cupcakes with bite pt 2

So after all the prep and the waiting (the how-to for these cupcake bites can be found here), the dipping and decorating was the most time consuming but also the most fun! I found that letting the chocolate drip down a little bit made these cuties look more like authentic cupcakes. I also came across [...]

I’m not gonna lie: I went a bit crazy with taking pictures for this latest project, so this post will be a two-fer. This first part will be the prep work and such. I’ll include the recipes for another one of Bakerella’s amazing concoctions with a little bit of my own added twist.  The second [...]

After some foodie [...]

oh yes, please double dip my oreo cheesecake truffles in chocolate

One of my favouritest people from Apple asked me to save her from buying/baking something mediocre for her sleepover party that she’s attending. Jen’s only requests were that whatever I made should be very chocolatey and shouldn’t contain coconut. Pretty easy, right? Well, I pretty much jumped at the opportunity to finally try out the [...]

macaroon or macaron?

In this case, macaroons won out for me tonight!
For those of you who don’t know the difference that the extra “o” makes: the macaroon is made with shredded coconut and is crunchy on the outside while nice and soft and chewy on the inside – meanwhile, the macarons are French specialty cookies made from ground [...]
