I love this simple vanilla almond cupcake. Its a great moist cupcake that you can add different icing flavours to make it unique. I decided to make the icing with some jam I recently made to make it a jam cream cheese frosting. Prep the ingredients. Remember to take out the eggs, butter and shift…

Snickerdoodles
Snickerdoodles are fun cookies to make and to eat. They are a type of drop cookie that is rolled in cinnamon and sugar. I tried this for the first time and now its one of my favourites. First mix the sugar and butter. When the butter and sugar mixture has turned a nice golden colour,…
Mixed Berry Apple Jam!! Its jammed full of goodness.
Making jam is something I became addicted to. I love how each jam recipe turns out different and how many different ways I can use jam. I’ve used homemade jams on toast, baking and as gifts but there are so many other ways to use it as well. The nice thing with homemade jam is…

A couple of years ago, when my aunt discovered she was celiac, her life changed. She had to restrict many things out of her diet such as cakes,…

What to do I do with leftover buttermilk??? Make Buttermilk Scones!!!
What do you do with leftover buttermilk??? Sometimes you’re left with too much buttermilk when you bake. If you don’t have a use for it you can always freeze it and use it later. I got into the habit of making things for breakfast. I’ve made buns for breakfast (bear buns from a previous post)…

Red velvet cake has become a very popular cake. Red velvet is a basic buttermilk cake with red food colouring. No one knows the exact origins of the cake and some believe cocoa in the cake turns a reddish colour when mixed with vinegar. I have not proven this to be true but I believe…
