Fudgy Caramel Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies

Fudgy Caramel Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have a baking video to share with you today! I have meaning to film some videos for the blog for ages. It was just a matter of finding a friend’s kitchen I loved and annoying said friend enough to let me bake in it (my kitchen has a raised breakfast bar which makes it hard to film in). Anyway. I was at a friend’s house the other day, and … 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 →

Caramel Pecan Shortbread Pie Bars

So I am DONE. No more school for me. Ever. I will never, ever, have to study again (unless I am crazy enough to go back to school at some stage in the future. Not that I think school is crazy. I loved school. But I need a break. Before I lose my mind). I will never have to sit a test or exam again. I will never have to … Continue reading →

Maple Pecan Pie Bars

These bars. Are. Amazing. I’m really sorry about the photos though. They aren’t great. Frankly, they’re quite boring. I was having a long day. I had baked quite a lot and needed to photograph a few things in succession. Any small fiber of creativeness I possess had been sucked out of me by this point, and I just wanted to get a few shots of these bars and pack up … Continue reading →

Caramel Mars Bar Brownies

I’m sick. I sound like a seal. Crossed with a man. Crossed with a teenage kid who’s voice is breaking. It’s so hot. My head feels groggy, my nose is stuffy and I have the sexiest seal cough ever. What are you like when you are sick? Do you take the day off work or school? Do you stay home in bed? Or on the couch, in your pyjamas, surrounded … 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 →


Mars Bar Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups

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 →


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. Caramel slice (slice is the word Australians use for all types of bars) is delicious. It involves a biscuit base made from coconut, sugar, flour and melted butter. There’s a thick, … Continue reading →
