So the last couple of weeks have just been crazy full of baking over here in my world. My friend had her engagement party over the weekend, and I was in charge of baking all the treats for her dessert table. It was. Insane. Basically, I was up to my ears in butter, sugar, almond meal, eggs and chocolate. I kept running out of the stuff. I kept having to … Continue reading →
White Chocolate Chip Easy Nutella Brownies [with a Video]
So I filmed more baking videos for you last week!! Yay! Actually, my lovely, amazing, super talented, photographer friend Eddie filmed them for you. And he edited them for you too. Thank you Eddie! The story behind these brownies is that Eddie wanted to bake something from the blog. I’m pretty sure the text I got went like this: “OK buddy I am bored and craving chocolate. It’s time to attempt … Continue reading →
Chocolate Espresso Nut Tart
So this tart is just ridiculous. I haven’t made something twice in a row in a really long time. Blogging just doesn’t allow for it – I am constantly wanting to try new things, so that I can test out different recipes, and so I always have something fresh to share with you. But this one was just THAT good, that I had to bake it twice. The photos you see … Continue reading →
Peach and Strawberry Flapjack Cobbler
So it’s getting cold. And I don’t like it. I want warm, summer, sun, long days, being outside, the beach, fruit, cocktails… And the list goes on. Instead, it’s rainy, the sun goes down super early, the heater is on and I’m back to wearing two pairs of socks to bed. And I’m in denial. I don’t want to accept that we’re already more than halfway through autumn. Nor do … Continue reading →
Passionfruit Tart
So I feel like lately I’ve been bombarding you with chocolate. And chocolate. And MORE chocolate. If there is anyone out there who doesn’t like chocolate (umm… if you do actually exist, how are we friends?) and is possibly complaining, then this one is for you. But it is also for the chocolate lovers. Because this is quite possibly better than chocolate. OhmygoshdidIreallyjustsaythat?! Yes. I did. I first made this … Continue reading →
Hot Cross Bun Macarons
Oh yes. I did. You may have read my last post where I mentioned I was working on something a little different to share with you this Easter. And this is it. I did it over Christmas with Gingerbread Macarons and wanted to see if I could do the same thing with hot cross buns. Well, it took a couple of tries to get the filling right, but here we have them … Continue reading →
Double Chocolate Chip, Espresso, Coconut Hot Cross Buns
So I have a confession to make. I wasn’t going to share a hot cross bun recipe with you this year. I made you some Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns (my faves!) last Easter. This year, I was going to make you something a little different (and I’m working on it, so if all goes to plan, you’ll be getting those tomorrow). Anyway, so I wasn’t going to share another … Continue reading →
Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Baci Chocolates
Oh my gosh. I made homemade chocolate hazelnut spread (aka Nutella) the other day. And it blew my mind. I made it at work, and used it to fill chocolate shortbread sandwich cookies. Then I ate a large portion of it with a spoon, before making another double batch, and turning that into little homemade Nutella tarts to sell in the cafe. Man oh man, why haven’t I gotten onto … Continue reading →
Fudgy Caramel Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have a baking video to share with you today! I have meaning to film some videos for the blog for ages. It was just a matter of finding a friend’s kitchen I loved and annoying said friend enough to let me bake in it (my kitchen has a raised breakfast bar which makes it hard to film in). Anyway. I was at a friend’s house the other day, and … Continue reading →
Lemon Coconut Bars
Okay so it has been AGES since I last posted and I am SO sorry! It has been a slightly ridiculous week. Actually really crazy. I took on a few extra shifts at the new cafe I’m working at. The days are pretty long and intense in that hot little kitchen, but I got to bake a few of my own recipes to sell in store, which was really fun! … Continue reading →
