They say everything’s bigger in Texas, but just because you may in theory want to stuff your face full of a massive, Texas-sized piece of chocolaty decadence, doesn’t mean you always should. Besides, I’m all about the portability of desserts wherever possible (which mostly relates back to the fact that if I make a cake the […]

“Herb”-ivore Month – Oregano Ain’t Got Muffin on Me
August 23 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Bread, Cake
We made it! Although a pretty big part of me is sad as well. I’m happy to move on from herbs (no offence intended to any Herbs out there. I’m sure you’re great). I do feel like I learned a fair bit doing it though, so definitely not a loss, but the end of herb […]

I Do Not Like You Pan I Am: You’ve “Stollen” Many Minutes From My Life
July 26 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Bread, Cake
Final Pan Am post! Aren’t you excited? I know I sure am! (well…I’m actually most excited about getting back all my lost “can’t drive in the 3+HOV lane” time). Don’t be sad about this being the final post though, I don’t want to cause a Pan-demic! (yes, I literally only included that sentence for the horrible […]

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Madeleines World
June 21 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Cookies
I was running out of inspiration for this week I must admit. Well, that’s not totally true, I sadly have a notebook that’s half filled with ideas and things I want to do/ make at some point. But, you know, it’s kind of the baking equivalent of looking into your overflowing closet and declaring you […]

The Devil Wears Praline
June 07 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Icing, Pudding/ Mousse
…and that’s why we’re all going to hell. Vile tempter. We all have Kevin to blame for this one (both the actual dessert, and I’m completely giving credit where it’s due for this deliciously punny headline as well – thanks Kevin!). We celebrated Kevin’s birthday last week, and as is my wont, I asked him […]

St. Patrick’s Day is Not to be Trifled With {Challenge Accepted}
March 15 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Pudding/ Mousse
But I’m a drunken rebel and so I did all kinds of verboten things with this recipe 🙂 A couple of months ago my friend Rebecca gave me the challenge of making vegan trifle. I said “sure, but those bowls are so big, and it’s not really the kind of thing that’s that portable, so […]

We Jammin’, We Peanut Butter Jammin’
February 01 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Candy
I know what you’re thinking, “Amber, you just did peanut butter last week, are you already so out of ideas that you can’t do something new?” Now on the one hand you would be right, but on the other hand, I love, love, love (did I mention LOVE???) peanut butter, so you’re just going to […]

Nobody’s Pudding Baby(cakes) in the Corner
January 05 , 2015 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Cookies, Cupcakes, Icing
Although our freezer isn’t yet completely devoid of Christmas cookies, I couldn’t wait any longer to make something. I’ve had so many ideas rattling around in my brain that if I didn’t do something soon, some of them would probably have been lost to time completely and never been made 🙁 They never would’ve felt the […]

Waffling Over Birthday Ideas
June 02 , 2014 by Amber Trudeau - in Brownies, Cake, Cookies
I obviously always love the opportunity to create something new and unique in the dessert department, so Kevin’s birthday coming up was an excellent opportunity to flex my creative muscle. I figured I should offer him the opportunity to challenge me to make him something crazy (or just tell me what kind of flavours he’d […]
