Baking Treats For Your Eyes AND Your Tastebuds
My latest YouTube video is about my Maple Bacon and Pecan Sticky Buns! I have made these several times now and just love the soft moist buns and the flavour combination of the maple and brown sugar with a slight spicy kick of chipotle powder.

After watching an episode of the Spring Baking Championship I was inspired to make a “Hot Cross Bunny.” The result was both cute and delicious!
I LOVE making biscuits. They are the perfect accompaniment to soup or stew and in the winter, I generally make them at least once a week.

For my GBBO bread week bake-along, I made a soda bread filled with caramelized onions, Gruyere cheese and thyme.
I tinkered with a family recipe for soft rolls and the results were the softest bread rolls I’ve ever had!
