We’re convinced that food blogger Shaheen Peerbhai (Purplefoodie.com) is the wicked witch from Hansel and Gretel. Why else would she lure us to her online house of treats tagged with fluffy cinnamon rolls and mud cake, poached pears and pesto bread? Why would she send jars of homemade strawberry jam to the bpb office and launch a new catering service just when we were starting to diet? And now, during the most vulnerable time of the year, she plays her plump card: a bake sale on December 15 featuring all our favourite treats from lavender shortbread to double chocolate chip muffin.

Yes, she’ll fatten us up and have us for supper. Bon appétit, Shaheen.
