fall colour ombre cookies for thanksgiving by The Sweet Escape

Ok, so I may be a bit late for Canadian Thanksgiving but there's still plenty of time for my friends south of the border to whip up some beautiful sweets for your Thanksgiving celebration. Sometimes you get inspired to bake and you just go with it.

June 2, 2018 by TheSweetEscape 1 Comment

CBC The Goods Hosts, set stylist

Soooooo it's been about 9 months since my last post. Oops! And no, I'm not creating a little human. I thought I needed a short update post on what's been happening before jumping into what's new and exciting. Here's the deal - I unexpectedly ended up getting a job working in TV. I know, don't you hate when that happens? There's obviously a little more to it but essentially I received a phone … [Read more...]

April 6, 2017 by TheSweetEscape 3 Comments

Hand Painted Fondant Round Birthday Cake by The Sweet Escape

Happy freak'n birthday to us! Four years! Somehow it feels longer but shorter at the same time. What I'm most proud is that I'm still pumping out original content on a weekly basis and (hopefully) inspiring people four years after I decided to start a blog because I was bored at work. Can you imagine? Now I'm juggling 4-5 jobs at the same time with a to-do list that seems to write itself. But of … [Read more...]

DIY Triangle Holiday Wreath by The Sweet Escape

It's a Christmas post! Don't get used to it because you won't see many of these around here this season.

SPACES: Love is in the details

February 2, 2016 by TheSweetEscape 1 Comment

Well it is February so I couldn't pass up the one time of the year where it's totally acceptable (and expected) for me to chat about love, hearts and anything pink. As far as the love dept. that's pretty much non-existent in my personal life.....but that's why we have home heart decor! Or maybe you're head over heels googly eyes over someone and just want to stare at hearts all day. … [Read more...]
