Yeah! A reason to use the madeleines tin I bought last year! I was really into making them when I first bought it (I think in the first week I owned it, I made madeleines like four times). Then I basically forgot about it, and have now opted to allow it a resurgence so that […]

Don’t Be Sour, Pucker Up And I’ll Cake You To Coffee Town
July 24 , 2016 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake
I know I’ve a had few times on this blog where I’ve mentioned that I’m not always the biggest cake fan (although that is more because most cakes have one (or more) of the following issues in my personal opinion. 1. Too dry, 2. Too dense (but not in a good, fudgey brownie way, more […]

The Nostalgic Ice Cream On The Cake: I’m Rum Raisin’ The Roof
June 19 , 2016 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Cupcakes, Icing
…or rum raisin’ the bar because man, these are so so good (really Amber – don’t sugar coat it, tell us how you really feel you modest modest baker you 😉 ). Here’s the thing though, in the interest of each “ice cream” flavoured cake post being slightly different, I wanted to do a different form of […]

The Nostalgic Ice Cream On The Cake: A Mint Chip Off The Old Block
June 12 , 2016 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Cupcakes, Icing
What would a month worth of ice cream flavoured cakes be without actually consuming said cake out of an actual ice cream cone? Luckily, I’m here to save the day and provide you with this option. Portable, whimsical, and deliciously bite sized (if you’re down with using mini ice cream cones anyway. Feel free to […]

The Nostalgic Ice Cream On The Cake: Bright Eyed And Tiger Tailed
June 05 , 2016 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Cupcakes, Icing
It’s actually shocking and amazing to me that I’ve even made these cupcakes this week if I’m being perfectly honest with you. Let me start by saying that the Neapolitan cake from last week had me deciding that I wanted to make cakes/ cupcakes based on classic and nostalgic flavours (so I’m sorry to disappoint […]

Welcome! Welcome! We have arrived at yet another random themed month! The entire reason this month exists was because I wanted to make a 3 layer cake with all different flavours. Well… I suppose this month would still exist – I mean, it’s unlikely the universe would’ve just completely skipped the month of June (which is […]

I Can’t Cake It Anymore!!
February 28 , 2016 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Cupcakes, Icing
….but mini cupcakes are apparently ok 😉 . I don’t really know what my deal is with cupcakes/ cake. It’s definitely not really my favourite dessert. However, I understand it’s portability and variability so I can see why other people consider it the dessert of champions (although I’m sure that actual champions don’t regularly partake in dessert. Or […]

I Maple a Rabbit Out of My Hat with This One
February 21 , 2016 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Cupcakes, Icing
….because these babies are magic! So I guess I’m in some kind of weird nostalgic for Christmas (or at least Christmas treats!) mode. The faux peanut butter balls last week are probably what got me thinking about the other Christmas delectables that I make. This brought me to thinking about my maple cream cookies…and how […]

Nudist Cake, aka Cake in the Raw
October 11 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Icing
A challenge presented itself to me this week. Well…the challenge didn’t just walk up to me in the street or anything. Although here’s a delicious rendition of my possible responses to such a proposal: (that denied face it awesome). It was a request that did at first blush sound challenging indeed though. Create a gluten-free, refined sugar-free birthday cake. […]
