I based this Caramel Coffee Tart on the caramel macchiato coffee I used to get when I was younger. The drink is too sweet for me now but the flavours make for a fantastic tart! The tart features an easy shortbread crust, a layer of salted caramel, espresso pastry cream and whipped cream.

This Bananas Foster layer cake may be muted in colour but the flavour is outstanding! The cake has layers of banana cake filled with a rum-caramel banana filling, toasted pecans and spiced cream cheese frosting.

Another week in May, another birthday! My husband celebrates his birthday this week so I’ve made home a Banana’s Foster Layer Cake. The cake combines layers of banana cake filled with rum-caramel banana and pecan filling and frosted with a spiced rum cream cheese frosting. Boy is this one tasty cake! #cakelove #birthdaycake #bananalayercake #bananasfoster #creamcheesefrosting #bananacake #happybirthday (at Barrie, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPBTicaMnBi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Not the prettiest scone ever, but boy is it tasty! I took my regular scone recipe but instead of putting fruit in before rolling the dough into a log to cut, I spread some chocolate hazelnut spread. It came out like a cross between a scone and a babka and was absolutely delicious!

It’s my dad’s birthday this week! He’s a very hard person to shop for, but he loves lemon meringue pie. So I’ve made him this lemon meringue tart that I will drive down to Toronto for him today. I put lemon in every layer including lemon zest in the crust and lemon in the Italian meringue. Hope he enjoys it! #bakingwithlove #happybirthdaydad #lemonmeringuetart #bakinglove (at Barrie, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO5sYu7DVgZ/?igshid=14abegaymhwfd

Happy birthday to me! Yes... I made my own cake... but that’s my idea of fun 😆 It’s a lemon poppyseed cake with blackberry filling and lemon Swiss meringue buttercream. #birthdaycake #itsmybirthday #cakedecorating #bakinglove #bakingfromscratch #cakefeed #bakefeed (at Barrie, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/COnpj09MOnI/?igshid=fcguor5np7qa

Who else has heard of Anadama bread? I’m baking a batch of Boston baked beans and had to bake some of this bread to go with it! This loaf has some cornmeal and molasses in it to give it its distinctive flavour and texture. The story goes that a Boston area fisherman was tired of the molasses porridge so one day he threw in some flour and yeast and put put it in the oven to bake. While it baked, he sat muttering « Anna damn her!» (picture it being said in a Boston accent) and the name was born. Whether the story is true or not, this bread is delicious! #anadamabread #breadbaking #freshbakedbread #breadstagram (at Barrie, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/COGjk8jsukI/?igshid=q626d2g0ljn4

Working on a video about how to make Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies filled with Dulce de Leche. This recipe is by far the most popular recipe on my website! The cookies come out like brownies and are spiced with cinnamon and chipotle powder. I can’t wait to eat one for dessert tonight!

I’ve been working on perfecting this French Lemon-Lime Tart for a few weeks and finally got the recipe perfect! There is lemon or lime in every single layer of this tart! The crust is flavoured with lime zest, the filling is a French lemon cream filling and the top is a lime ganache cream. It is wonderfully tart but the tartness is balanced by the ganache cream on top. Such a pretty and refreshing tart!

I wanted to try making another stuffed cookie so I took my Next Level Chocolate Chip Cookie batter and stuffed some chocolate ganache in the middle. They are so good! The cookies are crispy on the out side and chewy in the middle with a centre of gooey chocolate ganache. Definitely a recipe to do again!

Happy Easter! To celebrate I made an Easter egg entremet. I wish I could say that they all looked this good but the mousse didn’t freeze as solidly as it should have even though it was in the freezer overnight so I had trouble moving the eggs onto the bases. Inside is a lemon mousse with a blueberry gelée centre. Even though they didn’t turn out exactly as I’d hope I think they will taste good. forward to trying them tonight! #easteregg #entremet #easterdessert #bakefeed #instabake #easter (at Barrie, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNP0irOsbNN/?igshid=1u20g0nmslf76

Hot cross bunny! 🐰 I saw this on the @foodnetworkca Spring Baking Championship and had to try it out. He’s so darned cute! I took my basic fluffy roll recipe and spiced it with orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cardamom. Then I added mixed dried fruits. Looking forward to trying it for breakfast tomorrow! #easterbunny #hotcrossbun #hotcrossbunny #springbakingchampionship (at Barrie, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM5m0wOsEXj/?igshid=1u34mx6t9ds9b
