Friday Favourites

I can't believe it's almost the end of May, this is my first Friday Favourites in a really long time.  Hopefully you will enjoy some of the stuff posted here.  Of course I'm going to include a plug for my soap business.

Here we go

• In Toronto there is a group of awesome bike riders that organize the Cupcake Bike Ride, May's ride is taking place this weekend.  I can't wait to go!
• Goodies Gourmet Soap's fragrance contest is almost over, you have until May 31st to get your ideas in. 
• These amazing rainbow chocolate chip cookies are made by Jessie the CakeSpy mastermind.
• This party looks amazing, especially the cupcakes from Amelie's House.
• Susan Yuen makes the cutest bento boxes and her pictures are great.
• Nadege Patisserie is a French cafe in Toronto, prices are a little high and some of the products aren't the best but what is the best is their Salted Caramel macarons.

Also my friend Cailin has moved her blog back to Tumblr, so check that out too.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Contest!

Sugar Scrubs

Besides teaching and volunteering at Pride Toronto.  I try to run this baking blog and I run a soap company called Goodies Gourmet Soaps.  Well, my soap company is having their first contest.  Here is the info to participate.  The prize...soap!

We just got three new scents and now it is time to name them and we’d love your help!

For the person who comes up with the best name of the scent you will win a fun soap of your choice in that fragrance. Below I will describe what the scent smells like and all you have to do is come up with the best (dessert or sweets inspired) name. Check out our existing fragrances first, cotton candy is already gone ;)

Ok here we go...

#1 - sickly sweet sugar with a hint of vanilla (smells like Lush’s Snow Fairy)

#2 - Honey, citrus and toffee (smells like Lush’s Honey I Washed the Kids)

#3 - smells like liquid sugar...remember those big rainbow lollipops? (smells like Lush’s Rock Star)

Contest is open until May 31, 2011. All you have to do is email us your idea, don’t forget to tell us which number you are naming.

Get your thinking caps on!

Goodies Gourmet Soaps

I'm so excited, I finally have the website up for my business Goodies Gourmet Soaps.  Please show some support and head over to the site just to check it out.  We've been working on the site for a long time making everything from scratch (takes longer when you're not a computer programmer, or really know nothing about computers).
