Gelato Cheesecake
Today I am going to share with you one of my favorite places in Calgary! And that place is Fiasco Gelato! If you live in Canada, you may have heard of them since they sell their gelato in many grocery stores. I love Fiasco Gelato. They have the best employees working there and such a cute shop. I go to Fiasco Gelato almost every week and their gelato is some of the best I’ve ever had! They have new flavors that they’ve created right there in the shop every time we go. A few weeks ago I picked up their Blueberry Basil Sorbetto and I was blown away! Whoever says…

Lingonberry Elderflower Sponge Cake
A few weeks ago I was at Ikea! I bought plants, candles, and of course food! It was close to Valentine’s Day and I was inspired to use my heart shaped cake pan that I bought last time I was at Ikea. I decided to make a sponge cake with elderflower concentrate and lingonberry jam. The results were amazing! I absolutely love lingonberries and really must get the jam more often! The elderflower concentrate was also delicious. If you do not have the jam or concentrate on hand, you can substitute with apple juice and any kind of jam you like! I would even say increase the amount of juice…

Eat Straight Out of the Pan Vegan Blueberry Coffee Cake
This blueberry coffee cake is moist and full of cinnamon flavor which is perfectly accompanied by juicy blueberries! It has a crumbly and buttery topping. This is the best coffee cake I’ve ever made! I adapted this coffee cake from Cara Reed’s book Decadent Gluten-Free Vegan Baking. You can check out her blog here. There were so many delicious things in this cookbook I couldn’t decide what to make first but this was definitely a good choice! Usually coffee cake isn’t the healthiest thing out there and something you probably don’t want to have for breakfast everyday. But this coffee cake is different! It’s made healthier with the addition of…

Mapple Upside-Down Cake
What do you get when you put maple and apple together… Mapple Cake! This cake recipe is adapted from one of my favorite bloggers! Her name is Joy and she runs Joy the Baker. I recently got her cookbook Homemade Decadence and decided that this apple cake recipe would be the perfect Christmas Eve Dinner dessert! I made a few changes to heathify the recipe but you could probably do even more if you wanted to make it more healthy or less if you don’t! The cake, by the way, was to die for! It is dense yet fluffy and has the best apple taste throughout. Mapple Upside-Down Cake Ingredients…

Gooey Dark Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Hey all! Hope you are doing well. Today I am going to leave out all of the extraneous information and let this cake speak for itself. This chocolate cake is ultra rich and decadently dense. It’s almost like a brownie but better! The whipped cream cheese frosting is the perfect sweet and light accompaniment. Feel free to veganize this recipe by using applesauce instead of yogurt and any frosting of your choosing. Gooey Chocolate Cake 8-10 slices Adapted from here Ingredients 1 cup spelt flour 6 tbsp cocoa powder 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 3/4 cup coconut sugar 1/3 cup yogurt 2/3 cup water 1/4 cup melted coconut…

Easy Rainbow Unicorn Cheese Cake
I thought of several names for this cake: psychedelic cheese cake, magical cheese cake, multi-colored cheese cake … and I still don’t know if I chose the right one! There is something kinda cute and sweet about unicorns though so this is what I stuck with. I just recently celebrated my 25th birthday and for my b-day I made myself a cheese cake. I used to love cheese cake as a kid so I thought it would be a fitting and fun dessert. This is the first time ever that I’ve made cheese cake so I was a little nervous about what would happen. Thankfully I found a no fail…

Lavender Apricot Earl Grey Tea Cake
I don’t know about you but I simply adore lavender! For one I love the purple color but I also like the calming effects it has. I often sprinkle some lavender essential oils on my bed to help me sleep at night. I’ve been meaning to bake some treats with lavender and saw my chance when I found this lavender extract at Home Sense! The lavender extract smells lovely and it adds a wonderful aroma and taste to baked goods. I also find that -as with the essential oil- consuming lavender extract also gives a calming effect. If you don’t have lavender extract feel free to use vanilla or almond…

Pumpkin Blondie Cake with Coconut Vanilla Glaze
Happy late Halloween! Fall is so great because of all the pumpkin things. Pumpkin is great, even though this interesting vegetable is kinda strange when you think about it. Today I would like to remind you all to remember to breathe. This week I sat in a grade 1 classroom. When it seemed they were losing concentration teacher had the students do a bunch of jumping jacks and then take three deep breaths. All the students did and I swear you could feel the whole atmosphere in the room shift after that. Breathing deep breaths can be very calming when your emotions are getting out of control or when you need…

As things settle down, I promise to make it up to you with plenty of delicious recipes that I have been hiding! In case you missed it I did have a guest post last week on Moves and Munchies!

I have never been more excited. I used this recipe except halved it and used already ground flax seed. It…

Chocolate Cherry Cake for My Birthday
This year is a very special birthday for me because I turn 19 years of age on the 19th day of the month! I consider 9 and 19 my lucky numbers so I’m pretty excited. Sometimes I really can’t believe how old I am getting. Sometimes it scares me but I know that it is inevitable so I try to live with it. I would like to celebrate this past year of my life by reflecting on what I have accomplished: I started my first year of University. This was a great experience for me because of the amazing things I have learned and the confidence I have gained by completing my scholastic…
