Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting

October 8, 2014

Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the beauty that is peanut butter frosting? Buttercream frosting is already one of the most wonderful creations to grace this earth but when you add PB it becomes all kinds of delicious. SERIOUSLY. Now that I’m done gushing over peanut butter (LOL jokes, I’m never done gushing over this stuff), let’s talk cake. I know I’ve started saying Read Post

Hazelnut Chocolate Mille Feuille

October 1, 2014

Hazelnut Chocolate Mille Feuille

This morning I finished the last of my exams (for a few months at least) so I’ve basically spent the afternoon scoffing these to commiserate myself for how badly they went celebrate them being over! Mille feuille are always my pick from a patisserie, despite them being notoriously unattractive to eat so this week’s GBBO theme didn’t have me scratching my head too much. This recipe Read Post

Banana Cinnamon Breakfast Smoothie

September 27, 2014

Banana Cinnamon Breakfast Smoothie

Yep, it’s that time of year where I put cinnamon in absolutely EVERYTHING. It’s amazing how one ingredient can change this from being a fresh summery smoothie to an autumn breakfast perfect for chilly mornings. Smoothies are fast becoming my go-to breakfast. If you’ve got a blender they’re so simple to whip together and the frozen banana almost makes it taste like a milkshake which frankly is Read Post

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

September 24, 2014

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

I’m not going to lie, as a baking novice I just about had a panic attack when I saw that this week’s GBBO theme was ‘advanced dough’! Once I pulled myself together though, I realised that this was the perfect opportunity to try out something I’ve been meaning to make for far too long. I’m not really sure what constitutes advanced dough for Paul and Read Post

Cocoa Peanut Butter Energy Bites

September 20, 2014

Cocoa Peanut Butter Energy Bites

Today I’m sharing a bit of a healthier snack for you. These little energy bites are packed full of good stuff and are great for satisfying a sweet tooth without putting you into a sugar coma (something that’s becoming a little too regular an occurence lately!). The dates make these beautifully fudgy and sweet, exactly how I like my healthy snacks 😉 I’ve kept it quite light Read Post

Pecan Pinwheels with Cinnamon Glaze

September 17, 2014

Pecan Pinwheels with Cinnamon Glaze

This week I took on the feat of making danish pastry from scratch and, well, it didn’t go so great. Had I realised beforehand just how time consuming and complicated this particular type of pastry is I probably would have saved it for another time, but once I’d got my mind set on these pecan pinwheels there was no going back! Now don’t get me Read Post

Rocket & Basil Pesto

September 14, 2014

Rocket & Basil Pesto

With all the Great Blogger Bake Off fun that’s been going on here lately you’d be forgiven for thinking that I spend my life eating cakes and pastries, but believe it or not I’m just as big a fan of savoury cooking too. This rocket and basil pesto has been a kitchen staple recently – it’s so quick and easy to put together and can Read Post

Sacher Torte

September 10, 2014

Sacher Torte

I have to be honest, when I saw that this week’s theme was ‘European Cakes’ I did have a bit of a mind blank. I mean, I’ve eaten plenty of cake whilst in European countries, but I couldn’t think of anything that was actually of distinct European origin. So, I took to Google, where this Austrian delight caught my eye above all the other European Read Post

Rhubarb & Ginger Hand Pies

September 3, 2014

Rhubarb & Ginger Hand Pies

I have to admit, I was a little nervous when I saw that this weeks GBBO theme was pastry, but after deciding just to go for shop bought pastry (Paul Hollywood would be horrified) I got rather excited about it. I settled on rhubarb and ginger hand pies within minutes. My gran is pretty much the queen of rhubarb crumble and it’s almost always the highlight Read Post

Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce

August 25, 2014

Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce

Salted caramel seems to be everywhere you look these days, and I’m certainly not complaining about it! If you’re into the ever-so-slightly muted sweetness which means you can handle a second dessert, this homemade salted caramel sauce is for you! You’re going to love how simple this is, too! (Err, that’s if you’re the kind of person who gets excited about salted caramel recipes which, Read Post
