SUGAR-FREE MERINGUES

SUGAR-FREE MERINGUES

These are a nice sugar free option for anyone who loves meringues. I used monk fruit sugar to make the meringue and it works. Xylitol also works well with this recipe. You do get that cool sugar alcohol taste, but it’s not too bad and 

VANILLA CAKE WITH ROSES

VANILLA CAKE WITH ROSES

I was suppose to make a wedding cake, but with a change of plans I ended up making a birthday cake. This cake is so beautiful, as most things with roses are and quite easy to make. Whether it’s for a wedding, birthday or just 

SPICED OATMEAL COOKIES

SPICED OATMEAL COOKIES

My favourite cookies are oatmeal cookies. I always make them with dates or raisins. This time I tried a few different things. I swapped out the butter for oat margarine which worked really well, it enhanced the oat flavour. I then added warming spices like 

CHOCOLATE ALMOND TORTE

CHOCOLATE ALMOND TORTE

You can’t go wrong with almonds and chocolate. What makes this cake different is a chocolate base with layers of almond flavour coming from almond flour, sliced almonds, almond extract, and almond oil instead of butter. This cake is soft with a crunchy top and 

VEGAN CHOCOLATE WALNUT CAKE

I made this for my friend’s birthday. This was my first attempt at a vegan cake. I’m not going lie… it was AMAZING. I couldn’t believe how good this cake turned out. It was soft and dense and super chocolaty. My secret ingredient was crushed

PEPPERMINT BARK

AMARETTO ICE CREAM

AMARETTO ICE CREAM

Amaretto is my favourite liquor. I’ve had amaretto ice cream before, I have even had amaretto gelato in Venice, which was the best. They would top it with an amaretti cookie which I liked. I’m not going back to Venice anytime soon, so I decided 

ALMOND RICOTTA COOKIES

ALMOND RICOTTA COOKIES

My Limoncello cookies are so good. They are something between a cake and cookies thanks to the yogurt in them. I wanted to try this cookie flavoured with almonds instead of lemon and they were perfect. I changed up a few of the ingredients. I
