After reading about The Daring Bakers, i finally plucked up the courage to join. I’ve been reading my favourite bloggers and noticed they were also Daring Bakers so it was a case of ‘anything you can do, i can do’ (let’s not get too cocky – i’m leaving the ‘better’ part out!). It was [...]

I am a hopeless piper. I’ve only done it a few times, but each time i stuff it up without fail and turn my pretty cupcakes into big gloopy blobs. So, aside from the wonky looking meringue, these cupcakes are devine. The cupcake itself is light and the dessicated coconut gives it a light crunchy [...]

***STOP PRESS*** I think i have found it. An almost as good alternative to the Monaco Bar. It’s made by The Authenic Ice Cream Company and it’s called the Ice Cream Sandwhich. From memory, the Monaco Bar was a little bigger, but the texture is as i remember it. The chocolate “bread” is soft (not [...]

These carrot cupcakes are delicious and moist. I even had them for breakfast one day as it was easy for me to just grab one on the run (not the most healthy breakfast i know). The cream cheese adds a little richness to the cake and i love the added crunch of the walnuts. Don’t [...]

This recipe was given to me as part of my kitchen tea gift from my bridesmaids. They had asked all my friends for their all time favourite recipe and collated it into a cute little photo album and wrapped it up with ribbon and finished it off with a mini whisk. I must admit that [...]

As usual, i was feeling peckish for something sweet so after scouring my cupboard for some inpiration, i stumbled across a [...]

This recipe was actually for salt and pepper squid but after one too many squid disasters i’ve kinda given up on them. I hope to master squid one day but for now, prawns work just as well. Frozen prawns i imagine will not work well so please try and get the freshest prawns you can. [...]

My obsession with cupcakes is growing by the day. I’m not sure why i love them so much. Maybe it’s my obsession with all things small. Lately, i’ve been searching all things cupcake. As i trawl through thousands of sites featuring cupcakes i’m finding myself totally inspired by all the amazing, creative creations out there. I’ve got hundreds of pics [...]

I am so surprised i haven’t blogged a Nigella recipe yet. She is my idol and why i got into baking in the first place. Ever since we subscribed to Foxtel i became hooked to the food channel and that is where i first realised how awesome she is. I had always known and heard how great [...]

When it comes to biscuits, nothing belts a melting moment. A good melting moment literally does, melt in your mouth. Once the biscuit melts, you’re left with the sweet and soft filling, also melting on your tongue creating dance waves across your taste buds. When it comes to eating my own creations, i’m usually quite [...]
