Congratulations!

I just wanted to announce the winner of the giveaway Elycia held, It's Mel from Smiles from Mel!

As well, I'm sorry about the lack of posts. I haven't been baking much at home, which is unusual. Work has been mega busy, and filled with a lot of recipe testing-and eating. So I've been getting my sweets fix during work hours.

I just bought some delicious amber maple syrup from my local farmers market, so expect some yummy treats featuring that!

I hope everyone is having a great summer, it's going by so quickly! I can't even believe it.

Cherry cherry cherry.

I keep trying to make a perfect crumble bar, but I never succeed. Don't get me wrong, I do make some delicious bars. But none of them are perfect. Even this one; it's delicious, but not perfect.



It might be because I have no idea what I am looking for. As a kid, I never liked fruit as dessert. I ate fruit all the time, but dessert was chocolate or cake or cookies. So maybe I will just never find a perfect crumble bar because I will never think a crumble bar is perfect. Not compared to chocolate chip cookies or a slice of red velvet cake. Who knows.

Regardless, these were yummy and I'm going to bring them to a picnic today so hopefully other people agree!



I made these because I bought 8 dollars worth of cherries. That's a lot. And I didn't mean to. But it happened. And cherries hurt my stomach, but  they are delicious so I deal. But eating that many wouldn't be the best idea, so I cooked them down into a jam and made a crumble!

If any of you have a great crumble recipe, send it my way!

Alright, I am the worst at posting. And it's funny because I've made some delicious baked goods this week. I made baked donuts....twice. And they were delicous...twice. The second time I made them, I tried a gluten free flour mix and they turned out so good! I also made chocolate chip blondies, which were gluten-free as well. And then I made ice cream, vanilla with chocolate chips and peices of the blondies. Oh my god it was good. I don't normally do that much gluten-free baking at home. But I like to try new things and at work we are going to start making a lot of gluten-free products so I was testing some out.


But today isn't about what I made over the past week. It's about what you could possibly have me make for you. Over at Elycia's blog, she is having a giveaway to win some delicious goodies from me! You could win: 

6 double chocolate cookies
6  truffles (assorted)
4 filled cupcakes (assorted)
6 mini chocolate garbanzo bean cakes

So go over to her blog to see how you could win! (This contest is only open to Ontario residents, sorry!)

Oh and don't forget, you can still use the discount code from her review to get 15% off any treats! And I do ship all over Canada, so even if you don't live in Ontario you can still purchase some compassionate baked goods!

Well, I'm off to go test out a cherry crumble bar. But first, I have a question. Should I add chocolate?
