I decided a few weeks ago that it had been far too long since I’d tried to make a great chocolate mousse (and failed miserably). Some Googling a few days ago led me to Gourmantine The Blog, and specifically, this post on the best chocolate mousse recipes. I was intrigued by the ‘winning’ recipe by […]

We were speaking of cupcakes, weren’t we? Recipe found here and in the Dowser Series Companion Cookbook.
I’ve finally collected together some of the recipes from the Adept Universe. So far I’ve included sixteen cupcakes, two cookies, and a brownie from Dowser, books one through six, and Catching Echoes (Reconstructionist 1). I’ve made the cookbook available as a free PDF download while I slowly develop and test bake more recipes. I will update […]
CONTEST CLOSED. WINNER TBA I had six different recipe cards, all representing a different Dowser book, test baked, proofed, and printed for The Bookcon 2016. Then I shipped a bunch back from Chicago for giveaways and such. They showed up today. I’ll probably be doing random flash giveaways with the postcards over the next few months […]

Dowser 6: The Cupcakes
FYI The following cupcakes either appear, or are mentioned, in Dowser 6 – just in case you want to bake along. 🙂 I’ve linked the names to the recipe (if I’ve published it). I will slowly work away at getting more of the recipes published. Lift in a Cup – white cake with coffee buttercream […]
This year I thought it would be great fun to support the SPCA on National Cupcake Day. To that end, I opened an ‘online bakery‘ for Cake in a Cup and I’m inviting you to make a donation. I’ll be hosting a virtual party on my blog and on Facebook and Twitter throughout the day. […]

The post actually included links for FIVE different chocolate chip cookie recipes, and Gertie was planning to test bake all five. I wished her good luck on the massive undertaking, saying that I’d tried the NYTimes recipe. And, […]
Disclaimer: I’m not a pastry chef. I’ve baked these many times, and I’m always happy with the results but I’ve just written up the recipe – including the metric conversion. Please let me know if you spot any typos. 🙂 Some visuals: Step 2: Step 7: Step 8: Step 10: I’ll cut the individual squares […]
My butter tart recipe, as promised. Disclaimer: I’m not a pastry chef. I’ve baked these many times, and I’m always happy with the results but I’ve just written up the recipe for the first time – including the metric conversion, as requested – so your results may differ. Butter tarts are a Canadian thing. I bake […]
I tossed a couple of handfuls of Tanzanie by Cacao Barry in the banana bread I made last Saturday for our anniversary. Then, with too many indulgences in Vancouver already, we didn’t eat any of it until yesterday morning. It’s insanely good. I’m not a fan of the Tanzanie on its own or as a hot chocolate. […]
