Pumpkin Pie- How to Make
October 12, 2013 by
Pumpkin Pie is my all time favourite pie. If I have ever said I liked a pie better than pumpkin pie, I was lying. My apple pie that I made is great for a fruit pie lover, but this is amazing. What I love about this pie is that 1. it only has a bottom crust (I’m not a crust fan and I’ve even less of one having worked with pastry over the last couple weeks), and 2. the filling melts in your mouth. I LOVE that. Whip yourself up some fresh whipping cream and you’re set for a delicious fall holiday treat.
Apple Pie Recipe: How to Make Apple Pie
October 1, 2013 by
Making apple pie has never been on my baking bucket list, but it is definitely something that I knew I should try once! Which I guess means it should be on a bucket list. My mistake. Ok, so now that the apple pie has moved from “maybe make” to “must make”, I decided that I should give it a try.
The most important things to keep in mind when making apple pie is 1. the crust, and 2. the apples. You need a good crust recipe and you need A LOT of apples. More than you think you will. And then more than that. We went to my mother in law’s to pick apples, and I brought along a little basket to collect them in. She laughed at me and brought me out a HUGE planting pot! Like a pot for an indoor tree!! I laughed at her, and thought that she was the one “out to lunch”. Needless to say, I should have listened to her and her 60+ years of baking apple pie experience. That and the fact that she’s Italian. She knows what’s she’s doing in the kitchen.

In this video we demonstrate how to make a bunny rabbit face from fondant or gum paste to use as cupcake toppers. This is great for decorating cupcakes over the Easter holidays!
I’ve been going back through my videos on my YouTube channel, and somehow I missed putting this one up on the blog! What the hay? How did that happen? Oh, right. I got busy, overwhelmed and crawled into a hole. BUT NOW I’M OUT and madly posting massive amounts of Easter videos for your enjoyment next weekend! I’ll try to get up the accompanying Fondant Carrot Cupcake Topper video post, but if I get hit by a bus, it’s on “The YouTube”.

Cranbrook Farmer’s Market with the The Good Ol’ Goats!
March 14, 2013 by
Way back in October 2012, the Cranbrook Farmers Market hosted our annual Thanksgiving Market. What made this year so special was that local teens from the band The Good Ol’ Goats played for us at the bandstand!
They are currently in CBC Radio’s Spotlight search competition! They have made it through to the top 24 in Canada, but we here in Cranbrook are pulling for them to make it right to the end!! Paul and I really LOVE them, and have their CD in both of our vehicles.
Good luck guys (and gal)!! Cranbrook is routing for you!
Champagne Cupcakes for New Years Eve
December 27, 2012 by
What is the best sound of the holidays? The pop of the champagne cork of course! Champagne has always been a traditional addition to New Years Eve celebrations in my family home growing up, and of course continues to be one now!
I am definitely not a champagne connoisseur, as you may be able to tell with my use of Yellow Tail Sparkling Wine in the video . . . why would I waste good champagne on something that is baked?!?! For cooking/baking purposes this brand is great . . . relatively cheap (not as cheap as Baby Duck!), has a definite champagne taste that stays throughout the baking process, and it doesn’t taste too bad when you drink the rest of the bottle when you’re done baking these cupcakes . . . using the bottle or a flute to finish it off works either way 🙂
