At the end of September, I participated in a wonderful event called Capital Cupcake Camp. It’s styled after tech camps, and the idea is that lots of bakers (pro and amateur alike) and cupcake fans come together to show off their baking skills, try different flavours, and perhaps learn a little from each other. This year, I hear the event raised over $6000 for the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa and the City of Ottawa program Women Alive. For more information, you can check out the original event listing at http://cupcakecamp.eventbrite.com/. The first image here is of my entry “Chocolate Chili Charge” (recipe coming soon) and my friend Katy‘s prizewinning “Brown Butter Pumpkin Spice”. Read the recipe »

This is a version of a family favourite, simplified by my sister (Kate). The filling of these pierogies is quite versatile. I would recommend it on toast or rice (Kate recommends it as a filling for pita breads), or even as a pasta sauce if you reduce the bread content and perhaps add a little olive oil. The pierogi format here is not at all traditional, but turns out very presentable and is the perfect size and packaging to save for lunches.
