It saddens me a lot but I am swamped with Christmas orders and it's the middle of November so the decision had to be made.<br />
That being said, I didn't want to deprive anyone from enjoying my goodies this Christmas so I made up a very simple Christmas menu that requires no minimum order. I will be doing deliveries once a weekend up until December 21st. (ordering details below)<br />
<br />
Here she is!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I’m not going to mention the fact that its been over 5 months since the last time I blogged. I’ve decided that instead of talking
about the fact that I should blog more and how sorry I am for leaving none of
you hanging (let’s face it) and just accept the fact that I am a monthly (at
best) blogger. I think I’m ok with this. And it means that if I blog more than
that then I am exceeding everyone’s expectations. Win win.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This past October my lovely sister Jenny got married to her
best friend Jon. They have a beautiful love and I thought it would make the
most sense to start my 2013 blog posts off with this beauty.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’d say it’s mainly because the cake I made for this wedding
far exceeds any other cake I’ve done so I really just want to show it off.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My sister told me to do whatever I wanted – the cake I’ve
always wanted to make. So I decided to challenge myself and hoped to really wow
people. My entire extended family was coming in from Manitoba and the reception
was at the amazingly beautiful <a href="http://www.alloydining.com/">Alloy</a> – so the pressure was on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Am I right?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well even if you don't agree with that bold statement as if you could refuse anything that is chocolate and caramel. There is no better pairing in this world than that of a rich chocolate and a velvety salty sweet caramel. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">End. Of. Post.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just kidding, there's more. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So whenever I send my menu out people usually stop looking when they see the Chocolate Cake soaked with Sea Salted Caramel and layered with Caramel Frosting.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o98BSarzrRA/UBBBRFHvLEI/AAAAAAAAAPo/4WB6-rBOdAc/s1600/542902_10151683284580386_1513543060_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o98BSarzrRA/UBBBRFHvLEI/AAAAAAAAAPo/4WB6-rBOdAc/s320/542902_10151683284580386_1513543060_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Drool</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't really blame them though, I would also stop looking. I'm such a sucker for this pairing and I thought why keep this all to myself?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I have to share my super amazing knowledge with the entire world (because I'm very sure that the entire world reads this blog... don't they?)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So without further adieu here is my super special chocolate cake recipe, all the way from my Grandmother's recipe box. I hope you make it! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

