The Messy Baker:
Thumb-damaged cookie. I do this. Every. Single. Time. Better eat the evidence.
The Messy Baker:
So? How’s YOUR day going?
The Messy Baker:
Raspberry Pie headed for the freezer. My Mother’s Day morning will keep the oven busy and the kitchen warm.
The Messy Baker:
These Basil & Cheddar scones are heading to the freezer. I’ll bake them from frozen on Sunday for Mother’s Day lunch.
The Messy Baker:
The hardest part of homemade sourdough bread is waiting for it to cool. Tick tock.
The Messy Baker:
This will tide me over until dinner.
The Messy Baker:
Got out the step stool to take an overhead shot. Seconds later — he’s ready for his close up.
The Messy Baker:
My latest knitting project being used as a pillow. The sweater is barely started and it's already covered in cat fur. At least he complements the colours I've chosen.
The Messy Baker:
It’s beginning to look a lot like Canadian Christmas. Pulled over to take this shot on a quiet Ontario road this morning.
The Messy Baker:
Bring on the snow. I’m making homemade hot chocolate — Canadian milk spiced with orange, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. It’s a jazzed-up version of the kind Mom made when I was a kid, but no less warming. Marshmallows optional. #QualityMilk #sponsored @dai
The Messy Baker:
Who wants hot chocolate and a story? It’s time for my annual Christmas-time story. And for once I didn’t ruin anything. Sharing a video and recipe for Christmas Spiced Hot Chocolate made with Canadian milk as well. #QualityMilk #sponsored @DairyFarmersofC
The Messy Baker:
Again?! Every single time. Oh well. Better eat the evidence.
The Messy Baker:
Forget Downward Dog. Napping Cat is the best position. You don't get much of a stretch, but it takes zen to a whole new level.
The Messy Baker:
Looks like I'm done canning for the season. Cat's moved into my maslin pan.
The Messy Baker:
I'm at @bakerandscone prepping for the baking class. All these scones are so distracting!

The one-and-only Elizabeth Baird. Touring a research services farm with one of my culinary idols. #FFC17
The Messy Baker:
Hanging out with the turkeys. #FFC17
The Messy Baker:
Rain? What rain? Everything's sunny here. Mini Lime-Mint Cheesecakes. Need I say more? #TheyShootTheyEat #PlayOffSnacks #hockeysnacks #ad
The Messy Baker:
Tip jar options at @planetbeancoffeeco. Anyone with a cat knows "Over" is asking for trouble. What do dog owners think?
The Messy Baker:
For context, I wear small gardening gloves and a size 7 shoe. This rhubarb is officially gigantic.
The Messy Baker:
I would pay good money to know what this guy is thinking.
The Messy Baker:
Mini Lime-Mint Cheesecakes. The secret is in the lime-mint sugar. Made this is my Vitamix. #HockeySnacks #PlayoffSnacks #TheyShootTheyEat #ad
The Messy Baker:
Morning meetings at a local cafe are the best.
The Messy Baker:
Long horn cattle in Ontario? You bet. Yesterday, I toured @yuranch_ farm. These calves are only days old. Mom watches us carefully. Learned about native grasses, local pollinators, and small-scale sustainable cattle farming.
The Messy Baker:
Beef & Mushroom Terrine @borealis_grille. This is just the beginning.
The Messy Baker:
Win or lose, these Mini Lime-Mint Cheesecakes have a place at the playoff party. #ad #Vitamix #HockeySnacks #PlayOffSnacks #TheyShootTheyEat
The Messy Baker:
When it rains most of the long weekend, you bake with the flavours of sunshine. Lime and mint sugar form the base of tomorrow's recipe. Stay tuned.
The Messy Baker:
Things to learn from your pet: Treat everyday like it's the middle of a long weekend. #catsofinstagram
The Messy Baker:
My wisteria helps celebrate the Victoria Day long weekend.
The Messy Baker:
Pear & Smoked Gouda Dutch Baby. I feel a long weekend coming on.
