Sometimes in life, we make big deals out of small things. Small deals get blown out of proportion and turned into super big issues. Sometimes, it’s when you’re fighting with someone (typically a partner), and the smallest issue turns into a three day fight. All I’ll say about that is how. freaking. boring. Sometimes, it’s when you’re stressing out about a potential problem, something that could possibly happen, a “what … Continue reading →

So this is me trying to be healthy. All the bread and petit fours I have been baking in my course, all the pretzel chocolate chip peanut butter truffle brownies I have been eating and all the procrastinating I have been doing has been making me feel a little heavy. So much so, that I was even inspired to go for a run recently. So instead of going on a … Continue reading →

So I just went for a run. Well it was more like a walk/run. But it’s still a pretty big deal. Because I haven’t been for a run since like, 2010. Not even kidding. Once upon a time, I was one of those weird people who was addicted to the gym. The story goes that when I finished high school I lived in Europe for a year. I spent most … Continue reading →

So I’m really sorry for the recent slow down in my posts. It’s not that I haven’t been baking, necessarily, but more that I seem lost for words. Life the last several weeks has been busy, and when I sit down to write a post, the words just don’t seem to want come out. And I don’t have the time to wait for them, so I close my laptop and … Continue reading →

My brother is the brain behind these babies. I think I have a new found love for him now. He’s a kid, only 13, in his first year of high school. He has a massive sweet tooth, loves his chocolate and is always asking me to bake him these. Sometimes, he comes up with a brilliant baking idea of his own, like this one. On a recent Sunday afternoon, I … Continue reading →

Biscoff Spread. I know I’m a little bit late to jump on the Biscoff bandwagon. But it’s not that I didn’t want to be on the Biscoff bandwagon, it was simply that I can’t buy Biscoff spread in Australia. Because we are at the end of the world, quite literally, so we get everything last. And pay more for it. I eventually found Biscoff cookies here at home, but my … Continue reading →

I love lists. To-do lists, mostly. I write them all the time. They get me through busy times, my day, all my homework and the prep for a trip overseas. I love ticking off the things I need to do, one by one, and watching the list get shorter and shorter, as my freedom gets closer. The satisfaction of finishing everything you needed to do on a list, and then … Continue reading →

Kingston biscuits. They are an Australian biscuit, an oaty, buttery sandwich cookie with a delicious, creamy milk chocolate filling in the middle. They are yummy, but I try really hard not to buy packet biscuits, what with all the additives and preservatives, when I can easily bake up some cookies myself. So when I saw a recipe for a homemade version of Kingstons, I jumped all over it. And they … Continue reading →

On the particular day when I baked these cookies, I had salty/sweet on the brain. It was a Tuesday morning, and Tuesday mornings at culinary school are a bit of a lazy bore. Four straight hours of theory class. Yes. Four. Hours. Straight. Two hours of ‘bullying in the workplace’ and two hours of ‘intro to hospitality’, back to back, in the same classroom, with the same group. I LOSE … Continue reading →

I just got back from a holiday in Europe a few days ago. I had the absolute best time, filled with laughter, sunlight and fantastic family and friends. I spent some time in Poland visiting my family and all my friends, traveled with some Australian friends, visited Budapest and spent a few days in Berlin. And in Berlin, I was lucky enough to meet up with Erin from Texanerin Baking! … Continue reading →
