Hello friends! I’m almost done writing paper #1 (it was a short one) but then I gotta write #2 by Monday then I’m done! And then I’ll be making ALL the macarons in preparation for macaron week =) I’m excited! Are you excited?
Lemon Crisps and Moving from Google Reader to Bloglovin’
18 March, 2013 Leave a Comment
Oh boy I am just on a posting spree this month! However, it’s been a few weeks since I did the Craft (that’s the catering lingo in showbiz) for a friend’s production and I made these cookies. I thought I’d share it now while I let you know about something really important that’s going to change about how you read your favourite blogs.
Blueberry Lemon Bundt Cake

My two-year blog birthday is coming up soon and while “renovating” my blog, I’ve really had a chance to look back on my old posts and see how far I’ve come in terms of photography. I’m not sure if any of you remember, but pretty much all of my photography back then was awful. [Read more...]
Lemon Poppyseed Cake Pops
9 February, 2013 2 Comments
I hit 200 likes yesterday on Facebook! It was so exciting for me! I told you folks on Facebook that I’d make cupcakes, but then I decided I wanted to make mini-heart cakes with lemon as a flavour. And then I thought about one of the commenters on my Vegan Lemon Donuts, who mentioned adding poppy seeds to the lemon donuts and I had a eureka moment. But unfortunately despite my epiphany, these cakes turned out to be a terribly epic failure.
Vegan Lemon Donuts and Vegan Bake-off Recap

WHAT A DAY! The Vegan Bakeoff is over! First I want to let out a big thank you to my roommate for dealing with my lemon donut trials for a week, my friends who came to support me (Janelle, Orlean, Phillip, and new friend Jason), Chris for understanding when I didn’t text him back all day because I was stuffing my face with vegan deliciousness, my online Blog friends for helping me with plating ideas, and YOU! For first of all, reading my blog to unconsciously encourage me to even enter in the first place (oh and my roommate for suggesting it), and second of all, for giving me such great support on my FB page =) (if you haven’t liked it yet, please go do so in the sidebar!)
Strawberry Lemon Trifle

I’ve been seeing all these trifle posts everywhere and it makes me really want a trifle bowl. I actually splurged on a cake stand earlier this week, and while I wait for it to come in the mail, I’ll occasionally search Amazon and browse random department stores until I can find myself the perfect trifle bowl. Plus I never have enough people to come eat all these baked goods (my roommate says he doesn’t want to get fat), so I had to make me some individual trifles to nom.
Lemon Lime Ice Cream

I’M ALL MOVED IN! I had the fastest and easiest move in my entire life thanks to all of my awesome friends. It barely took two hours! It was awesome. And I finally have room in the freezer for my ice cream maker freezing thing. I made some of this delicious ice cream because Ottawa has been experiencing super bizarre weather, two weeks ago I was wearing short shorts and a tank top, and today I’m wearing my boots, scarf and bomber jacket. Hopefully this ice cream will inspire the weather to be nicer, perhaps less temperamental, because it’s such a refreshing, complex flavour that is the perfect ending to a filling dinner; it’s so light!
Creamy Avocado Cappellini
16 April, 2012 1 Comment
This is one of those dishes that can be whipped up in about 15 minutes. It’s creamy, rich, and subtle at the same time. I love how avocado can almost replace butter in terms of texture, and it’s so much healthier >_< I’ve mentioned before how I don’t really like tomato pasta sauce. Maybe it’s too tangy for my liking, but I prefer cream sauces. But the problem with cream sauces is that they are chock full of fats. Not that I’m usually concerned about diet, but in the past year, I’m going to guess that my cholesterol levels are not at their prime.
Lemon Poppyseed Macarons

First day of Macaron Week! So many new and exciting things happening today =) I officially have my own domain name (sorry if some of you are subscribed to my Blogger still, just delete that one and add this one!). I switched over to WordPress because I wanted my own domain and I liked the other WP blogs I’ve seen. I want to add a life-related blog to this, and Blogger doesn’t really let you do that; you can only have different “pages” but not different blogs on the same blog. Whatever. Anyway. YAY! IT’S MACARON WEEK! I’ve made 6/7 macarons so far, and the seventh one is SUPPOSED to be lavender, but I can’t find lavender anywhere that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Therefore I went with black sesame seed because the other ones I’ve seen are super pretty so I wanted to make some!
Lemon Cake

Whee another cake! This one wasn’t as tasty as the red velvet was, it was a really really dense cake and I omitted the lemon sugar syrup, which I regret because I think the cake could have used the extra kick. If you’re going to make this cake, I recommend using a lemon syrup. I also preferred the cream cheese icing from the red velvet too, zOMG that was delicious. However, this buttercream recipe is still pretty delicious. Overall, a great success! I had so much fun piping all the different designs =)
