Happy New Years everyone! I hope everyone had a great holiday season. Mine was spent baking my little heart out for clients and holiday gifts. It was a crazy time (but when are the holidays not?) so I was happy to pack my bags and get away on a trip to Europe on Christmas Eve. […]
How to Bake Two-Colored Galaxy Macarons
The last tutorial I wrote on How to Bake Multi-Colored Macarons required a specialized three part coupler. It’s a great tool for creating more definition between the three different batter colours. I have it listed in my online shop and you can check it out here. However, I appreciate that not everyone may have access to this tool so I […]
On the Radio & This Year’s Christmas Bear Macarons
Over the long weekend holiday, I had the pleasure of being on Ms. Deborah Moore’s radio show along with my dear friend Jo from White Roses and Coffee. During the hour-long segment, Deborah shared her recent Japan trip highlights with her viewers and talked to us about why and how we use social media. One […]
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.

Well, here is the first template I’m releasing from those requests. It’s everyone’s favorite cat – Hello Kitty. I think I’ve loved Kitty since the early […]

Here is the second set of goodies I made for Bestie’s Surprise Wedding which I first posted about two weeks ago in the Cherry Blossom Macaron Cake Tutorial.

Big Cherry Blossom Macaron Cake with Big Macaron Shell Template
Have you ever been to a surprise wedding before? This was my first time baking for one and being the maid of honour at the same time. Two weeks ago, my bestie threw an amazing wedding party which surprised all of the guests in attendance. It was a warm overcast summer day which made it the […]
Cherry Blossom Wedding Macarons with Royal Icing Roses
I’m always excited every year when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. When can you really see such an abundance of PINK in nature? Walking underneath clouds of pink fluffy blossoms is just the most magical feeling. I remember the first time I arrived in Japan as a high school exchange student, the blossoms […]