Once you make it you can either let it cool and then ice, or poke holes in the hot cake and pour warm caramel over the whole thing... and to be honest, why wouldn't you do that? </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's an intense couple months for everyone, not to mention the fact that everyone is on diets (or at least trying to be) so my making cakes for every occasion is not appreciated. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to make these birthday cake cookies to take to all these events rather than make something for each (whether they made it to all the events, I'll never tell). I saw the recipe on <a href="http://cookincowgirl.blogspot.ca/2011/10/funfetti-cake-batter-cookies.html">this blog</a> and thought they looked delicious. I'm a sucker for birthday cake flavours and I'm crazy for sprinkles.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's the revised recipe, for the original just click on the link above.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Makes over 2 dozen delicious cookies.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #41270e; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><u>Birthday Cake Cookies!</u></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There have been so many topics I’ve been wanting to blog
about but I haven’t been finding the time at all. When I’m stressed I bake not
blog and so let’s just say I’ve been having a heavy baking time and an
extremely light blogging time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and it’s definitely an interesting change. After a month of eye-twitching
stress (literally… I had a 4 week long eye-twitch) I made the decision to make
the switch and I feel very stress free now so I think it’s time to get back to
the blogging. I’ve got lots to share with you so let’s do it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another thing that I’ve started doing is scones, I absolutely
love scones but everywhere you go they are dry and give you dry mouth. Not
desirable. I’d like to pave the way for the moist scone, that leave your mouth
wanting more instead of wanting water. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also put my muffin top pan to good use and made chocolate
caramel whoopee pies. Enough said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some photos of my current inventory of Repurposed Vintage Cake Stands.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please don't judge my photography skills... I have absolutely no skill when it comes to lighting and I don't even know what else. Usually I get my <a href="http://www.ohdeerithinkiloveyou.blogspot.ca/">sister </a> to do stuff like that for me because she's pretty dope at it, but I couldn't burden her with this task so I decided to just do it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They aren't terrible (I don't think) but like I said don't judge me... just accept it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here we go! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Market Collective everyone!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another MC has come and gone and this weekend I was blown away, and here's why:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been trying to keep things fresh by continuously bringing in new ideas and recipes not knowing what will catch on and what will be dead in the water.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last MC I had introduced my Red Velvet Cupcake in a jar and some people didn't know what to think, I really wanted it to work because </span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">#1: I love jars, and </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">#2: I really loved the idea and the contrast of the deep red with the white of the cream cheese frosting.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I made them again this time and yikes! They went over so well, people came just for them and I had a couple tweets about them! (how exciting!)</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They will definitely have to be a staple from here on out!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another thing that really excites me are my cake stands. I had thought about making them for an extremely long time and one night I made one and I was pretty much hooked from then.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I completely loved every single stand I made (I have a bit of an obsession with cake plates as it is) and wasn't sure I wanted to sell them at all because of my undying love for them but I decided to let them go. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I didn't I would have ended up on an episode of hoarders one day...</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pictures of most of them will soon be up but here are a couple from the ones that I took to the market this past weekend.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took a little visit to see my <a href="http://www.integranaturopathics.com/">Naturopath</a> and after being sick with two different colds in the last 2 weeks he suggested I go on a bone broth cleanse. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's basically a stock, but less meat on the bones so you get more of what the bones have to share with you, like minerals and amino acids and such.</span><br />

<!--StartFragment--><span lang="EN-CA" style="line-height: 115%;">Bone broths are a good source of amino acids –
particularly arginine, glycine and proline. Glycine supports the bodies
detoxification process and is used in the synthesis of hemoglobin, bile salts
and other naturally-occurring chemicals within the body. Glycine also
supports digestion and the secretion of gastric acids. Proline,
especially when paired with vitamin C, supports good skin health. Bone
broths are also rich in gelatin which improves collagen status, thus supporting
skin health. </span><!--EndFragment--> </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe and pressed it into a muffin top pan, and topped it with marshmallows, chocolate bar, and graham crackers!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I topped the stack off with a vanilla custard sauce and some more sprinkles, because you can never have too many sprinkles on your birthday. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love you... </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Vicki</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last weekend I tagged on to my </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.ohdeerithinkiloveyou.blogspot.com/">sister</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'s little family getaway (sweet sister, I know) for some much needed relaxation time. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love going to Canmore because even though it's only an hour away, it feels like a world away from your regular life. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love looking in any direction and seeing divine mountains, and any possibility to run into a majestic deer really gets me going. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got there on Friday night and Kate, Mike, Emma and I went to dinner at the most amazing <a href="http://www.thebison.ca/">Bison</a> in Banff</span><br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pHdden9QTQM/TxR1myS0gbI/AAAAAAAAACg/q5AzvZp36TI/s1600/bison_rt_logo_red_rgb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="147" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pHdden9QTQM/TxR1myS0gbI/AAAAAAAAACg/q5AzvZp36TI/s200/bison_rt_logo_red_rgb.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was my first time but have been wanting to check it out on account of the fact that every single member in my family raves about it every time they go (which happens to be quite a lot) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really meant to take pictures of my meal so that I could share it with you all, but in my daze of great food and pork belly - oh how I love pork belly - I completely forgot to log what I was stuffing into my mouth.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So for that, I apologize.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did however, manage to get a terrible picture of my dessert - Caramelized Banana Cream Pie with Sponge Toffee and a little baby Fudgesicle. Yikes! In a good way...</span><br />

