As promised in my previous post, here’s the recipe for plum jam. It’s one of my favourite jams! My mom used to make plum jam every year when we were kids and all kinds of cookies, pies and other desserts with it all year round. Time: Prep: 90 min. Cook: 4-5 hours or until your jam […]

Cake Pops – Red Velvet & Cream Cheese
These cake pops were such a huge hit at our Gender Reveal Party. They were my favourite as well but after the Pregnant Belly Cake I already showed you in my previous post.

Pregnant Belly Cake – Gender Reveal Party
I’m baking something pretty special this time… a bun in the oven :). This is the reason I haven’t been so active on the blog lately. We decided to organize a Gender Reveal Party and since I’ve started regaining some of my energy back I figured this would be the perfect occasion for another cake […]

These cedar plank-grilled salmon fillets […]
Filled Walnut Cookies
