I am definitely a person who has a not-so-secret love affair with liquid smoke. I don’t know what it is about it, but it makes me swoon rapturously, and I am admittedly pretty heavy handed with it if I’m making soups, stews or chilis (particularly if I won’t be foisting it upon other people. This […]

Who’s The Boss(Ton)?
September 24 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Icing, Other Desserts, Pudding/ Mousse
More cake! I know, I should’ve made this a layer cake themed month, I just didn’t realize I’d have so many opportunities to make full on cakes and take them places! September for the win! (too many exclamation marks in a row? Yes. Since you’re already judging me – !!!!!!!!!!!! – just had to get […]

Life Is Like A Box Of (Triple) Chocolate…Cake
September 17 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Cupcakes, Icing
Death by chocolate, is there really any way to go that sounds sweeter? Maybe drowning in boiling melted chocolate would not be so great due to the whole burning your flesh thing (and also, you’d likely get chocolate up your nose and that just sounds both unpleasant and incredibly wasteful đ ). So my book […]

You’ve Galette Me Berry The Truth in Crumbles
August 06 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Icing, Other Desserts, Pie
A pun by any other name would….well probably be better than this one, so there’s that. This week, I’m going to bring you what I’m going to call the “real estate agent” version of dessert bait and switch (except in a good way I promise! đ ). Because I know what you’re thinking…”Amber, do you […]

150 Eh? Let’s See Some ID: Percolate On This On-TART-io
July 09 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Candy, Cookies, Icing, Other Desserts, Pie
Week two!! I know, youâre super excited, I can feel it from here. The air is practically palpable with your barely contained exuberance. Just breathe, we still have two more weeks after this one, so reserve at least some of your enthusiasm for future posts đ . I know I said last week that I […]

My Name Is Bon(bon), James Bon(bon)
June 25 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Candy, Icing
What is a person to do when they make a recipe and realize they ended up with way way too much leftover icing? My usual go-to method in this situation is to put it in my coffee for a week or so until it’s used up (makes for some surprisingly delicious and strange flavour combinations, […]

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 đ 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 […]

Obligatory Unicorn Trend Post *Le Sigh*
June 04 , 2017 by Amber Trudeau - in Cookies, Icing
This is a trend that I’m so irked about that it doesn’t even deserve a pun. THAT’S how bad it is!!! Â ….OK, who am I kidding, I love puns too much, so I’ll still give it a go. How about “Who Peed In Your (Uni)Corn Flakes?”? No? Not a fan? Well now you know how […]

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 […]
