Join me on my quest of making homemade treats with less sugar!
I bought a Wilton pops pan at a clearance price of CAD$5 yesterday and I couldn’t wait to try it. So today, I tested it with this bite-sized brownies. This is an easy recipe where you can get your kids involved. I only mixed my batter with a bowl and a whisk so older kids... Continue Reading →
These were something I baked in June but I never had a chance to blog about it. My reader U asked me if I have any tart recipe to share. So I flipped over my trust-worthy book The Art and Soul of Baking and found her this vanilla shortcrust dough. I tried making the shells... Continue Reading →
I made this for my Aunt-in-law for her birthday. The preparation of this cake was mostly identical to the joconde imprime entremets I’ve made before. This time I used a different kind of sponge cake to wrap around my dessert. So technically speaking, this was no longer a joconde imprime entremet anymore. The tang mian... Continue Reading →
Candy making is so much fun. It may seem intimidating but all you need is to pay attention to the temperature, which can be easily done if you own a candy or digital thermometer. This chocolate almond buttercrunch is delicious. The crunchy toffee is mixed with almond pieces and then covered with a layer of chocolate... Continue Reading →
This was what I made for myself on my birthday. I was on vacation for three days right before my birthday. I didn’t want to rush myself on cake preparation after I came back. Nor did I want a store-bought cake. So my solution was to make one the night before I left. This is... Continue Reading →
Muffins are super easy to prepare. All you need is two bowls and a spatula. Whenever I have ripe bananas that nobody in my family likes to eat, I would turn them into muffins or cakes (such as chocolate banana chiffon cake). Banana cakes usually develop more flavor the next day. So if you can... Continue Reading →
This is a healthier version of my chocolate muffins which are made with sugar substitutes. The brand I use (Splenda Brown Sugar Blend) is part sweetener and part real brown sugar. According to the package, only half as much is needed to replace the brown sugar in any recipes. I’ve also used a mixture of... Continue Reading →
I finally have the time to transfer my favorite chocolate cupcake recipe to my blog! This recipe was originally posted to my Facebook page EC Bakes (formerly EC Treats) in September from last year. I have been making these cupcakes for almost two years and I still haven’t found any other recipe better than this... Continue Reading →
I finally tried making my own doughnuts! Doughnuts are traditionally deep-fried and need proofing, which is a lengthy process for me. The ones I made are "cake doughnuts" which use the muffin mixing method and are baked in the oven. It is definitely more time-saving, less messy and a lot healthier (and of course the...

Are you a fan of peanut butter? I am. I love peanut butter so much that, when I was a kid, I used to grab the jar and eat it with a spoon (I hope my mom is not reading this right now)! I bought two big tubs of peanut butter when they were on... Continue Reading →
