Hoppy Eggster every bunny! I hope you’re all having an eggcellent day and enjoying it with family and friends. Have an Easter egg for me!
Easter egg basket cake
April 7, 2012 By 8 Comments
Ok so I might have made one last Easter treat. Who can resist an Easter cake that looks like a giant edible basket of eggs? It was pretty easy to make. I just whipped up my favourite chocolate mudcake (sorry I was sworn to secrecy with that recipe) and iced it with chocolate ganache. Then [...]
Last minute Easter inspiration
April 6, 2012 By 8 Comments
Happy Good Friday! One of the perils of always thinking is that I’m always coming up with last minute idea or things I want to try. I don’t have any time left to try out Easter ideas so I thought I’d make a little round up of my favourites that I’ve seen across the web [...]
Easter cupcake ideas
April 5, 2012 By 8 Comments
I have a rather vivid, almost child-like imagination. Not quite Alice down the rabbit hole extreme but I like to think I know how to dream. I’m always thinking of new ways to decorate, different organising tricks, recipes, cake decorations, places I want to go, things I want to do… oops lost in a little [...]
Mini choc-chip hot cross buns
March 31, 2012 By 13 Comments
I was a hero this morning. Ok maybe not a serious hero in all senses of the word but I did make one family pretty happy. I was near the end of my Saturday morning walk/run when I spotted a gorgeous white fluffy kitten with big blue eyes cowering on the footpath. This little girl [...]
Citrusy polenta cake with raspberry swirl
March 29, 2012 By 10 Comments
We have this little tradition in my family of ‘cocktail hour.’ It’s not your traditional round of martinis but every night at around 6pm we have a drink and a few chips. My most favourite combination is tasty cheese CCs and a diet coke or as I like to call it CCs and DC. I [...]
Giant savoury hot cross bun for Easter
March 28, 2012 By 10 Comments
I’m a little late with my Easter inspiration this year. I was waiting for one of those light-bulb moments of creativity but it seems they just might have all been used up with wedding planing (maybe you have a quota every year). I did have a little strike of an idea the other day when [...]
A Birthday to remember and a tasty one at that
March 23, 2012 By 8 Comments
Thank you everyone for my lovely Birthday messages yesterday. I had a fabulous day. Being the food-obsessed girl that I am, of course it involved a lot of eating. I thought I’d give you a little peek into my day. Looking back I’m really not sure how I fitted it all in but oh how [...]
Salted caramel filled chocolate cake – Happy Birthday to me!
March 22, 2012 By 21 Comments
Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday dear me, Happy Birthday to me! That’s right, on top of all the wedding celebrations going on around here today is my 27th Birthday. Ugh, writing 27 I still can’t believe that’s what goes in the box next to my age but it’s true. 27 [...]
My beautiful green bridal shower
March 19, 2012 By 10 Comments
On Saturday I was one lucky girl. My sister Anna, friend Sarah and mum threw me the most beautiful bridal shower. The colour theme was… you guessed it, green! It was quite a coincidence that it also happened to be St Patrick’s Day. Mum’s house was transformed into an amazing land of green. Everyone got [...]
How to host a baby shower (or any other girly party)
March 14, 2012 By 10 Comments
Call me crazy but I really love hosting parties from a little intimate dinner to a 20-30 people baby shower. As long as I’m organised, I’m pretty good at staying stress free and pulling it off smoothly. It’s when I’m without a plan that I tend to break down in a stress heap that involves [...]
How to make butterfly cakes and easy mini jellies
March 13, 2012 By 4 Comments
The first butterfly cakes I ever made were from a recipe my grandma gave me. I love baking anything from her old recipes so was eager to try them. Really, butterfly cakes are just jazzed up plain iced cupcakes but there’s something just so delicate and pretty about them. My theme for the baby shower [...]
