Cookie Cake

I love lists. To-do lists, mostly. I write them all the time. They get me through busy times, my day, all my homework and the prep for a trip overseas. I love ticking off the things I need to do, one by one, and watching the list get shorter and shorter, as my freedom gets closer. The satisfaction of finishing everything you needed to do on a list, and then … Continue reading →


Nutella Crack Pie

Crack Pie + Nutella? Yes, please. Just do yourself a favour. If someone in your household has slow cooked caramelized onions in the skillet you intend to bake in the night before, don’t bake in it. Even if it looks super clean and doesn’t smell at all. The onion flavour will go into your pie. Yes. It happened. My Nutella crack pie, very unfortunately, had a strange onion aftertaste. Which … Continue reading →


Skillet Cocoa Brownies

I know I said when I made these that I would probably never try a new brownie recipe again. But the thing is, I have recently become obsessed with brownies, and find myself craving them much more than I have been craving cookies. Which for me, is really really weird. So after making the ultimate brownies 4 times in the last month or so, I decided I wanted to find … Continue reading →


Strawberry and Blueberry Custard Pie

I love blogging and the blogging world. It lets me bake, write about baked goods, share my ideas, discuss by baking thoughts, share my versions of baked goods, read your comments, make baking friends, reply to your comments and talk about baking with you, read other blogs, see their baking ideas, and basically through posting, it allows me to talk to myself about baking. Because no one else I know, … Continue reading →


Peach Pie

I have never made, or even eaten, peach pie before. And as I type this, my first attempt at peach pie is baking away in the oven. I want it to hurry up because I’m excited to see how its going to turn out. But apparently I have to wait something like four hours before I can even cut it, because otherwise the juices will all leak out. Which is … Continue reading →


Bacon Cheddar Pull-Apart Bread

If you suffer from high cholesterol, I suggest you step away from the screen. There is nothing healthy about this pull apart bread. Quite the opposite actually. It includes all the ingredients required for a heart attack. But oh boy, is it deliciously finger-licking good. I really, really, really love bread. Not plain bread, but flavored bread, bread with bits of things in it, sweet breads or bread lightly toasted … Continue reading →


Strawberry Crumble Pie

How did I not get onto strawberry pie sooner? HOW? How have I been missing out on this delicousness all my life? Ever since making these tarts, I have had strawberries on the brain. I wanted to make strawberry pie. And I wanted to make strawberry crumble. And I didn’t know which one I should make first. Before I had time to decide, I saw a recipe for Strawberry Skillet … Continue reading →


Baked Pancake with Caramelized Apple and Pear

I am a pancake fan. I grew up on my mum’s crepes, which we used to eat with Nutella and whipped cream. And my grandma’s pancakes which my cousins and I would fight over and slather with golden syrup or lemon and sugar. When I was old enough to start cooking, I learned how to make buttermilk pancakes. And drop scones. I bough real maple syrup and found a fantastic … Continue reading →


Chocolate Chip Cookie Pots

Are you beginning to see a trend here? A lot of posts about chocolate? A lot of posts about cookies? A lot of posts about chocolate chip cookies? I love them. I know it. You know it. We all know it. They are the only thing I really truly crave (hence this). So when I’m baking for me, they are what I make. A friend of mine recently sent me … Continue reading →
