Happy 2018, friends! This is the year that I turn 32 (!!!) but also, the year that my book finally arrives on store shelves and into the hands of fellow bakers! YAY! Coincidentally, both of those two things are happening on the same day this year, which means PARTY TIME!!! Just kidding, it actually means media interviews, early mornings and a book tour – a busy but fun time! More on all of that soon… I’ve had so many questions about what it’s really like to write a cookbook, how to...

Bakery Life / 14.08.2017

Happy Monday, friends! Over the past two years or so, I've received so many emails from you guys, asking questions about how I opened my bakery, what the process was like, etc. Back in the beginning of 2016, I wrote a post on what I learned after opening a bakery (read it here) but I didn't really go into enough detail for some of you regarding what you need to know before and during the process of opening a bakery, which left you asking so many more questions. So I...

Bakery Life / 04.06.2017

Ok that title is perhaps a little dramatic - LOL. Today's post is all about what I consider essential to my kitchen and pantry and of course, living without these things is completely and utterly possible (obviously). However, these are items that I use on a weekly, if not daily, basis and doing my job without them would seem strange to me at this point and maybe even a little difficult. It's also worth saying that these are things I've collected over time - 6 years, in fact -...

Bakery Life / 20.05.2017

Hello, hello! I hope that you're enjoying your weekend, wherever you are! Today I want to talk about pop-up shops - more specifically, bakery pop-up shops. I've had a lot of questions come my way regarding how I plan, what sweets I sell, how to draw customers and so on, so I'm dedicating a blog post to the topic in hopes of helping you to navigate this process. Below are 8 things that I check off of my list, one by one, each and every time I've popped...

Bakery Life, Travel / 13.06.2016

Hello from home sweet home in Vancouver! If you've been following along on social media, you'll know that I just spent the past week in one of my favourite cities: London! I was there for a two private sugar cookie decorating classes, but when I wasn't working, I was eating copious amounts of sugar - all in the name of research. At least that's what I'm telling myself, so let's just go with it ;) It definitely wasn't a relaxing trip - I quite literally was running all over...

Bakery Life / 23.03.2016

Hello from inside a flurry of confetti, sprinkles and cake crumbs! A lot has been going on over here lately and I sometimes find it really difficult to make time to sit down and write. A few things have happened since my last post. I turned 30, which feels no different than being 29, to be honest, except that occasionally when I tell people that I'm 30, they either feel the need to tell me that I don't look 30 or ask me if I've started thinking about botox...

Bakery Life / 23.01.2016

Hello, 2016! There's almost nothing in the world that I love more than a fresh start, except cake and cookies and all things dessert. Bubble baths are pretty high up on that list, too. And puppies - oh, how I love puppies! I can't believe that it's been over a month since my last post (!!!), but I have a handful of other things on the go right now that consume a lot of my time - more on what's going on to come in a later post!...
