The ultimate picnic cake in a “sheet cake” format, this Lavender and Lemon Cake is not only delicious, it’s easy to transport too. That is not the only reason sheet cakes are cool. They are quick and easy to ice and provide the perfect ratio of cake to icing. If you love this format, you…
Sweet Treats
Delicious Date Balls
I’ll admit upfront, I’m a “Date Ball” convert. Love em. Before changing over though, the thought of eating a Date made my face contort and my shoulders hunch. Dates! Ugh! Those are dried, sticky and overly sweet fruit with a gooey texture that moms try and give their kids to get their kilojoule intake up, right? …
Fiery Ginger Chews
I was first introduced to Ginger Chews earlier this year by my husband. He did a sailing course, got sea sick and some kind soul presented him with a pack of Gingerbons to alleviate the nausea and save his life. He came home with a packet of these fiery sweets and I finished them….
Salted Macadamia Nut Brittle
I just want to say straight away that I am not a fan of peanut brittle. Nope. But Macadamia nut brittle is different. It’s on a whole new level to Peanut Brittle. It is addictive and I am warning you now that your waist line could go awry. #justsaying. It’s happened to me. I first…
Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever
I find it absolutely catastrophic that since my website launched 9 years ago, it has never featured a simple Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. I need the *shock/horror/hands on cheeks* emoticon. Aaaaaaah!!! The only other recipe I had added which is a distant cousin of the choc chip cookie was an oatmeal choc chip cookie recipe I found on…
Easy Eggless Chocolate Mousse
It’s not that often that I get to tell you about a recipe with just 4 ingredients! It makes me so excited to introduce you guys to a super easy chocolate mousse recipe! I mean with just 4 ingredients it has to be easy, yes? YASSSS! This week, you might have seen on my Instagram…
Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing
Get your stretchy pants on people because carrot cupcakes are here and they are here to stay. The icing is a dessert in itself – the cream cheese is completely heavenly and a natural pairing for carrot cupcakes / cake. I usually reserve this type of icing for carrot cake but now I think to…
Old-Fashioned Creamy Fudge (with fudge-making tips)
YASSSSSS! Creamy, ridiculously addictive, old-fashioned fudge! With Condensed Milk!! FUDGE me its good! (sorry) I am going to confess straight up here – this is my 5th time making fudge and its only the first time I have managed to nail it down to the right consistency and taste. That means, I failed FOUR times. Yikes!…
Easy Chai-Spiced Cupcakes
I did a yoga workshop last weekend – it was 3 hours long. That was not the exciting bit. The exciting bit was the Home-brewed Chai Tea and the carrot-raisin-apple-almond-orange cake we had at the end. I love yoga but food really is always the highlight, right? No amount of downward-facing dog could feel as…
Coconut and Berry Cake
Well hello! Have you missed me? I MISSED you guys! I thought I would never see the day of actually sitting down and writing out another recipe. #life yoh!! 3 kids, yoh!! Running a business, yoh!! In celebration of actually finding a moment and posting this recipe which I made and photographed, I am not…
Christmas Sheet Cake
Yesterday we bought our first real Christmas tree. It is 3 metres high. I took my little boys with me and naturally, they chose the biggest available option. I wasn’t exactly telling them that they couldn’t have it though…I quite liked it too. It smells so beautiful and looks perfectly at home in our lounge….
White Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream and Candy Canes
It has been cold these last few days. Like really cold. Like we need to make hot chocolate and fires, kinda cold. So we did exactly that. As you can see 🙂 We are 2 weeks away from official summer yet this past week you would never say that. Yoh! But it’s naaaaice. I’m not…
