Chocolate Peanut Butter Baked Cheesecake

Alright. So how do you deal with making big decisions? Do you take the plunge and just do the life-changing thing? Or do you shy away from things that put you out of your comfort zone? Do you sit down and write a list of the pros and cons involved with your decision? Or do you just go with your gut? Do you talk about your feelings and your options with loved … Continue reading →


Rolo Bars

Life is funny sometimes. Like when you make an effort and spend time doing your hair in the morning and no one comments on  it. But then you don’t wash it for a few days and twist it back haphazardly to hide that it’s dirty and everyone tells you it looks great. Like when you really really like a boy but he doesn’t even realize that you exist. But then … 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 →


Caramel Slice

Caramel slice is pretty much a staple in most Australian cafes. It appears to be somewhat similar to millionaire’s shortbread. I have never made millionaire’s shortbread, but from the pictures I’ve seen on other blogs, it looks pretty similar.

There’s a thick, … Continue reading →

Do you like chocolate and peanut butter? Do you like peanut butter cups? What do you think, of like, a peanut butter cup on top of a cookie base? Yeah, you read me right. These little cups have … Continue reading →


Chunky Chocolate Oat Cookies

Sometimes you just need some good old, classic comfort. Whether its because its cold and rainy, you’re feeling unwell, or you’re just having a bad week, a bit of love and some familiar comfort food can make you feel a little better. This particular week was a pretty bad one. On top of the bad week, everything I tried to bake was just going wrong too. Do you believe that … Continue reading →


Nutella Chocolate Biscuit Cups

So. The other day I was in the kitchen, and I had full intentions of making caramel slice, but instead of making a slab of bars, I wanted little, individual, caramel slice ‘cups’. I got as far as the yummy biscuit base being baked off before everything went bad. Instead of sticking to my tried and tested caramel slice filling recipe, I decided to play around and try something new. … Continue reading →


Oreos

Oreos. Great with milk. Great in ice cream. Great by themselves. And now you can have homemade oreos. And you can put as much vanilla “creme” in the centres as you like! These actually taste like oreos. That’s the first thing everyone said when they tried them. The biscuits could be a little thicker. And a little denser maybe? But they do taste like oreos. These cookies are chocolatey and … Continue reading →
