Pumpkin Loaf With Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing is Perfect for Fall
For October I decided to try something new and offer a seasonal loaf that will only be available for the month. To my surprise, it was an overwhelming success! I am still blown away by the support that I receive with my baking! When I was trying to come up with this recipe I made this loaf probably about six or seven times and I always felt that it was missing something. I wasn’t sure if I should add pumpkin seeds to it or pecans but nothing was seeming to be the right fit for it. Once I added the icing to it though I felt that it was perfect!…

Nothing Say I Love You Like Red Velvet Cake
This is the recipe I get asked for the most, and it has probably been the one that has evolved the most. Every time I make it I think I can make it a little better the next time. This is the 2021 version and may be different the next time it gets posted. People tend to be scared of making red velvet cause they think it will be difficult, which couldn’t be farther from the truth. I find red velvet easier to make than vanilla cake. Red Velvet is my all-time favourite cake. I will always pick it over chocolate or vanilla any day. There is just something about…

The Only Carrot Cake Recipe You’ll Need This Fall
I can’t believe it is already officially Fall. I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks how is it already the end of September? There are only 13 more weeks until Christmas and 14 more weeks until 2021. With the weather turning colder and the leaves turning all the amazing autumn colours it is time to get into the Fall baking. This is the time of year when I tend to bake things that are more savoury. Where I make pumpkin pies, apple crisps, and of course carrot cake. Kevin’s birthday is the end of September, the 25th to be exact, and I always try to make him something…

Hummingbird Cake
For some reason lately, I have been obsessed with Hummingbird Cake. I’m not sure if it is the banana and pineapple combination or what the deal is but I seem to want to make this for every occasion. Last weekend we went up and saw my parents, to check in on them and make sure they were doing well. With Mother’s Day being the following weekend and it being their 51st Wedding Anniversary we thought we should bring something up to celebrate with them. Of course, I made a Hummingbird Cake to take up! The original recipe is from Gonna Want Seconds blog, I made just a couple of minor…

Spice Loaf
For some reason, some of my go-to recipes will be loaves or cookies. There is something about them that brings me comfort, and with what is going on in the world right now we need all the comfort that we can get. This loaf has just the right amount of spice to it, and topped with cream cheese icing it is everything that you will need right now. I came across this recipe by Nicole, at Dough-Eyed, and knew I needed to try this! I hope that you are staying safe and you are staying home. Ingredients 1 3/4 cup flour 2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg 1/2 tsp. ground ginger 1/4 tsp. ground allspice 1/4 tsp. ground clove 1 tsp. baking…

Hummingbird Bread With Cream Cheese Icing
I don’t make hummingbird loaves or cakes very often, but every time I do I enjoy it! For some reason, I always think it can only be made for special occasions. Well, the special occasion is that the cold snap is over! Calgary had some pretty brutal temperatures (-35C), thankfully that has come to an end so I thought we should celebrate with a Hummingbird Loaf! The best part about this loaf, besides being incredibly moist, is the cream cheese icing with a touch of cinnamon on top! This makes it even more special. I hope everyone enjoys this recipe, and if you live in Calgary I hope you are…
