Toasty Topping

It was my brother’s birthday last week, and I wanted to make a special treat for him and his fam. This doesn’t take any special brainstorming because they all absolutely love Lemon Meringue Pie. I wanted to put a bit of a twist on it though, and decided to make a cupcake version. I briefly […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon Lemon Loaf

February 24, 2019 Baked Sunday Mornings

We had a big fundraising event at work last week, and the following day, an email went out about some leftover items for sale. I wasn’t really interested until I saw the last line: LEMONS AND LIMES FREE TO A GOOD HOME. I remembered this Lemon Lemon Loaf was on our agenda for today, and […]

I’m currently facing a disaster of epic proportions at my job: my new team does not eat baked goods. And I’m not talking about the one person who’s gluten-free, the one that’s lactose intolerant, or the other one that’s doing an elimination diet. I’ll bring tasty treats to our weekly team meeting, and maybe three […]

Lemon Rhubarb Bundt

It’s official. I’ve reached the end of the internet when it comes to rhubarb recipes. I was waiting for Smitten Kitchen to post something new this year, but nothing popped up, so maybe she feels the same way. The very first rhubarb recipe I posted was in the first year of Planet Byn, back in […]

When I sat down to write this post about my friend Francis’ 1st birthday party, I realized I’ve documented all the major events leading up to this milestone: his parents’ engagement party, his mom’s wedding shower, and of course his baby shower!

Lemon Blueberry Layer Cake

Easter Cake

Last year’s Easter Cake was a work of art, in my humble opinion. Three layers of marble cake with Nutella filling, speckled buttercream frosting and cute little chocolate nests with mini eggs on top. I mean, come on. It doesn’t get much better than that. I couldn’t decide what to make this year, and I […]

Fresh Strawberry Bundt

You may remember that when I left my old job at the beginning of last summer, my former co-workers sent me off with a two week farewell treat tour. They took turns either baking something or buying treats to bring in, as a thank you for all the goodies I brought to them over the […]

Rhubarb Lemon Squares

When I was sick back in June and lying around on my couch drinking hot water with honey and lemon, I pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I was going to completely miss rhubarb season this year. I accepted the sad tragedy that it would be a rhubarb-less summer here on Planet Byn. […]

Well let’s get July started off right! As I mentioned the other day, June was not the greatest month on the foodie front over here. What I didn’t talk about was the greatest tragedy of all: it appears as though I’ve missed out on rhubarb this year. I’m going to see what I can find […]
