I'm a big fan of frangipane tarts and have been meaning to try a chocolate version for a while. Frangipane is a sweet pastry cream made with ground almonds that is usually used in baked tarts along with fruit. This pear and chocolate frangipane tart recipe is made with a chocolate pastry as well as a chocolate frangipane filling so it will certainly keep the chocoholics happy! With pears being in season and a wonderful companion to both chocolate and almonds, it was a no-brainer to use them in this tart. The result is a rich and sophisticated dessert...

Before I knew it I had devoured 5 of them!I now know that the deliciousness of a madeleine depends on 1) having a light and airy batter and 2) being served very, very fresh –...

Gingerbread is one of those flavours that is synonymous with Christmas, and it also happens to be one of my favourite flavours to bake with! These cupcakes are light, fluffy and loaded with fragrant gingerbread spices. The rich cream cheese icing (made with Lancewood cream cheese) is the perfect topping, and a mini gingerbread man adds some crunch and a dose of cuteness. This is definitely one to add to the holiday baking list!Note: If you don't have a mini gingerbread man cutter, a star or Christmas tree look equally cute. Or simply use some festive sprinkles if you prefer!Gingerbread fans,...
