After months of putting it off, I finally grit my teeth, hitched up my apron and went for it: The Red Velvet cake. Don't get me wrong, I love red velvet, I love the texture, taste and colour, but my only issue with this recipe is that it's getting FAR too much airtime. It is … Continue reading Red Velvet Cake
I bought a new bundt pan a couple of weeks ago, and just really wanted to try making a giant donut. There was no special reason behind it, I didn't have a recipe that I've been DYING to try... I just wanted to use the pan. Cos donuts are cute, but giant donuts are even … Continue reading Chocolate Raspberry Donut Cake
It's been a while since my last post, mostly due to the fact that this month has been slightly off the charts cray-cray in real life (it never fails to amuse me how we refer to our daily lives as Real Life, and the internet as our fictional playground), and also in part because I've … Continue reading Carrot Banana Bread
There is nothing quite like a warm scone fresh from the oven, slathered in Devonshire clotted cream with a healthy dollop of raspberry jam on a cold, rainy afternoon to make you feel like lifting your pinkie finger while you sip your tea. In other words, classic acting posh and faking a British accent snack … Continue reading Featherlight Scones

Made my mouth water, and I then proceeded to google strawberry cake. I can't believe I have never … Continue reading Strawberry Cake
As we all know by now, I'm a fan of putting things in other things (lol...that's... what... she said? I don't know. There's a joke here). My brother wants me to create an Inception series, and while I like this idea, I have to brainstorm to get some inspiration for this. I had a Reese's … Continue reading Reese’s Peanut Buttercup Cupcakes
I had a friend's housewarming party to attend one night, and due to my constrained budget and also the fact that she totally has everything she could possibly want already anyway... I thought I'd do something special and bake her some cookies instead. And stuff them in a pretty jar. Which I now want to … Continue reading Roll-Out Sugar Cookies
I baked this batch of cupcakes at the end of May, it's been that long since I last updated. Mainly due to work, and also some weird personal stuff. Whatever. I made these for a friend's birthday, actually two friends (hehe, I'm sorry, I swear you're both special) who had parties on the same day. … Continue reading Butter Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting
I've got to work on my self-restraint. Honestly. Maybe I'll start tomorrow. After frosting my White Roses cake, I found myself with quite a bit of frosting still left on my hands... and I figured... why the hell not bake cupcakes to just use it up?? It would be like making mini versions of the … Continue reading Cupcake Mania
What do you get when you combine a simple white cake with fluffy lemon buttercream frosting?Cellulite.LOL just kidding (but not really), you get a cake, silly!During the week, I find myself inexorably drawn towards cooking sites and the cooking sections of the bookstores. I now realize that what I've been doing is storing recipes and … Continue reading Weekend in a White Garden
