GIVEAWAY & Strawberry Basil Macarons made with Real Strawberries (Template)

  THE CHALLENGE OF USING REAL STRAWBERRIES On the road of recipe development, there are those recipes which feels somewhat effortless and taste great the very first or second try, and then there are those which make you want to pull your hair out and abandon the project altogether.

How to Make Hand Painted Floral Macaron Favors

Painting my own Macaron Pottery at Bella Ceramica in West Vancouver

On a typical winter day in Vancouver, the list for fun things-to-do can wither down somewhat due to the never ending West Coast rainfall.

Double Chocolate Bears with Tiny Jack-O-Lanterns (w/Template)

I don’t usually do much baking for Halloween since I like to jump straight into preparations for the Christmas holiday season once September comes around.
