The Most Epic Rainbow Cake

Rainbow Cake

What better way to unwind from a long week of work than to get together with your girlfriends and bake a rainbow cake? I’ve always wanted to try one of these beauties, and today I finally got to taste the rainbow.

The final product! We added sweet candy lips and two flavours of marshmallows - rose and toasted coconut. Holy sugar overload, Batman!DSC04170 DSC04176 DSC04178 DSC04180

Isn’t it beautiful?! *Proud*. I love the way the colours turned out, they’re so vibrant and cute! And while the cake itself was a bit too sweet (okay, WAY too sweet), I’d rate the experience a 10/10.

What’s the prettiest dessert you’ve ever made/seen? I’d love to hear about it or even see a picture! Leave a comment and I’ll choose a dessert to replicate!

The Bicycle Thief - Best Food in Halifax!

Every once in a while, food will leave me speechlessly scraping the crumbs off my plate. The Bicycle Thief, Halifax’s best restaurant, is incredible. I’ll just let these dishes speak for themselves.

First off: Ripassa red wine and fresh baked focaccia bread with red pepper hummus

The starter (and my favourite dish): tuna tartare with avocado and lemon aioli

Mains: Beef shortrib with sweet potato puree and seasonal vegetables

Saffron scallop risotto with fresh parmigiana cheese

Dessert: “Life-changing” (according to my waitress, and it’s so totally true) butterscotch caramel cake. Oh, my god.

Ever since my first visit, The Bicycle Thief has been my favourite restaurant in Halifax. It simply cannot be beat!
