Cinnamon Buttercream Autumn Cake … fall for cake!
“I dream for a living”Steven Spielberg How would you like to attend the New York Cake Convention thanks to the wonderful people at the U.S. Confection Connection? That’s right, I read it correctly, but sadly a contest I am not eligible for because I don’t stay in the US or Canada. Still, anything with cake decoration, especially a theme based one gets me thinking, and a few mails exchanged with Ivonne where she said… “I really hope you take part, Deeba! Even though it’s for US/Canada residents, we are offering a prize to a participant outside of North America. It’s a cookbook but still … we hope you take part!”…

Baking | SPICY CINNAMON SHORTBREAD…Think Spice Cinnamon!
“Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” Harriet van Horne SPICY CINNAMON SHORTBREAD This is a sweet & spicy shortbread, not the traditional sort, because I made it with brown sugar that gave it a very different texture. In addition, I went further and sprinkled the tops with a mix of brown sugar & cinnamon before baking, which enhanced the flavour of cinnamon! Flowers on stars!! I love the ‘Think Spice’ monthly event at Sunita’s World. It does make you put on your thinking cap, and actually think the spice…at least with me it does! Can you imagine…I been thinking ‘Cinnamon’, her…

Apple Crumble with pecans & cranberries… the best of holiday baking!
Winter just isn't without the aroma of a crumble baking. Deep smells of cinnamon wafting through the house feels like a big, warm hug. My crumbles always have to have a generous topping. It really adds an indulgence to the perfectly cooked soft spiced apples that are blanketed by the crisp topping. Pecans and dried cranberries add so much texture to the bake, it's addictive.