I guess it's not a question, it is a fact. I know that you're thinking that I'm way too hard on myself, and maybe I'm not <i>terrible</i> at blogging, just very slow. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I mean, this post was supposed to be up 3 weeks ago and I'm just getting around to it now, so I've decided to make my New Years resolution to blog faster. Be on the blogging ball.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here we go!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back in December I had a table at a little thing called <a href="http://www.marketcollective.ca/">Market Collective</a>, which showcases and celebrates local artists, musicians, and artisans. I had done one in the past and loved doing it but due to work scheduling I could not commit to it. But now I have made it my goal to be involved in as many as I can.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my first time back I shared a table with my lovely sister Kate, of <a href="http://www.ohdeerithinkiloveyou.blogspot.com/">Uh Oh My Deer</a> and here's a peek at what it looked like</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

American style<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I know that US Thanksgiving was 3 weeks ago, but I am a little slow getting these posts up (I am making a mental note to not let it go past one week of whatever event I am doing... good luck to myself)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyways - moving on - I told you on regular Thanksgiving that I consider American Thanksgiving to be 'real' Thanksgiving and I totally stand by that. NFL on all day long, 2 out of 3 of my teams won so not a bad day there... I shake my fist at you Aaron Rodgers...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cooking all day long with my Dad is the best part, we really take it upon ourselves to make this Thanksgiving a little different than usual ones, this year our big deal was 2 Turkeys! Yeah I just said that. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We did 2 -19 pound turkeys to get more dark meat and it's faster than one 25 pounder.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The best part, obviously, for me was the dessert. I try to be a little different and think outside the box from the traditional pie, but I still like to stick to pumpkin. It is my favorite fall flavor and I love making different things with it. Last year I made a pumpkin spiced trifle with cinnamon pastry cream and spiced whipped cream, oh memories.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this year I made a personal sized pumpkin tart, bruleed on top with a whipped maple creme fraiche. Yummers!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year some of our very special guests couldn't make it and they were dearly missed, so we felt that we really had to do a good job in their honor and I think we accomplished that. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's to next year!</span><br />

No, I am not American but who says you can't have two thanksgiving's a year? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyways, this year I am off sweets and breads which is easier said than done, but I really try to make things that I can have and make them really good so I don't miss having things like pie... oh how I miss pie.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I experimented with a pumpkin pudding with no crust, which is key. I can have maple syrup as a sweetener so I just substituted the sugar for maple syrup, cream instead of milk, egg, and spices, oh and of course pumpkin, the star of the show.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And voila! I topped it off with maple whipped cream and ate it all up. It was super yummy and I didn't miss pie at all. Well maybe a little... but definitely a perfect solution to a no carb situation. </span><br />

I just adore birthdays. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So for her (certain age) birthday we decided to take a stroll down 17th Ave to take in a few shops and to get some amazing <a href="http://www.mybigcheese.com/">poutine</a>!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was thrilled to see they had yam fries considering I am not allowed to eat potatoes (there's a difference.) I had yam fry poutine topped with shaved beef. DELICIOUS. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Later in the week we celebrated with friends and family and as promised I think I outdid myself on the cake this year. Better than last year, and that was tough to beat.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So without further adieu I present to you my new creation</span><br />

It's the time of year when I am most inspired flavour-wise. I love autumn colors and flavours, warm caramels, spices, apples, and pumpkins. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last year I made a pumpkin cake with cinnamon custard and chai spiced frosting...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">YUM</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not sure how to one up myself this year, especially because I'm taking a year off sweets (which is the worst punishment for a pastry chef and I'm not one hundred percent sure why I agreed to it) so I am looking for inspiration for her cake considering it's a landmark year. </span><br />

I'm not going to do the whole cliche thing and say "I never thought I'd be doing this but..." no, I have been meaning to start up this blog for a VERY long time and today is the day. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With a little bit (a lot) of help from my <a href="http://www.ohdeerithinkiloveyou.blogspot.com/">sis</a> I got it up and running. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Basically this blog will be an ode to all things pastry, the events I do and my experiments - good or bad - and things that inspire me. </span><br />
