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 … Read More

However, I never anticiapted the amount of work, attention and time I would have to give to this hyper active baby of mine. He … Read More
Mango and Coconut Mousse Bars
It's not summer until you get to enjoy mangoes. In Australia, the first mangoes appear as early as Spring. Though I woudn't say that they are at their best, it's impossible to resist the aroma as you pass through the aisles at your greengrocer or supermarket. Mangoes pair beautifully with coconut. Together they are a burst of the tropics in your mouth. This a deceptively simple dessert to make, with absolutely no baking invoved. I have used sillcon rectangular molds. You could use round or square molds and even make them in serving glasses. Mango Coconut Mousse Bars Makes 4 bars For the base 7-8 digestive biscuits2 tbsp coconut oil, meltedFor the mango and coconut filling3 tsp powdered gelatine150 ml thin (pouring) cream120 ml Coconut cream40 g caster (superfine) sugar3 tbsp mango purée Mango jelly 3/4 cup mango purée1/2 tsp powdered gelatine Place the biscuits in a food processor and pulse to form fine crumbs.

Grapefruit and Orange Tart
Do you like the taste of grapefruit? To be honest, I don't enjoy having it on its own, however, the refreshing citrus flavour with a slightly bitter aftertaste is so perfect in a dessert. This absoloutely divine tasting Grapefruit and Orange tart has a few different elements to it but it is definitely not difficult to make. All of them can be made ahead of time and assembled at the time of serving. This Grapefruit and Orange Tart has a lovely shortcrust pastry base, a grapefruit custard filling, a layer of orange curd, a white chocolate decoration that complements the citrus duo beautifully and some vanilla chantilly cream to balance the sweetness. It is sure to impress your guests both by it's apperance and by taste. If you didn't want to make all the layers, you could easily leave out the orange curd or white chocolate spiral and it would still be fanatstic. Want to see more Orange desserts?

Orange KitKat Brownie Cakes
I've always had a thing for Kitkat chocolates. Not only do I love eating them, I find them the perfect decorations for pastries and cakes. You might have come across them before in my posts and if you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed a few creations in the past using them in various desserts. I noticed this orange flavoured ones and I loved the two toned effect on the top. I just knew I wanted to make Orange KitKat brownie cakes with them. In related news, have you seen the recent reels I have created? This is one of them. So if you're keen on watching a snippet of how the brownie is decorated, go check out my Instagram reels. Unfortuantely, it only allows me a max of 30 seconds so I am unable to show the creations from scratch but hopefully it will be upgarded to the 1 min duration like it has for a few craetors. The brownie cakes are soft and delicious. They don't have a cracked top as I use this recipe for a cake like texture. But nonetheless they are AMAZING to taste.

Lemon Poppyseed and Blueberry Cake
If I ever need to bake a cake that is striking in apperance yet always delicious and simple, I would opt for a blueberry cake. Where else will you find a colour so gorgeous and naturally subtle or strong depending on how you use it? Eye catching shades of mauve and purple without a drop of food colour. And bonus, the sweetest, quickest berry available to most people. No need to hull, no seeds, just pop hem into your mouth or top your favourite desserts with them for that show stopper look. This cake is pretty easy to make except that there is a different set of challenge with intricate bundt cakes that you need to be mindful of. I've learnt it the hard way and had a my fair share of destroyed bundts. So please grease your pan enough so as to cover every edge and corner and turn of the design. I normally don't flour the pan, sometimes I may use a coating of icing sugar if I'm concerned about the texture of the batter. If you know your pan well, feel free to go ahead and follow a technique that works for you. I hope you enjoy making and sharing this cake with your loved ones.
