Because this will definitely make you feel like you’re in heaven/aka on a fluffy cloud of deliciousness in the sky. I don’t know what I’m saying, but the real point here is, despite the fact that this cake technically started off as a bit of a disaster for me (a bit more on that later since […]

I’ve Got My Spine, I’ve Got My Orange Cookie
September 03 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Cookies, Cupcakes
See? Didn’t I promise you no more peanut butter? (well…not no more ever, just not this week. Don’t be crazy 😉 ). I’m a super fan of citrus, so I might be a little biased here (I eat straight lemons (although maybe not? They don’t share their sexuality with me before I devour them 😉 ) […]

I Smell Bourbon Toast
July 30 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Bars, Brownies, Cake, Cookies
….or “After I Got Out From Behind Bars, I Was “Bour-Born” Again” 😉 I was so distraught and melancholy at the conclusion of Canada’s 150th dessert month, that there was only one way to drown my sorrows. You guessed it. Bourbon. But how to consume it midday (or early morning for that matter – I […]

150 Eh? Let’s See Some ID: Chô-meur The Money! (But Québec Me If I’m Wrong)
July 16 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Other Desserts
In case the title wasn’t a literal dead giveaway, this week we enter the realm of “la Belle Province”. There were so, so many options of what I could have made to represent Québec (sugar pie, bûche de Noël – ok, that one would’ve been a weird choice given it’s summer, but still an option […]

Call Me Cherry Jelly, ‘Cause I’m On The Lam(ington)!
June 20 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Candy, Icing, Other Desserts
So I came across the idea for these from one of the random cooking / baking shows that I’m obsessed with (do I remember which one? Of course not 🙁 I have a sneaking suspicion that it was from the couple of episodes of “The Great Australian Bake Off” that I watched after my sadness […]

I Keep Hoping We’ll Eat (Peanut Butter Ball) Cake By The Ocean
May 28 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Candy, Cupcakes, Icing
Have you been thinking to yourself recently “I just don’t have enough peanut butter in my life?” I mean sure, you can put it on toast, and I’m sure you’ve consumed the odd peanut butter ball, but have you found yourself in the position of thinking “Yeah, that’s enough peanut butter”? Because it never is […]

I Pity The (April) Fool: Ridin’ The Gravy Train To Potato Town
April 23 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Candy, Icing, Other Desserts, Pie
It’s the final week! I can’t believe it, April went by so fast. So many more things I would’ve made, but I should maybe save some things so that I can possibly do this again next year since I enjoyed myself so much (hopefully I wasn’t the only one?). And if I can’t wait quite that […]

I Pity The (April) Fool: Gettin’ All Up In My Grill-ed Cheese
April 16 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Cupcakes, Icing, Other Desserts
This week is hands down the best tasting of my “trompe l’oeil” desserts to date. The pound cake I used for the sandwich “bread” was amazing. I think the loaf of pound cake was actually supposed to be much larger then it ended up being. Possibly because I kept tasting the raw batter and “accidentally” […]

It’s The Most Whoopie Pie Time Of The Year
December 25 , 2016 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Candy, Cookies, Icing
I thought that these whoopie pies looked the most visually festive so what better cookie to post for Christmas day? I know, I can’t believe I’m still on top of this and am actually posting on Christmas day either. Go me! #humblebrag (side note (warning!! loooonnnnggg side note 😉 ), I have no idea why I […]
