olympic brownies!

these brownies don't actually have anything to do with the olympics, other than they're pretty much the only thing i've managed to bake since the winter olympics began. not your classic brownie, with white chocolate and butterscotch chips on top, but definitely the ultimate brownie base. in my opinion, brownies are meant to be dense and made from real chocolate not light and cakey with cocoa. the brownie recipe i've been using for a couple of years now has got to be the best, small ingredient list, simple to make and produces great results. i will post it on the recipe page later on, now it's back to the snowboarding and my brownies :)

go canada!

early valentine's cupcakes

here are the devil's food cake cupcakes with white chocolate buttercream frosting, so far they're getting great reviews. i made an attempt to use shimmer dust on them and have come to the realisation that shimmer dust is for fondant or royal icing applications...duh! so there is one cupcake for my valentine that has big clumps of shimmer on it ;) that is love xo
