It’s summer over here in Melbourne. You wouldn’t know it with all the maple glazed pumpkin cake and gingerbread/eggnog macarons I’ve been baking. But it is summer. High summer. I swear. My days (once I’ve finished the morning bake at work) are filled with lots of tanning, laying by the pool, swimming, trips to the beach, buzzing night markets, long walks, afternoon cocktails and ciders, brunch in the sun, and warm, … Continue reading →
Nutella Stuffed Wholewheat Banana Coffee Cake Muffins
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 →
Condensed Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies
Today I’d like you to meet my blog’s new home! What do you think? It still has the same Recipe Index and Baking Conversions pages, all the recipes have moved over here, you can still read all about me, and if you follow, I’m happy to say I haven’t lost any of you! But it took work. Hours and hours of me asking annoying question after annoying question and nagging my amazingly … Continue reading →
Gooey Biscoff Butter Cake Bars
Hello blogging world! As some of you may remember, I announced at the end of last year that I will soon be moving to self-hosting Butter on my own site. Well. Buying a domain name and paying for hosting was one thing. Setting up an actual site is a whole other ball game. Life’s pretty easy over here at WordPress.com. You don’t have to think about much, you just blog and … Continue reading →

Creme Brûlée
So, about a year ago, I sat down and wrote a list of goals for 2012. It was a spur of the moment thing, I’m not even sure what motivated me to do it, and the list was just quickly tapped into my iPhone notes. I then proceeded to immediately forget all about it. Completely. I didn’t think about it again. Not once. Until a month or so ago that … Continue reading →
Christmas Spiced Brown Sugar Shortbread
Hey everyone? It’s Christmas! Seriously, how did that happen so fast?! It’s Christmas Eve here today. I spent the entire afternoon baking various Christmassy and non-Christmassy baked goods for, well, Christmas. There are homemade Baci chocolates, espresso ice cream, a ridiculously amazing new version of this cake and the best passionfruit tart ever. All of those recipes will be coming to you in the new year! But today, I have a gorgeously … Continue reading →
Spiced Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Maple Glaze
Umm… Am I allowed to bake with pumpkin after Thanksgiving? I’m new to the pumpkin baking game. So is it like, socially acceptable? Because I’m totally doing it. Right now. I know that it’s not fall anymore in the States. I know that it is no longer pumpkin-baking season. I am well aware that Thanksgiving is over. But all of that is completely null and void anyway. Because here I am, in Australia, … Continue reading →
Gingerbread Macarons with Eggnog Buttercream
Christmas is only a week away now! How crazy. Where did this year go?! It was winter all of about five minutes ago. It was cold and rainy and wet and miserable. Then before I knew it, it started getting warm. And the sun started rising earlier. And summer came along with a bang. The stores put up their Christmas decorations. And trees. And Santa popped up in all the … Continue reading →
Banana, Pecan and Nutella Swirled Snack Cake
So this cake started with a few brown bananas I had in the fruit bowl that were staring me down all of last week. Because, just FYI, I am a little bit weird, and I have this thing with textures. Like, I will only eat bananas if they’re green. Once they’ve got a few brown spots on them, it’s over. There’s no way I’m going near them. They’re just way … Continue reading →
