Alright, so I’m gonna spill the beans on my latest kitchen adventure: baking a pie in an aluminium pie plate. You know, those cheap-o ones you can grab at any grocery store? First off, I grabbed a couple of these plates. They’re light, flimsy, and honestly, I never really trusted ’em. But hey, I was feeling thrifty. Preheated the oven to 375°F (about 190°C), standard...

So, someone asked me the other day about low gluten flour, and it kinda threw me back to this whole baking disaster I had a while ago. It’s funny how you learn things, usually the hard way, right? I decided I was going to bake a super delicate, fluffy cake for my niece’s birthday. You know, one of those ones that just melts in your...

Alright, so today I’m gonna walk you through something I whipped up in the kitchen recently – red velvet shortbread cookies. I’d seen a few pictures, and they looked pretty neat, so I thought, why not give it a shot? Sometimes you just gotta try these things yourself to see what all the fuss is about. So, here’s my little adventure with these red beauties....

Alright, so I decided I was going to get a bit fancy for a little get-together I was hosting. You know how it is, you see these pretty pictures online, and you think, “Yeah, I can do that!” My big idea this time? Individual desserts. And I stumbled upon these 3 oz dessert cups. Seemed like the perfect size, not too much, not too little....

Alright, so the other day, I found myself staring at a bunch of overripe bananas. You know the kind – more brown than yellow, practically begging to be turned into something delicious. My mind immediately went to banana bread, a classic comfort food. And who’s a go-to for classics? Betty Crocker, of course. So, I decided to give her recipe a whirl, the one I’ve...

Okay, here’s my take on sharing my experience with disposable piping bags, just like a casual, been-there-done-that blogger would. My Piping Bag Adventures (The Disposable Kind!) Alright, so let’s talk piping bags. I’ve been baking for, like, ever. And for the longest time, I was all about those reusable canvas ones. Seemed eco-friendly and all that, right? Well, lemme tell you, cleaning those things is...

Okay, so today I’m gonna share my little adventure with low gluten flour. It all started when I was trying to bake a cake for my friend’s birthday, and she’s kinda sensitive to gluten. You know, the usual bloating and all that jazz. So, I thought, “Hey, let’s try low gluten flour!” Sounded easy enough, right? First things first, I went to the store. I...

Alright, so today I’m walking you through how I tackled making a nut-free fruit cake. It’s a bit of a process, not gonna lie, but totally worth it, especially when you’ve got folks around who can’t do nuts, or honestly, if you just prefer your fruit cake to be all about the fruit. Getting Started – The Fruit Soak First things first, I always start...

Alright, so I gotta share this one. You know how it goes, you’re all set to make some classic Rice Krispie Treats, maybe the kids are bugging you, or you just got a craving. You pull out the marshmallows, the cereal… and then, disaster. No butter. Like, zero. Zip. Nada. Happened to me last week, and let me tell you, panic mode was ON. My...

So, I was in the kitchen the other day, you know, getting ready to do some baking. Had my flour out, my active dry yeast, all the usual suspects. And then a thought just popped into my head, like they sometimes do when you’re busy with something else. Does sugar itself actually have yeast in it? I mean, we feed yeast sugar, right? So, does...
