As I was driving home from town earlier today, I came to the scary realization that one of my biggest fears is that I have a brain tumor... but I think it's just bad headaches. And then I end up in hospital where the doctor is nowhere near as good-looking as McDreamy because this is … Continue reading Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Milo. I'll drink it hot, I'll drink it cold, I'd eat it in it's powder form, I'd sprinkle it between two pieces of plain sliced bread, I'd do anything with it. I'm a Milo ho, yo. Milo is a very popular drink here, it is a chocolate and malt powder, and has become a staple … Continue reading Milo Cupcakes with Condensed Milk Frosting
What does one do when one bakes a cake and the cake falls apart when one tips it out of the pan? Go absolutely batshit cray-cray on the cake and mash it into pieces in a rage. That's what. And then, one obviously repents, decides to break up the other perfect layer as well and … Continue reading Red Velvet Cake Balls
After about a year of no significant physical exertion, I decided to get off my steadily burgeoning behind and take up my friends on their invitation for their Sunday morning activities. The only problem is that we underestimated our early-20's Saturday night abilities to wear ourselves out. I was woken up on Sunday by my … Continue reading Productive Sunday
The Banana Bread/Quick Bread obsession continues with this delightful recipe I found on Joy's blog, a combination of all the good things in the world: BananasStrawberriesButterLove in a pan. Right there. Anyway, I came home from work slightly early-ish that day (which means I came home on time, yay me!) and was hunting for banana … Continue reading Brown Butter Strawberry Banana Bread
Wow, that title is a mouthful. A good mouthful, however!This one is over a month old, mainly because I always intended on baking it again and taking better pictures but couldn’t find the time to do so. I might later, but for the time being I don’t see it happening. In any case, my cousin … Continue reading Meringue-Frosted Vanilla Cake with Raspberry filling
I posted a similar recipe before that I adapted from my aunt's, but this time I decided to try out Amanda from iambaker.net's recipe. I wasn't up for adding frosting, especially considering these cookies are just so delicious when plain. I whipped up two batches that day, and I have to say that mixing this … Continue reading Amanda’s Sugar Cookies
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
