Cakes don't have to be fancy or have revolutionary flavour combinations to be delicious, in fact sometimes during a bad day, a slice of the simplest cake can do wonders. To be honest, I haven't had a basic yellow cake with chocolate frosting for a very long time, and for the past few weeks I … Continue reading The Most Basic of Cakes
Before we begin, let me just warn you that this entry may be a tad image heavy, despite the fact that by the time I got to photographing the cupcakes there were only two left... they were so cute, and the lighting was working so well for me that I got totally carried away! Anyhoo, … Continue reading Chocolate Cupcakes with Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting
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
My best-friend, Jess, is surprisingly quite fussy with her food. I assumed she was very much like me, where I am willing to eat almost anything (lol) but I've learned in the past few months that there's a lot of things I like, that she can't stand!

I found this recipe on tidymom a while ago, and it's been on a my to-do list ever since. I just never had the time to get it done, or to be honest, I just got distracted by other recipes. However, last week we had a farewell do for a friend and colleague, and knowing … Continue reading Lemon Burst Cake Mix Cookies
If I had to choose one pudding to be my mother's signature, it would probably be her fruit trifle. It's her favourite to eat, and also to make, and for as long as I can remember whenever we have dinner parties, there would be a trifle waiting in the fridge. Last Sunday, we had a … Continue reading Fruit Trifle
I came across a picture of a slice of strawberry cake while scrolling down my Tumblr feed last week, a basic vanilla cake with a layer of whip cream and fresh, plump looking strawberries in the middle. Made my mouth water, and I then proceeded to google strawberry cake. I can't believe I have never … Continue reading Strawberry Cake
