These fudgy mint chocolate baked donuts have a subtle hint of mint in the white chocolate icing and are so easy to create! Mint and chocolate were “mint” to be together in these fudgy mint chocolate baked donuts! Do you love mint chocolate (I know you do, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this right now!)? …

“Freedom from the Box” Wacky Cake
One of my favorite childhood memories is chocolate cake. That sounds silly, I know, but I think chocolate cake was quite important to us. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the homemade kind of chocolate cake; we really liked the box mix chocolate cakes. I’d make a lot of them, sometimes deviating from the norm and throwing in…
Raw Chocolate Cake
How do you like your chocolate cake? Do you like a soft and light crumb? Or do you like a denser texture? Do you like plain chocolate, or do you like to add some fresh fruit or other flavors? What about if you tried something completely and totally different with your chocolate cake?
Japanese-Themed Birthday Party
My daughter turned 8 last week. We’d been planning her party for at least 1 1/2 months and frankly, I was quite tired of thinking about it! I was definitely excited for it to get underway, but when it was over, I was tremendously relieved! Last year, she had an ice cream party and a…

I’ve had a real thing for banana breads and cakes lately. In fact, I just now took a loaf of banana bread out of the oven before I sat down to write this post about banana cake. Bananas have been abundant in our kitchen, leading to some quite ripe bananas here and there. I’m not…
Ginger, Cardamom & Pomegranate Syrup Cake
I have a new favorite cake. It comes from an unlikely source, for me – Donna Hay. If you’ve been following my blog or Twitter stream for long, you may remember that I have hit and miss issues with recipes from Donna Hay. The majority of her recipes I have made have ended up either…
Melting Ice Cream Cake
A little over 7 years ago, I was staring into my baby’s wide open eyes, wondering what on Earth she’d look like and what she’d be like once she grew up. Wondering what sort of things she’d be interested in and what sort of conversations we might have one day. It seems like only a…
Happy Birthday!
This past week saw me turn one more year older and I wanted to make something special to celebrate the occasion. I was pondering on what to make for a couple of weeks and inspiration finally came when I fully discovered my new favorite baking blog, Sweetapolita. If you haven’t been by Rosie’s blog yet,…
