You may remember that when I left my old job at the beginning of last summer, my former co-workers sent me off with a two week farewell treat tour. They took turns either baking something or buying treats to bring in, as a thank you for all the goodies I brought to them over the […]

June 15, 2012 Pies, Tarts & Pudding On my very last day of work I actually brought in Joy’s Chocolate Bundt Cake, so this was the penultimate treat. The entire farewell treat tour was essentially like Byn’s greatest hits of chocolate combinations: chocolate + peanut butter, chocolate + butterscotch, chocolate + cookie dough, and finally, chocolate […]

June 26, 2012 Brownies & Blondies   Has it really been like two years since Danielle’s last guest blog post?  That’s just crazy. She made something this week that is very different from her usual kitchen adventures, so of course, I peer pressured her to write about it! Here she is: This is not something […]

On my very last day of work I actually brought in Joy’s Chocolate Bundt Cake, so this was the penultimate treat. The entire farewell treat tour was essentially like Byn’s greatest hits of chocolate combinations: chocolate + peanut butter, chocolate + butterscotch, chocolate + cookie dough, and finally, chocolate + marshmallow. There’s another S’mores Pie in […]

June 9, 2012 Muffins & Scones I made these scones a few months ago, and they kind of got lost in the shuffle. I thought I would post them today, before it turns into summer fruit central around here. I’m that odd person that doesn’t drink coffee on a regular basis, but loves coffee flavoured things. […]

June 7, 2012 Top Chef Canada Season Finale!! Whoop whoop. Can’t lie, I’ll be happy to get my Monday nights back to watch The Bachelorette work on my life goals. We begin with a brief recap of your Top 3: Carl, Jonathan and Trevor. Let’s go Jonathan! Read the full article →

March 23, 2018 Pies, Tarts & Pudding Every Oscars feast must end with a delicious dessert, and for the past couple years I’ve been in the habit of making a pie. Last year was this epic Salty Honey Pie that I’d been dying to try, and this year I decided on a Crème Brûlée Pie I’ve […]

June 18, 2012 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing I had so much fun posting with a theme last week (my farewell treats to my now former co-workers), that I decided we’re going to do it again. Yes, that’s right, it’s RHUBARB week on Planet Byn. It’s well documented in the archives that I just love this […]

June 13, 2012 Pies, Tarts & Pudding The farewell treat tour was going along swimmingly until we hit Day 3. This certain co-worker who tries my patience came over to get a slice of this tart that morning. I had cut the slices VERY small (16 slices from a 9″ tart) and the following exchange […]

June 22, 2012 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing You may recall I was full of rage perturbed on Mother’s Day when I couldn’t find rhubarb in time to make this dessert. So obvs I made it for Father’s Day instead! Let’s make this very clear: this is one for the rhubarb lovers of the world. The […]

May 29, 2018 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing I’m so obsessed with Harry & Meghan I don’t even know where to begin. When the news first broke that they were together, I was like, what? That girl from Suits? But with encouragement from my friend Krishna, I opened my heart to this royal romance and was so […]

June 20, 2012 Cocktails RHUBARB week rolls on over here with a foxy little drink I’ve been making for a few summers now. Fellow rhubarb lover Gwendolyn posted this recipe a couple of years ago, and it has the best story behind it (her grandmother’s nickname was Foxy Lady!). I can’t believe I haven’t posted this until […]

June 14, 2012 Brownies & Blondies I am obsessed with cookie dough; it’s my most favourite treat. I thought my co-workers should experience the joy of guilt-free eggless chocolate chip cookie dough, so I made this during my last week to share with them. Pretty simple, just a brownie layer on the bottom topped with […]

June 12, 2012 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing Forgot to mention yesterday that I chose all the treats you’re going to see this week. Instead of taking requests, I decided to make things I’ve had bookmarked forever and knock a few recipes off my never-ending ‘to bake’ list. Read the full article →
