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 →

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 →

Pumpkin Pie

Travelling is an interesting thing. I absolutely love it. I love the experiences it brings. The places I get to see. The people I meet along the way. A few years ago, when I finished high school, I moved overseas for a year. I lived in Poland, and travelled whenever I could. Then someone, I think it was my dad, suggested I go to New York and visit his second … 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 →

Apple and Almond Crumble Pie Bars

Today is going to be a little bit different, because the story behind why I made these bars is a sad one. My dear friend’s mum, Sophie, passed away last week. She was an amazing woman, full of life, love, energy, positivity and strength. She left this world before her time, and will be greatly missed by many. I made this pie in Sophie’s memory, and gave it to my … Continue reading →

Traditional Apple Pie

I have blogged about a lot of apple pies in this little blog’s short existence. There have been little apple pies, toffee apple pie bars and Polish apple crumble pie, but no classic pie. Which is strange, because traditional apple pie is something I have made for years. I love this pie. To me, it is perfect. And a pie-loving girlfriend was coming over for coffee, so I thought I’d … Continue reading →

Toffee Apple Pie Bars

Having raw pie pastry in the fridge could be even more dangerous for me than having raw cookie dough around. Um.. Yum. Today when I was at work at the cupcake shop, they were baking apples for their toffee apple cupcake. And the smell wafting out of the oven throughout the little shop was just ridiculously fantastic. I was like a puppy, sniffing at the oven trying catch another whiff … Continue reading →

Pecan Pie Bars

A large amount of my baking occurs in the evenings. My favourite time to bake is actually on a rainy day – when it is cold and wet and grey outside there is nothing more I want to do than spend the day in the kitchen and bake a pie. Unfortunately for me, you can’t have everything you want in life and a free day off is a rarity. So … Continue reading →

Little Apple Pies

Apple pie is an institution in my house. I love it. When I was little my mum would always make it and put aside some raw dough for me to snack on. I would also eat the apple filling by the bowlful, and Mum used to yell that she wouldn’t have any left for the pie. Everyone’s favourite part of apple pie is the pastry. Crumbly, rich, buttery, delicate pastry, … Continue reading →
