I have been planning this for months! I am so excited to share that I will be hosting a culinary experience in TUSCANY in November. Details and booking information will becoming your way in the next couple of days. I know it’s been on my bucket list, if it’s on yours too, come with me!
Oof. I simply can’t help myself, it never gets old. This is why I get up so early, why I am no fun after 9pm. It’s why I put music on at 0 dark thirty and dance while I bake. Every day beautiful croissants tell me I’m exactly where I was meant to be 🧡🥐

Open at 9 :) - I HAVE SOME VERY EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE!! My time at my little bakery here at Green Light will be over on March 31. So that I can give 100% focus to the new cafe I’m opening with a fantastic partner. More news to follow 😍

As I was cutting up these #nanaimobars for tomorrow, I couldn’t help but think about how many end scraps (we called all scraps liter cake, because they just went into a 1 liter deli container) @em_perseo_ went through 😂 - our croissant maker extraordinaire, during the run of a week.
Y’all - the weather report from my window at 4:30 am is trash. I hate closing, but I’m going to have to today. I think a John Hughes marathon is in order, after coffee (getting back to sleep once I’m up is impossible)

LINK IS UP! DINE AROUND STARTS TOMORROW! I’ll be offering a brunch box for $30. It includes 2 cheddar old bay scones, two lemon poppyseed muffins, two thick slices of chocolate chip banana bread and two twice baked chocolate almond croissants. Order the day/night before for pickup between 9 am and 11 am the following morning. This way you get the freshest pastries :) - and that’s really the only way - no one wants a day old muffin.

My mug to keep the algorithm happy. My head is FULL of ideas, my heart is full because I followed my heart. My body is still a little tired. Going to scoot off with my darling mister to celebrate our 1 year anniversary, then it’s back to knocking out pastries!
Thank you for making 2023 such an amazing fresh start for me! I need to rest a bit, create a bit and restock a lot. Also might sneak off with my better half for a few days. The bakery will be closed until January 20th, when I host the first croissant class of 2024. I've got some pretty exciting ideas in my head, need a bit of time to work through the logistics ❤️
Kids, the weather is trash. There’s no getting around that. But I made chocolate pecan salted caramel buns. Leave your house.

Friendships are what hold my world together, the support I get from them can’t be measured with enough words or thanks. My dear Jo, the plant that accompanied this card that made me cry was beautiful, until I murdered it. It was just what I needed (the card, not the plant) - thank you.
Home stretch. This is a normal way to drink orange juice, yes? I didn’t recognize my cousin yesterday. Asked her what her name was when she picked up her order. If you wondering if I’m a bit tired.
Had a chance to get this up on the Shopify site. Limited run. Had a customer standing beside them on the weekend, she asked what bread I was making…I was not making any bread. I told her it was the candle and she didn’t believe me until I handed her one 😂
I didn't think we'd make it, but we did. It's December 1st and I can stop trying to be clever and creative with numbers. If you are looking to get something for Christmas, this is the last day. Even if you email me and ask real nice.
Would you like another fun fact? The number 3 is considered sacred in many cultures. Holy Trinity, 3 Wise Men, 3 Blind Mice, 3 Doors Down...I was just checking to see if you were still reading. 3 Days left to order :)
Fun fact, Christmas falls on a Monday this year. Which means the Saturday before will be pure chaos, you can at least scratch baked goods off your list!
It's getting serious now, only 5 days left to get your holiday order in. I don't want to panic anyone, but Friday is December 1st (BTW, I'm the one who's panicking with this countdown)
7 Days, 1 Week left to order for December. Which means it's only a week until December 1ST....how are we here already!!

I think the test batch of triple chocolate cookies was a success. I didn’t realize I had to take the photo two seconds after putting the tray down, almost missed the opportunity! Dark, milk and ruby chocolate - hitting the Shopify site soon!

This photo was meant to be the cover of the cookbook. Between the voices in my head (who have never liked a picture of me since I was 10) and feedback from the “no offense, but nobody knows you, you should put food on the cover” crowd. I chickened out. @appleheadstudio made me laugh through the entire shoot, and patiently dealt with my insecurities. The whole team at Applehead is GD joy and I wish for them that I had been brave enough to go for it. Thank you Liam and Steph.

One of the best parts of my job is recipe development. Taking a very basic cookie recipe and adding a sprinkle of this, a dash of that and a hefty dollop of the other thing and landing on the flavour💥 I was hoping for.

It’s hard for me to wrap my head around this, but about a month from now I’m going to be standing in the middle of my new bakery. Opening day is still TBD, lots of items to cross off the list, stay tuned! But oh so soon! In the meantime, check out the websites in my bio 🧡

Allow me to introduce light fruit cake. She’s not as boozy as grans dark fruit cake. But she still packs a flavour punch with dried cranberries, candied oranges and almonds. Oh, and Cointreau - she’s a little boozy. Available for preorders.

Sunday funday involves a little bit of baking, and a little bit of camera experimentation. When you can’t decide if you want lemon curd or lime curd - you have both.

Tis the season. Pictured is pear preserves with lemon, vanilla and honey. The golden lady to the left? Pear syrup/pear honey - whatever you call it, it will make your morning better. More fruit honeys to come, will be available at the shop soon. The jar in the middle was my tester, quality control is important work 😋

These cookie boxes were the most popular items at the pop ups last year. So I wanted to begin taking pre-orders early, a girl can only make so many cookies! This will help me mentally prepare for the coming carpal tunnel.

Which one will you choose to grace your Thanksgiving table? Lemon? Caramel Apple? Pumpkin? Sweet potato? You really can’t go wrong. Homemade crust, tempting filling and a little je ne said quoi to make them centerpiece ready.

Is #throwbackthursday still a thing? Cause this pic goes WAAAAY back. Grew up on the darkside. Graduated from Dartmouth High, went off and lived a life. And now here I am…back in Dartmouth 😂 - my new little bakery will be located on Baker Drive in the O’Regan’s Green Light building (thank you to Patrick O’Regan - another Dartmouth High Alumni.) Many details to follow but I am over the moon to have the opportunity for a take 2.

These are frozen and ready to bake at home. Instructions are included so that you get the very best results. Your order will contain eight buns and the rum-maple glaze.

ORDER NOW FOR PICKUP AFTER DECEMBER 15, 2023
We have literally sold hundreds of these. And for good reason. I have converted the most ardent - "I don't like" fruitcaker - I swap out the boring old dried fruit for tender dried cherries, add citrus peel that I candy, and some pecans because they're fancy. And then for months I bathe these beauties alternately with Taylor Fladgate Port and JD Shore Spiced Rum. This isn't your grandmother's fruitcake. It's my grandmother's fruitcake. Eat a slice with a glass of port after you finish wrapping gifts, or add it to your charcuterie board for a little holiday pizazz. Order before September 15th so that you don't miss out! Pardon the photo...it's hard to make fruitcake look sexy.

For the kids in the back, this is a dot ca website :) - I am opening a very small custom bakery in the coming months and I will share the plans as they materialize. I am beyond excited for the opportunity to start again! In the meantime, the craziness of the holidays will be on us before we know it, and although the quantities will be limited, I will accommodate as many as I can. Please check out my Shopify store. Link in Bio.
In the next few weeks I’ll be adding some whimsical mouthwatering options, so check back regularly.
