Chocolate espresso nut tart | Butter Baking

Chocolate Espresso Nut Tart

So this tart is just ridiculous. I haven’t made something twice in a row in a really long time. Blogging just doesn’t allow for it – I am constantly wanting to try new things, so that I can test out different recipes, and so I always have something fresh to share with you. But this one was just THAT good, that I had to bake it twice. The photos you see … Continue reading →

Raspberry Walnut Crumble Bars

It’s now officially autumn – or fall – here in Australia. I’m a little shattered, because I’ve absolutely loved the gorgeous warm weather we’ve had over the past four or five months. I’ve enjoyed the long days, the warm evenings, the sun, the beach, and all the cocktails and ciders that have been consumed poolside and in outdoor bars. I’ve also loved the light, summery diet I’ve been eating and … Continue reading →

Strawberry and Custard Hand Pies

It’s summer over here in Melbourne. You wouldn’t know it with all the maple glazed pumpkin cake and gingerbread/eggnog macarons I’ve been baking. But it is summer. High summer. I swear. My days (once I’ve finished the morning bake at work) are filled with lots of tanning, laying by the pool, swimming, trips to the beach, buzzing night markets, long walks, afternoon cocktails and ciders, brunch in the sun, and warm, … 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 →

Blueberry Crumble Pie Bars

Spring is here! It’s going to be warm soon! Here’s how I can tell: 1. Mosquitoes are back. And biting. Love them. 2. I no longer have to layer up like an onion with jumpers and knits and coats and two or three pairs of socks and scarves and beanies just so that I can go outside. Maybe I can even pack up my winter coats for the year? That’s … 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 →

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 →

Blueberry Custard Pie Bars

Can I tell you a secret? When I first made these bars, I ate a large amount of the unbaked graham cracker crust mixture with a spoon. So the second time I made these bars (because my family and friends ate them so fast the first time I didn’t have time to take any photos), I made extra graham cracker crust mixture just so I could eat it with a … Continue reading →
