….Based on this photo, I apparently can’t đ I thought about not posting this one at all because they didn’t turn out quite the way I had envisioned them, but in the interest of full disclosure, I’ve decided I should post the not-as-successful attempts as well. About a week ago, I received my first submitted-through-the-website challenge […]

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 đ They never would’ve felt the […]

How the Grinch Stole Cookies (aka Christmas Cookies 2014)
November 20 , 2014 by Amber Trudeau - in Candy, Cookies
I bring you both the legend, and a photo of the cookies in their “real-life” ready-to-be-transported form. I figured I would add multiple visuals of this eye “candy” for your drooling pleasure đ (yes! a terrible pun that works on both levels!) Here’s the sneak preview of the Christmas cookie offerings for 2014 – I can’t […]

Let’s Get Figgy With It!
November 02 , 2014 by Amber Trudeau - in Cookies
Kevin randomly said to me the other day that one of his favourite cookies growing up was the fig newton. First of all, I called bulls*** on that assertion straight to his face because I know him well enough to know, that if it doesn’t have chocolate or peanut butter (or even better, some combination […]

Thumbprints Left at the Scene of the Crime
September 30 , 2014 by Amber Trudeau - in Cookies
Sometimes I have way too many things that I want to make all at once and I find it difficult to determine which thing to bake. Do I want to go healthy(ish), or go for all out decadence? Will I have anywhere to bring said baked good afterwards and if so, what will this audience […]

Teddy Beach Bum

CAUTION: The following post contains “bear” nudity. I recommend skipping this one if you’re easily offended. Now that those prudes have left the page, for the rest of you, on with the post! This month for bookclub was our annual “beach read” book, so we were reading Summer Girls by Mary Alice Monroe. Loving a theme […]

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 […]

Burger She Wrote…
May 04 , 2014 by Amber Trudeau - in Cookies, Cupcakes
Mmmm…burgers? What are these doing in a vegan dessert blog? It’s because they’re actually dessert! Burger patties are made of dates,figs, raisins and coconut and then I cooked them on the stove to give them that burger-y look…Buns made of vanilla-almond cupcakes. There’s a “cheese sauce” base made of tofutti cream cheese+icing sugar and orange […]

Can I Get a Crème Egg? But Hold the Crème and the Egg
March 30 , 2014 by Amber Trudeau - in Candy
I don’t know about anyone else, but I used to love those Cadbury Crème Eggs at Easter. Sure, we all know they’re not exactly the healthiest thing you could possibly eat, but if I’ve learned nothing else about Easter, it’s that it’s a holiday with it’s own 4 food groups: Sugar, Chocolate, Creaminess (textures can be […]
