Happy New Years everyone! I hope you had a very wonderful holiday season and found some time to bake some goodies too. For me, it seems I actually did most of my baking in October and November. All the usual holiday get togethers got the best of me plus we also made a short trip up […]

Dragon Ball Macaron Surprise Cake with VIDEO & TEMPLATE

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of creating another “Macaron Surprise Cake” due to a request from a client. It’s been quite a while since I posted the original tutorial for this cake and I didn’t have any other opportunities to make another one since. There just always seem to be so many new projects that call for my […]

How to Make a Big Macaron Cake

  “Never trust a girl who doesn’t eat desserts.” Luckily, I don’t have that problem in my foodie friend Nora, or otherwise known as @nomnomyvr on Instagram. Three weeks ago, she asked me to bake her a big macaron cake for her birthday. At that time, I was super busy with other events and I told her […]

We just finished moving into our new home and we’ve only been here one week. Initially, we had no plans to host a Housewarming Party so soon. However, the opportunity for us to do so came up sooner than anticipated because all our family members happened to be in town, including my favourite aunt who […]

Macaron Surprise! Cake

It was my friend’s housewarming party and she decided to have a potluck. As usual, I offer to bring the desserts. Not that I’m the baker in the group or anything but one thing is for sure, I’m definitely not the cook! I like bringing cakes to festivities because it always seem to bring people […]

Tea Time at Mimi’s & Bear on Tree (or Magic Mushroom?) Template

A few months back on Instagram, I shared my “secret” happy place during my trip to Portland. It’s where I purchased the Ice Cream shaped measuring cups that are featured in my Best French Macaron Tutorial which many of you have wrote me about. On this particular visit to Home Goods, I found this adorable three […]

Afternoon Tea at the Ritz Carlton Hong Kong

You all know I love afternoon tea.  I don’t think there’s any afternoon tea that I’m not willing to try and when it comes to tea at the Ritz, it doesn’t take any convincing for me. Prior to my trip to Hong Kong, bestie and I had been frantically and excitedly whats’apping each other about […]

Cute Panda Bear Macarons with Template

I’m sure you can tell bears are one of my favourite #macaronart animals. My love affair with teddy bears and stuffed animals, in general, started when I was young. Eventually, over the course of my life, I ended up accumulating many a bears and to hubby’s consternation, our bed has slowly been invaded by little stuffed […]

Afternoon Tea at Mosquito in Gastown

Here is Part 2 of 3 of the events I shared with Deborah Moore this morning on AM1470. It’s rare to find a late night dessert bar that is both sophisticated and sexy in this city but there is one establishment that happens to possess that elusive quality – Mosquito in Gastown. Opened since 2015, […]
