Hot Cross Bun Macarons

Oh yes. I did. You may have read my last post  where I mentioned I was working on something a little different to share with you this Easter. And this is it. I did it over Christmas with Gingerbread Macarons and wanted to see if I could do the same thing with hot cross buns. Well, it took a couple of tries to get the filling right, but here we have them … Continue reading →

Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Baci Chocolates

Oh my gosh. I made homemade chocolate hazelnut spread (aka Nutella) the other day. And it blew my mind. I made it at work, and used it to fill chocolate shortbread sandwich cookies. Then I ate a large portion of it with a spoon, before making another double batch, and turning that into little homemade Nutella tarts to sell in the cafe. Man oh man, why haven’t I gotten onto … Continue reading →

Homemade Peanut Butter

We are making peanut butter today! All by ourselves. And you need all of two things: 1) Peanuts 2) A food processor Easy! I made peanut butter for the first time in Berlin earlier this year when I had a baking day with Erin from Texanerin Baking. I was absolutely amazed as the food processor whizzed and whizzed and turned her peanuts into a spread. I couldn’t believe how easy … Continue reading →

Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

So this is me trying to be healthy. All the bread and petit fours I have been baking in my course, all the pretzel chocolate chip peanut butter truffle brownies I have been eating and all the procrastinating I have been doing has been making me feel a little heavy. So much so, that I was even inspired to go for a run recently. So instead of going on a … Continue reading →


Walnut Chocolate Chip Bean Brownie Cake

So I fell so absolutely, head over heels in love with these healthy cookie dough balls, that I have since baked them three times, and would happily eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Hey, the main ingredients are like, chickpeas and peanuts, so they are like, a healthy protein snack, right? Never mind all the chocolate that’s in there, it gets cancelled out by all the chickpeas. Anyway, so … Continue reading →

I spent some time in Poland visiting my family and all my friends, traveled with some Australian friends, visited Budapest and spent a few days in Berlin. And in Berlin, I was lucky enough to meet up with Erin from Texanerin Baking! … Continue reading →


Rice Pudding

A lot of my childhood memories revolve around my grandparent’s house. My parents have always worked full time, so when I was young I would go to my grandma’s after school and on the holidays. My cousins would be there too and they are boys, so we would get up to all sorts of mischief. I fondly remember my grandma chasing my cousin around with a long wooden spoon in … Continue reading →
