So I’m doing it all over again. I’m breaking the rules by baking with pumpkin after Thanksgiving. WAY after Thanksgiving. It’s summer here, so the whole thing is a bit redundant anyway. But you know what? This cake. Is SO. Ridiculously. Good. That it should be baked all year round. And I don’t even like cake. But this is worth breaking ALL the rules for. Promise. It all started with … Continue reading →

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 →
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.

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 →
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 →

Mocha Icebox Cake
I can still remember the first time I tried an icebox cake, or what in Australia is more commonly called a chocolate ripple cake. Chocolate Ripple is the brand name of a deep, dark, rich, rippled chocolate biscuit, and the back of the packet has forever had a recipe for icebox cake on it. I’m not sure anyone actually buys the biscuits unless they are making some version of the … Continue reading →
