbox-poo-covered hands), and then drown the cake balls in frosting. And then you eat the cake balls […]

Wow, wow, wow. I made this cake (after being duly inspired by Martha Stewart’s version) years ago, and People Took Notice (yes, in caps). I shared the recipe with you a while back with raspberries making center stage (remember the Crazy-Good Raspberry Cake?), but knew that strawberries needed their day in the sun (ha!). I […]

As soon as I found lemon chips on a recent splurge at the Bulk Barn in Toronto I knew I was done for. Have you ever seen lemon chips? Me neither. (When I say lemon chips I mean like chocolate chips, not potato chips. Lemony potato chips would be gross. Come on.) So I realized […]

There’s a lot going on here, and it’s all for a good cause. Trust me. For most people, all you need to do is hear the word ‘trifle’, and it’s pretty much game over… because really- anything layered in between fresh whipped cream is a winner, and we all know it. But what if said […]

First off, let’s get this out of the way: yes, it IS possible to bake cake into ice cream cup cones. So now that you know that, I know you won’t be able to not make these. Who needs cupcakes when you can have cake cones? Especially in the summer? Secondly, let’s get this out of […]

I know. It’s impressive. It’s so… American. You can’t not sing the national anthem (or at least hum it in your head) after slicing into this patriotic cake. You can’t not see fireworks after stabbing your fork into the layers of Red Velvet Cake and Buttermilk Vanilla Cake glued together with Cream Cheese Frosting. And you can’t not love […]

I am a girl who loves banana bread. And although I can’t do coffee anymore (still mourning the fact that my stomach says an adamant No to caffeine, even decaf tea and coffee, boo hoo), I bake with it as often as I can so I can live vicariously through the lives of the lucky […]

I had heard rumors about this cake on the internet machine. Was it really true? Was it really possible? Could one actually mix and bake a cake in its baking pan without having to dirty a single bowl in the kitchen (Fantasyland, here we come!)? Yes. Imagine taking the ingredients, tossing them into your baking pan, […]

I love nothing more than a baking request. (Well, that might be an exaggeration. I love Kosta Browne wine [we got on the wine club list! we got on the wine club list! we got on the wine club list! after only 3 years of waiting, we got on the wine club list!] + The […]

Finally, I understand what all the fuss is about. I was living under a bit of a rock, I’m afraid. But now I’ve seen the light. I’ve baked my way into it and there’s no turning back. I’m talking about this glorious Red Velvet Cake, which is rich, moist, and almost crushed under the weight […]

This dessert is kind of like a Valentine’s month must. Everyone likes cheesecake, and the people that say they don’t really like cheesecake don’t really know what they are talking about. They just haven’t tried this cheesecake, maybe. Because who could resist a little mini cheesecake? And the jam- it’s red for God’s sake- who […]

It’s the simple things in life that are so damed good sometimes. Like Bundt cakes. Bundt cakes make me happy. Giddy, really. It’s kind of goofy, but by now you know that goofy comes with the Moore Sweets, Please package. (I don’t know if there is a site called More Serious Sweets, Please, but if […]

Yes, this dessert happened. And there’s no turning back. My life will never be the same and now yours will never be either. On the ‘How Incredible Are These, Really?’ scale, I think I have to give them a ‘Really Freaking Incredible’ rating (nearing the territory of ‘Total and Utter Perfection’, only awarded to the […]

Do you ever want a cake that’s not too sweet? Me neither. But some of you do, I know, and it’s my aim to please all tastes and preferences. So if I’m going to serve up a not too sweet cake, then you need to trust that I’m going to make it a good one. […]

This is rich. And dense. And chocolately. And hazelnutty. Think of it as Nutella for adults, in the form of a cake. (By the way- do you say it like nut-ella or noo-tella? I say nut-ella because I pronounce the word nut like nut. I’d never say “this cake has hazelnoots“. Please join me in the campaign to say […]

When I tell you that ‘Gâteau Breton’ is just French for ‘freaking awesome cake’, believe me. (Well. Gateau does mean cake en francais, but that’s the end of the translation class.) All you need to know is that this cake has a remarkable number of reasons to bake it into your life: Caramel. This cake can […]

I’m so excited by these cupcakes. And I think you are, too, judging by how your pulse quickened a bit after reading the title of this post. Look at the picture. See that gooey Rolo tucked into the best chocolate cake batter ever? See it in all its tempting glory? Yes, I know. It’s almost […]

Don’t get all “sour cream?” on me, with that look on your face. You know that a baked potato would be nothing but for the sour cream (and the cheese and the bacon and the chives, and the butter, too, but you grasp my point), so why question it in a cake? I wondered about […]
