How to Make Hand Painted Floral Macaron Favors
Last weekend my dear blogger pal, Samantha, hosted a Food Bloggers of Canada meetup potluck at her lovely home and these hand painted macarons were my little contribution. I didn’t have a specific theme in mind when I started and everything just kind of came together after I picked up some delicious duck and apricot pâté from Oyama […]
Pink Baby Monkey Macarons with Template
I made these baby monkey macarons for the 100 day celebration for BFF’s baby girl. She was born at the latter part of last year and she recently turned 3 months old.

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. I always find it interesting that so many people rejoice the return of the Fall season while I, on the other hand, find the season a bit meloncholy. Having to say goodbye to my […]
Salted Caramel Recipe & Donut Macaron Template
When I started to make caramel at home, I finally realized why I loved the taste so much. Butter, cream and sugar are basically the main ingredients in salted caramel (salt too obviously). If you’ve ever read my bio, you know I am basically IN LOVE with butter. And when I mean in love, I […]
Horse Carousel Macaron Cake Collab with SILPAT Mats & GIVEAWAY (w/ Template)
I’m thrilled to unveil this Horse Carousel Macaron Cake I made in collaboration with my favourite brand for silicone mats – Silpat.
