Recipe: Saskatchewan Butter Tarts

I’ll bet that you can’t eat just one. It’s simply not possible!

Recipe: Maple Ice Cream with Berries

This ice cream is very rich, but is nicely balanced by the whole blueberries and chunks of strawberries running through it.

Recipe: Miniature Vanilla Scones

These scones are sweet but not cloyingly. They are dainty without being too “cutesy”. Perfect for a shower, served with coffee or tea, they are light, delicious and very easy to make.

Recipe: Vanilla Cookies with a Cinnamon Kiss

These are a gorgeous, not-too-sweet cookie. Sparkly with sanding sugar, subtly hot with candy hearts, sweet with vanilla icing. They are like that perfect kiss.

Recipe: Profiteroles with Peppermint-Vanilla Ice Cream

Even though they are surprisingly simple to make, these delicacies will always impress. You can make just the profiteroles in advance, or make and fill them with ice cream, ready to pull from the freezer for last minute guests.
