Don’t you just love cakes or treats with a little surprise centre? My best is a Pinata Cake! Or those cupcakes that ooze caramel when you give them a bite.

So, I messaged my friend Karie who was instantly keen to tackle this project. Karie is the ultimate baking partner & we were so chuffed with […] Read more…
I recently met a lovely women’s magazine food editor at a function. The conversation started with the usual chit-chat: introducing ourselves, talking about what we do etc. I mentioned that I am a super keen cook.

Last year around this time, I was really eager to start making my own ice creams. By November I just couldn’t handle all the gorgeous ice creams that I was seeing online, so I just had to get an ice cream maker of my own. I usually consider the purchase of any (small or large) […] Read more…
