Wasn’t this long weekend picture perfect? We had three sunny, warm weekend days in a row. What did you get up to? I spent hours in the kitchen preparing this delectable dessert – NOT!! I didn’t even have to turn on the oven for this one. I used a purchased dark chocolate shell to hold […]
This month, our group of volunteers met again with our budding bakers to create some tasty treats. These kids have really improved over the course of our sessions and we have the pictures to prove it! This yummy morsel is a re-make of the traditional pineapple upside down cake. By turning it into a cupcake, […]
Is it spring where you live? It sure looks like spring here! Bazinga…don’t you love that word…Mother Nature fools us again! We had snow on Sunday and we’re back to winter coats and tuques and mittens! The only good thing about this weather is that I can squeeze in one more comfort cookie before all […]
This is another delightful dessert that could easily be used for Mother’s Day. It’s moist sponge, layered with berries and whipped cream….no buttercream to fuss with and not too sweet…perfect, in my humble opinion! I used the Cake Boss’ recipe for the sponge cake and I was pleasantly surprised. You do have to spend some […]
This is the best craft I’ve come across in a long time! Thank you, Pinterest! I did it with two fourteen year-old girls, but I’m sure it would be suitable for crafters of almost any age (with parental support for the young ones). It looks like tie-dyeing but without the mess! Where was this idea […]
This Sunday is a special day set aside to honour mothers. It’s the most important, and in my opinion one of the most difficult jobs around….and it lasts a lifetime with no retirement! The rewards, however, are unsurpassed. This Mother’s Day, we’re taking my Mom (and Dad) out. This recipe is something I would prepare […]
What a sloppy looking mess on that cookie sheet!! I’m not ashamed to post this, though, because the other photos of this cookie that I found on the internet are just as bad!! Why then would I even bother to try these cookies out? Momofuku is quite the trendy restaurant in NYC and now here […]
It was my parents’ anniversary this past weekend. They celebrated 55+ years of, as my Mom so eloquently put it, “putting up with each other”! We had them over for a quiet meal, but we needed to have something special for dessert. As with many seniors (and not seniors), fat and calories are on the […]
When you say the word “shower”, you can receive a variety of reactions from women. Some love them; most see them as obligations. Beverley and I love hosting and preparing for a shower: the decorations, the food, the games, the whole atmosphere. This past weekend it was a baby girl shower so we could showcase […]
Before we begin today’s post, Sweet Times Two would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the families of those affected by the tragedy in Boston on Monday. My oldest daughter resides in this city. She loves Boston, has always felt safe and is very shaken by the senseless actions of those who heartlessly launched […]
