Chocolate and Rhubarb Tartlets
Aren't we really lucky that we have rhubarb all year round in Australia? It is one of my favourite things to add to desserts. Not only does it complement both dark and white chocolate equally well, like in these rhubarb tartlets, it adds a punch to any cake or crumble. Rhubarb compote is the best … Read More

Eggless Strawberry Cake with Rosewater
Valentine's day is around the corner so I got myself a heart shaped pan, something I have had in mind for years. I had a few recipes in mind that I wanted to give a go, with and without chocolate. This eggless strawberry cake with rosewater is super easy to make. The texture and taste are divine. The cherrry on the cake though is that it requires no eggs or involves no softening of butter. One can add any berry, nut or flavouring and it always turns out superb. This is my base recipe to a lot of cakes. For the frosting, you could go with simple vanilla or use rose again. Or you could use cardamom which is absolutely magical too. The cream cheese frosting is what makes the cake so irresistible.

Nutella Sandwich Cookies
I made and shot these cookies way back in October when I bought a few cookie stamps but never got to post the recipe. What can be a better time to share cookies than the official cookie season of the year? The recipe is pretty simple and as you can see the beauty is in the stamp design. However these can be made plain without the designs and simply rolling out and cutting them in different shapes using cookie cutters. Cookie stamps can be found on Ebay, Amazon and almost all cake decorations stores.We can never go wrong with Nutella, can we?

Mini Gingerbread Bundt Cakes with Marzipan Pears
I'm finally getting into the Christmas spirit. The last few weeks have been an absolute blur of activities since we got a new puppy. He is adorable and a little ball of joy. However, I never anticiapted the amount of work, attention and time I would have to give to this hyper active baby of mine. He actually makes me feel old since I struggle to keep up with him. To tell you the truth, managing twins wasn't as hard as managing our baby Biscoff. I know, everyone remembers his name. The vet. doggie care, strangers...he is my dessert puppy:-) Speaking of dessert, spices are the hero of the season. I have plenty of gingerbread recipes on my blog already so I thought I'll create something that looks slightly different but is easy to make. Back in the day when I used to run high teas for my cafe restaurant, I worked with marzipan a lot to create sensational edible toppings. I'm not a big fan of the taste but it it such a versatile item. I like it much better than fondant. With or without the pear decorations, the cakes are amazing. Golden syrup is indeed a beautiful ingredient. It adds a caramel-ish flavour to the cakes that goes so well with the spice. I coloured the pears red … Read More
