Happy New Year Fellow Bakers and Friends, The weather outside is frightful! With temperatures (at least in Montreal and on Mars), hovering at -20 Celsius (that minus five on a Fahrenheit thermometer), Betterbaking.com is the place to be. Hot biscuits, warm bread, simmering soup, chewy, oven-fresh cookies and flaky pies or whatever else you […]

A Note from Marcy January 2021
Hello Bakers and Friends, We did it! Ragged and weary, we’ve reached the finish line of 2020 and have popped up on the other side winter in a brave new world. Gotta love do-overs and fresh starts! While January lst 2021 can’t possibly be a moment of instant healing at least we can now see […]
A Note from Marcy July 2018
Dear Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the July 2018 issue of Betterbaking.com! I have a habit that gets triggered each time I find a new passion, whether it be hobby or work related. My habit is called gathering. Depending on the endeavour, I gather research materials, tools and equipment as if I’m writing a Ph.D. […]
A Note from Marcy July 2020
Hello Bakers and Friends, I trust all is well with you and you’re keeping safe. Baking makes me happy (surprise) and also seems to keep me out of trouble since these days since I won’t even buy a drive-through doughnut and coffee. In Canada, you should know, some of our drive-thrus, including Tim Horton’s, […]

A Note from Marcy May 2020
Dear Friends and Fellow Bakers, Happy May and welcome to the Taurus issue of Betterbaking.com. Have you ever had so much to say and then the time comes to speak and you’re all tongue-tied or you simply forgot the stuff on your mind? That’s me a lot of the time but so much more so […]
A Note from Marcy May 2021
Dear Friends and Fellow Bakers, Welcome to the merry month of May 2021! I’ve created some really special things this month and I’m hard-pressed to choose a favorite recipe. The Blackberry Jam Cake with Caramel Icing is a classic from the southern kitchen where buttermilk-based, blackberry cakes still appear in Southern baking cookbooks. If you like any […]
A Note from Marcy November 2018
Dear Fellow Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the November 2018 Issue of Betterbaking.com! For a Canadian who hosts (primarily) American readers, I’m having my annual editorial déjà vu. Didn’t I just chat up pumpkins and harvest last month? I thought so! But that was Canadian Thanksgiving. Frankly, one could do worse than a Thanksgiving rematch […]
