I can’t even tell you how long ago I even made these cupcakes (I believe it was possibly as long ago as 2019 since I obviously haven’t posted here in a million, billion years), but they were memorable . Deliciously, deliciously memorable. So much so, that I clearly had no time to actually write about […]

I’m Gonna Lay(er Cake) Me Down on a Bed of Peanut Butter
February 17 , 2020 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Candy, Icing
Because roses are so cliché 😉 Out of control? What out of control? Having eighty thousand components to a dessert is what you always do too right? Of course you do. I actually felt a little guilty about this one. Kevin was super thankful for it and kept saying how guilty he felt that I’d gone […]

White (Walker) Forest Cake
June 30 , 2019 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Cupcakes, Icing, Pudding/ Mousse
So, obviously a little late to the party here, but the end of Game of Thrones! How’re you’ll feeling about that? Sad to the extreme?: Tired of hearing everyone always talking about it, so secretly thrilled to pieces that people might finally stop shaming you for not watching it, but don’t want anyone to actually […]

Can’t Eat My, Can’t Eat My Poke(r Face) Cupcakes
June 09 , 2019 by Amber Trudeau - in Bars, Brownies, Cake, Candy, Cookies, Cupcakes, Icing, Other Desserts, Pudding/ Mousse
What is a poke cake you ask? No, what you are thinking is 100% untrue, it is not in fact a cake created by children who simply stick their fingers into it. What kind of backroom chop shop do you think I’m running over here? Not that that would stop me from eating it of […]

Honey I Shrunk the Peanut Butter Balls
May 26 , 2019 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Cupcakes, Icing
I’m back with a vengeance!! Did y’all miss me? Basically, I’ve heard that absence makes the heart grow fonder so….presumably your hearts are all now filled with so much fondness you don’t even know what to do with yourself. Luckily, you may now lay down that oversized suitcase full of fondness that you’ve been carting […]

Season(ings) Greetings? How To Wine Friends And Influence Pepper
September 02 , 2018 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Candy, Cookies, Icing, Other Desserts, Pudding/ Mousse
This would actually be a useful skill if by “Pepper” we were referencing Iron Man’s Pepper Potts. Having a bit of pull over a super hero seems like a useful tool to have in your back pocket 😉 . With these treats, I opted to go even more “super” crazy and make them gluten free […]

PB or Not PB? That Is The Question
June 24 , 2018 by Amber Trudeau - in Bread, Cake, Cupcakes, Icing, Other Desserts, Pudding/ Mousse
Peanut butter and banana. I know it’s only been 5 seconds since I did a post about that particular flavour combination, but I liked it so much, I felt it needed to be incorporated into something else. Also, Kevin really liked the banana filling from my knock-off nutter butters from the other week and told […]

Sundaes For Sundays? How Berry Fitting
June 10 , 2018 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Candy, Cupcakes, Icing, Pudding/ Mousse
Summer!!!!!!!!!!! That is possibly my favourite word. Conjuring up images of warmth and holidays…and ice cream! You know the big problem with ice cream though? It just gets a little too melty a little too fast. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “sticky fingers” (although now maybe you could “legitimately” “accidentally” rob people […]

Here’s A Sneak Peek(an) Through Rose(mary) Coloured Glasses
June 03 , 2018 by Amber Trudeau - in Cake, Cupcakes, Icing
Personally, I’m a big fan of incorporating savoury herbs into dessert (strawberry-basil, lemon-thyme, apple and sage, so many possibilities! I even had a whole themed month about it, so if you’re interested, check out one (or all!) of these posts – rosemary, basil, dill (surprisingly my favourite tasting of the 4) or oregano). In trying […]
