Hilary's Description:
I’m Hilary - blogger, photographer and cake baker par excellence. Well, at least par insolence. I became obsessed with baking somewhere between learning my mum’s banana bread recipe as a kid, and an odd episode of making Valentine’s Day cupcakes with little hearts on them for my co-workers at the university bar.

Cupcakes in Calgary
26 July 2010
I've decided once and for all that I'm not a cupcake person. By that I really mean that I'm not a bakery cupcake person. I do like to make my own from time to time, because I can control the amount of sugar that goes into the little bad boys. (For an enthusiastic baker, I have a serious aversion to ...
Tofino Time
24 July 2010
Tofino, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love your wild coastline and rugged shores. I love your spectacular sunsets gleaming from behind tall trees. I love your wildlife, especially your bears foraging by the side of the road! I love Middle Beach Lodge, and the cutest cabin I could ...
San Juans: the friendliest little islands
19 July 2010
I was especially looking forward to the next stop on our summer tour, our only scheduled dip into the US. On this trip I knew I wanted to spend a considerable amount of time in the Pacific Northwest, an area I hadn't previously experienced much of. I also knew I wanted some relaxed, chilled out ...
Vancouver! City of positive people and fractured feet
16 July 2010
Greetings from Vancouver, the city that negativity forgot. Vancouver was the first stop on our cross-Canada tour, and it was amazing. In the week we were there I grew to love this city in a way I didn't when I first visited a few years back. Part of the attraction this time round was staying with a ...
On the road
02 July 2010
Photo courtesy of The Library of Congress on Flickr My little corner of the blogosphere hasn't been doing very well recently. Luckily I'm a great one for excuses, and I have plenty of them for you. Between packing up our flat, leaving London and shipping all our stuff to Edward's parents' house for ...
A very English cake: Victoria sponge
22 June 2010
I work very hard at being Canadian. To most of you that probably sounds a little odd. Why would you need to work at something that you just are? Well, I've been living on this tiny island called Great Britain for almost six years now, and I can tell you from first hand experience that it's very ...
My everyday loaf. Not for snobs.
17 June 2010
Stop the presses! I have learned to make a real, live, loaf-shaped loaf of bread. A loaf of bread that is springy and not solid as a rock. A loaf of bread that you would actually want to turn into a sandwich. And put in your mouth. And eat. Believe me, in my kitchen this counts as a ...
Elderflower time
11 June 2010
For those of you in elderflower-growing regions, I wanted to remind you that it's cordial-making season again! If you've never made your own elderflower cordial, this is the year you should start. Because what began for me last year as a fun experiment has, I guarantee, turned into an annual ...
Baking for victory: sweet potato spice cake
06 June 2010
The other day I went to see a wonderful little exhibit at one of my favourite London museums, the Imperial War Museum. The Ministry of Food explores how Britain adapted to food shortages on the home front during the Second World War. From the Women's Land Army, which tilled the fields while the men ...
Classroom chocolate cupcakes
27 May 2010
The first order of business today is announcing the winner of the cookie cutters and Fudges biscuits. I put the names of all the eligible entrants into a hat and the winner was... Sarah! Sarah, I'm sending you an email. Now, onto cupcakes for a crowd. Cupcakes are not a common occurrence in my ...
