For me, cheesecakes are a summer obsession but these mini desserts have been autumn’d up with a spicy ginger base and super indulgent pumpkin spice filling.
Chocolate and Blackberry Fudge Cake
I feel like I’m on a constant mission to perfect the ultimate, fudgiest chocolate cake - and I don’t mind how many chocolate recipes I have to test and taste before I get there (I’m dedicated like that)...
Cinnamon Swirl Cupcakes
If, like me, you’re obsessed with cinnamon buns; then these are the cupcakes for you! They have been a firm favourite of mine for a few years now and I’m really excited to finally share them on my blog...
Pecan Pie Bars with Maple Meringue
In my opinion, as far as pies go, pecan pie is at the top of the leader board - top of the pie charts you might say (sorrynotsorry). And, as a fellow pecan pie lover, I could never make a batch without saving a slice (or two) for my sister!
Oat and Maple Cookie Sandwiches
If you’ve already taken a peek at some my other posts, then you might have guessed that I’m a huge fan of the cookie-wich. It might be that just I’m greedy, but I love the idea of two chewy cookies sandwiched between a soft buttercream or even ice cream!
Honey Sesame Blondies
The famous fudge brownie often overshadows blonde relative; but I was surprised to learn that they actually predate chocolate brownies - making them the older, and much wiser dessert!
Chewy Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Cookies
I’ve spent so long trying to achieve that perfect combination of crisp on the edges but soft and gooey in middle - and, most importantly, big enough to eclipse the sun. After all, if a cookie isn’t bigger than your face, then is it really a cookie?
Double Chocolate Oreo Fudge
I kinda love how Oreo’s have evolved from a simple, albeit tasty, cookie sandwich, to a delicious vehicle for so many wonderfully creative baked goods...
Amaretto Soaked Raspberry and Frangipane Tart
The thought of making pastry used to spark the fear within me. It always overwhelmed me and for a long time, I avoided it in my baking.
Blueberry Mumbles
My favourite thing about these muffins is that make it totally acceptable to eat cake at breakfast - with plenty of fruit and oats, who could ever judge?
Raspberry and White Chocolate Friands
Like many delicious sweet treats, these little teacakes originate from France - where they are known as Financiers. More recently, they have also become popular in Australia and New Zealand - who have adopted them and made them their own - they call them Friands.
Lavender Shortbread (Two Ways)
I love buttery, crumbly, sugary shortbread so much - it seems to be one of those simple treats that I crave so often and, when I do, this recipe is my go to.
S'mores Tart
I remember first being introduced to S’mores on holiday in the US. It was Christmas and we sat around an open fire, toasting marshmallows and sandwiching them between Graham crackers and thick slabs of Hershey’s chocolate - heaven.
Peanut Butter and Banocolate Cupcakes
I always seem to have at least two over ripe bananas that have outstayed their welcome in my fruit bowl. They usually end up in a super quick mid-week banana bread but more so than often they end up getting frozen for special bakes - like these peanut butter and banana-chocolate (banocoloate) cupcakes.
Chocolate Porter Fudge cake
Porter and chocolate go hand in hand, and the coffee ads an extra level of richness to this cake - making it a really indulgent Bruce Bogtrotter-esque cake...
Mini Berry Pavlovas
In my first post on this blog (a whole three months ago), I wrote about one of my mum’s staple desserts, tiramisu. Well, the best part of her tiramisu is that it always left plenty of egg whites ready to be whipped up into crisp-on-the-outside-chewy-on-the-inside-meringues...
Maple-Caramel and Pecan Cheesecake
This no-bake cheesecake couldn’t be easier to make - the only struggle is waiting for it to set before digging in...
Red Velvet Cookies
These soft, chewy cookies are perfect just as they are - even better when dunked in glass of cold milk but, be warned, they are dangerously easy to consume in large quantities...
Carrot and Cream Cheese Teacakes
These little teacakes are so light - they are perfect for scoffing alongside lots of other sweet treats and sandwiches.
Peanut Butter and ‘Jelly’ Sandwiches
I don’t think there’s any danger of me ever being too ‘grown up’ for Peanut Butter & Jelly - there is something which always brings me back to this classic flavour combination...
