The Spiced Honey Cake is ready for the oven. Can I wait the two days it needs to "ripen"? Time will tell.

Up next, an usual lavender and pepper honey cake by @doriegreenspan. Let the steeping begin.

Finally used my new wreath-shaped Bundt pan. The house smells like Christmas.

On the blog today, Sticky Toffee Pudding with Bailey's Caramel Sauce. Secret ingredient? Take a guess.

I didn't make the bed because of this guy. Am I lazy or a push-over? Likely a bit of both.

Walnut Raspberry Scones just went in the oven. Time will drag until they're done.

My FBC Swag Bag has been usurped by a 10-pound sun-bather.

Having kiwiberries at Granville Market. These are just pre-pubescent kiwi fruit. Tasty. Tart. Juicy.

The @fsvancouver has a creative way to communicate and help conserve. Love it!

It's that time of year again. Concord grape pie is on the Thanksgiving menu. #gastropost #DFS14

I kid you not. This is a homemade mouse trap. Huckleberry Finn would be proud. The bait is set. Now we wait.

#Muskoka butter tarts fresh made by Rick at Chancery Lane. Amazingly good!

Fall colours in Muskoka. A quiet moment between @whatscookingbb sessions.

After 12 years of marriage I shouldn't have to tell my husband not to sample. But I do. Each time.

Savory Pecan & Cheddar Bites baked on my gigantic new @Nordicware pan. Holds 40 vs 24. Love it! Need another stat!

My Kinzie Colors #chicagocutlery knives just arrived. Someone is claiming them as their own. #NotHappening

The cake is decorated. Six colours. Eight tips. Nine piping bags. Let the clean up begin.
