Everyone and their mother has been baking and decorating these little Cookie Monster cupcakes, which I'm sure you've seen on one of the many social network platforms throughout the web. I think I first saw these two years ago on Tumblr, but who are we kidding? These have been baked to death, but they're still … Continue reading C is for Cookie
You zest that bitch like crazy and incorporate it in all your desserts. My favourite colour in the world is yellow, specifically Mustard Yellow. I have several items in this shade scattered around in my room, my house, my car, my office, etc. My latest favourite item is this Moleskine 2013 Le Petit Prince daily … Continue reading When life gives you lemons…
Being assigned the task of bringing dessert to a barbecue in the perpetually hot climate of this Equatorial country in which we reside is one of the most stressful things that has ever happened to me. A good sort of stress, but stress all the same. I mean, the thought of how hot the barbecue … Continue reading Nigella’s Raspberry Lemongrass Trifle
The dessert world is almost as fast-paced and ever-changing as the fashion industry; the hot new items literally sell like hot cakes, and what's the ultra trendy bite of today can easily be overthrown by a new, super cute, super sweet, and super delish treat tomorrow. Do you lot remember when red velvet was ALL … Continue reading Macarons

She rang me around a month ago to say that she was throwing … Continue reading Berry Passionate Pavlova
I've hit a snag in my holiday baking (or holibaking as it shall henceforth be known) plans: my family doesn't eat desserts as fast as I want to make them! Arrrrrgggghhhhh. This is tough guys, like, it's a serious problem. To me. I've got all this pent up energy and a basket of browning bananas … Continue reading Holibaking & Hummingbirds
Two of my favourite people came to visit today, under the pretense of wanting to watch me bake. Really, they came to nap, watch telly with my siblings, and eat whatever I baked while they did the above. I love them anyway though, and perhaps a little bit more now as they made the effort … Continue reading Chocolate Raspberry Mille Crepe Cake
Holidaaay~! It's been a very, very long time since I've taken a good break from work; with TWO public holidays falling on Tuesday and Thursday of this week, I did what any sane person with too much annual leave left over and took the three other days off for a total of 9 days to … Continue reading Happy Holiday Cake!
Here's something you don't like to see on a dessert recipe blog: I had my annual health check-up at work this morning, and the results were discouraging.
