Peanut Butter Chocolate Truffle Cookie Cups

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 →

I know, I know, there’s a pattern starting to form over here… Of Nutella stuffed things. I’m sorry. Nutella is just SO good. Actually, scrap that. I’m not sorry. Because who doesn’t love Nutella stuffed things?! And if you don’t love Nutella stuffed things, then I only have one thing to say to you – WHY??? So now that we got that out of the way, let’s get back to these … Continue reading →

Double Chocolate Chip Nutella Stuffed Oreo Crumb Cookie Cups

I haven’t posted in a week. I feel really bad. But things have just been crazy around here.

Healthy Apple, Yogurt and Oat Breakfast Muffins

So I’ve put on a little weight recently. Just a few kilos. It’s actually bothering the heck out of me but I’m trying not to freak out about it. I have no idea how it happened. It couldn’t possibly be due to all the beer, cider, lychee martinis and white sangria (that stuff is amazing) that I have been drinking now that spring is here. Or it couldn’t be because … Continue reading →


Peanut Butter and Banana Healthy Breakfast Muffins

So I cannot sit still. I am incapable. Like, I think I may actually have a problem. I am incapable of simply doing nothing. And I am addicted to technology. I cannot just be. I have to be doing, all the time. And it’s becoming ridiculous. Picture this: Tuesday night. Girl on couch. Watching Suits on TV and drooling over Harvey. Laptop on knees. Blog, Facebook, Foodgawker, Pinterest, email, recipes … Continue reading →


Easy Nutella Brownie Oreo Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting

So let’s talk about culinary school. It’s pretty awesome. And I kind of love it. We have lots of different classes, each of which run for a term. There has been cakes, pastries, bread, basic cooking, restaurant classes, hot and cold desserts, yeast goods, petit fours and more. I absolutely loved hot and cold desserts, and pastries, and yeast goods. Basically I love the classes in which we make great … Continue reading →


Chocolate Caramel Cups

As some of you might know, before I started studying patisserie, I was doing an Arts degree. I was supposed to finish it last year, but I had to defer one of my units for a semester to be able to study patisserie with less fuss and less paperwork. At the time, it felt like the most brilliant idea, as it lightened my workload and gave me one less boring … Continue reading →


Chocolate Chip Biscoff Streusel Muffins

I’m well and truly back from my holiday now. Solidly settled in. Which means work. And 5am wake ups. And culinary school. And my bosses (they are identical twins!) have gone overseas, so I have been baking the cupcakes at work every morning. Which means long days. And tiredness. And the snooze button. And a massive morning rush. And no time for breakfast. Or for much at all, really. Not … Continue reading →
