But you can't take the drive outta me to keep trying new things!

It's been a month since my first ever Baking Class ended and I have not stopped cooking, baking and making tasty treats for myself and my loved ones. I've taken on a massive baking project pretty much every weekend and I have the photos to prove it...I mean share it.

If you follow me on Instagram, you'll have seen these beauts before, if not - follow me on either Instagram or twitter to get the latest updates from my kitchen:

Now, start salivating...

Order of the pics:

First week outta class, I made my mom's birthday cake! This recipe was from the Globe and Mail and my mom requested it weeks before hand; a pistachio, cardamom, orange zest cake with chocolate buttercream and whipped cream/pistachio topping (I added the chocolate butter cream icing and whipped topping as twists on the original recipe) - cause I had left over chocolate buttercream in my freezer and also, cause look how pretty!!! (Props to my little sis for helping to decorate this beast)
Next weekend, something for my dad: French Fruit Tarts; a big one and mini ones! So much fruit! I went a little crazy at my neighbourhood market - but! Not a single berry was wasted, I froze the rest for nutrient rich smoothies ;)
Mothers day cake (G-momz request): simple (from scratch) devil's food cake with white buttercream; took me back to my childhood and all those b-day cakes my mom lovingly crafted for me growing up :) (Added bonus to this cake was the make shift decor that looked like boobies, cause moms gots boobies.
The following week I had a craving, some peanut butter and some half decent bakers chocolate so I whipped up some home made peanut butter cups - because I gots mad skills and confidence in my abilities yo!!! Totally making these again in a smaller muffin tin I just bought myself this past weekend at the dollar store with more peanut butter and less chocolate :P

Not pictured, is the eclairs and cream puffs birthday dessert I made for my bestie for her b-day this past weekend - still need to perfect those and I didn't have time to make either proper pastry cream OR real whipped cream for the filling - oh well, next time!

Stay tuned for more culinary madness!
