Neapolitan Spring Cake
Spring is in the air! The days are warmer and longer. Though the nights are still pretty cold, the flora and fauna is an absolute reminder of the gorgeous season. In Sydney, spring is a riot of pinks and purples, especially where I live on the hills. I love driving around the neighborhood where the … Read More

Orange and Chocolate Bundt Cake
Guys, June was such a roller coaster of a month for me, On one hand I was trying to finish projects and embrace the end of financial year plus school holidays like a whizz (talk about balancing motherhood with work), on the other hand I had exciting news to share. I have been nominated for an AusMumpreneur award that celebrates Australian Mums in business. While I'm being evaluated in the Judges's category, I need YOUR votes for the People's Choice awards. When I started my blog in 2013, only a few months after I came to Australia little did I know that one day this would become my greatest happiness and my source of earning a living. With two sleeping toddlers and 9 pieces of luggage we came to this beautiful country to start a life from scratch. From a life of comfort to a new life filled with uncertainty and adventure. Prior to that I was heading an unit in a multinational bank where I had worked for 7 years. Needless to say, the initial years were tough, trying to adjust to a new lifestyle while balancing parenting with no help. Sugar et al. became my personal fight for survival, my medium of creative expression, my hope of financial independence. When my twins slept, I … Read More
Pistachio Cake with Rosewater Buttercream
Who else is not a big fan of winter? This year it has been especially cold in Sydney and the rains haven't made it any easier. I can't wait for Spring and it's abundant produce. Meanwhile, there are apples, oranges, pears, pomegranates and persimmons that I've already baked with (you may have seen them on Instagram) and now I'm turning back to my favourite cosy flavours. Pistachio and Rosewater. I have a few different cakes with the same combo already on the blog but seriously it's always so good and there is always another new version waiting to be created. This cake is an absolute celebration of pistachios. There is a lot of it in the cake, hence the natural green hue. Also it can be easily made into a gluten free version by substituting plain flour for gluten free flour. The buttercream is not essential but adds a nice, creamy and floral touch to the dense cake. My husband avoids the frosting so he scrapes it off but said that he still loved the cake just the way it was.

Eggless Pink KitKat Cake
I was going to share this cake two weeks ago, just before Mother's Day but my website was giving me a lot of trouble so I had to wait. Though I did make it with Mother's Day in mind, this cake would honestly be perfect for any kind of occasion. Birthdays, baby shower, valentine's day, you name it! The best part is that I used my moist, fluffy eggless vanilla cake recipe so it's even suited for people who do not like or avoid eggs for any reason. This is also probably the easiest way to decorate a cake and make it look impressive without piping work or fancy garnishes. If you can't find KitKat Ruby where you are, feel free to use any variety of Kikat chocolates. I hope you enjoy making this cake. Don't forget to tag me if you do. I love seeing your creations.

Mother's day is almost here and like every year I'm excited for this day. It's about the sweetest celebration possible in the universe and we see a lot of flowers and pink treats around, which makes me so happy! The launch of the Kitkat Ruby couldn't have come at a better time. Ever since Ruby chocolate was introduced by Callebaut, I've been meaning to get my hands on it. If you haven't heard about Ruby chocolate, it is the 4th type of chocolate after dark, milk and white. And it's absolutely beautiful with a berry like flavour. These cheesecakes are very easy to make. There is no baking involved, no use of gelatine and everything comes together in minutes. After that, just let them chill in the fridge while you take pride in being so organised.
