I’m away visiting family this week, so this will just be a short post today. I always like to do fruit breads when trying to make something gluten-free. I find that they always give a nice, moist dough that sticks together well, and fruits like pumpkin or banana also tend to give a stronger flavour… Read More Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread
Along with the dairy- and gluten-free chocolate cake that I made a few weeks ago, I also made a red velvet cake. This cake didn’t come with the same allergy restrictions, since there was already an allergy-friendly option available at the party. I have never made a red velvet cake before, so this was a… Read More Red Velvet and Cream Cheese Frosting
This was a second baking project I worked on for the Easter weekend. I had an order for 12 mini vanilla cupakes, and 12 mini chocolate cupcakes. I needed half of the cupcakes to be gluten-free, and I also had a request to ice half of each set of cupcakes and leave the other half… Read More Chocolate and Vanilla Cupcakes with Fresh Raspberries
Two years ago, when I started Sprinkle & Dot, I made this Chocolate Drip Cake for Easter: It was my first attempt at a drip cake, and though it was pretty impressive to me at the time, you can see that a few things need work. First of all, I used plain chocolate for my… Read More Easter Drip cake
This week, I made a cake for a surprise 50th birthday party. This was an interesting baking project because it was more restricted than usual in terms of allergens and allowed foods than usual (I have baked for this person before, but this time they had one or two additional concerns to work around). I… Read More Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Chocolate Mirror Glazed Cake
Hi all, sorry for my absence last week, and late posting today. I had a bit of a food mix-up last week (who puts soy protein in tomato soup????) and I ended up very sick last weekend. I am all better now, but I got a bit behind in my posting. Now I know to… Read More Chocolate Cupcake Experiments
I mentioned in a post last year that I had made some valentine’s day cookies for the kitchen at a dance competition. This year, we were in charge of the kitchen again, so I thought I would whip out some more royal icing cookies – they were a hit last year! These first cookies were… Read More Valentine’s Day Cookies
You know what they say: let sleeping unicorns lie. I’ve seen some cute sleeping unicorn macarons online, and I wanted to give them a go. There are a few different styles, but I decided to go with a rainbow unicorn. These have a little face piped on one side of the macaron (I’ve seen them… Read More Sleeping Unicorn Macarons
Some old friends got married earlier this year, and unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it to their wedding. I wanted to send them something in my absence, and I decided on painted macarons. The groom is also allergic to nuts, so I assumed he hasn’t had as much opportunity to try them out. As… Read More Painted Macarons
Do you know the song that goes “you put the lime in the coconut”? That song was definitely going through my head as I baked these cupcakes. This is a recipe I’ve been meaning to try for a while (I think I saw this recipe when I first flipped through the cookbook, and it was… Read More Lime, Coconut, and Rum Cupcakes
