I’m a big believer that most things happen for a reason. Which is why, after a very disappointing and frustrating day of nothing going right, this package that I had purchased from Fusion Sweet...
So I am a little obsessed with limes. And when they get made into delicious things like… lime syrup cakes can you blame me? Now if you’re feeling like you’ve got a bit of deja vu, t...
So the bunny has been, the long weekend has ended and I still have easter eggs left on my kitchen table. I think there might be something wrong with me. I did get sick over easter, so perhaps the sic...
I’ve never been a morning person. I’m a chronic pusher of the snooze button. In fact, I have been known to sleep clear through my alarm. On several occasions. I frequently miss breakfast,...
I like to make ‘to do’ lists. I love the sense of achievement that you get when you can cross off an item. However, while I might be organised enough to make these lists, more often than ...
Delicious! This gelato is consistently creamy, fresh and full of flavour. I highly recommend it! I hit a few snags when making the crepes. I’m more of a pancakes kinda girl so I don’t thi...
I made my dough fine, thanks to the spiffy new Kitchenaid food processor even the royal icing was working fine and sliding walls necessitated impromptu scaffolding. Decorating supplies were gathered....
Dear Time, Why do you move so quickly? Only yesterday it was weeks until Christmas and today I wake up to find that there are only three more sleeps! Slow down loser. Love, Katie. marshmallowwwwsssss...
I had to go to an impromptu evening meeting where I needed to bring a plate of food. And I was really hungry. A cake was out because I wouldn’t be able to sneak a piece without anybody noticing...
2. Perhaps the more savoury, down to earth man would like some home made honey wholegrain mustard? 4. And the sci fi fan in your life might appreciate some of the above jam with a twist. A GRAVITY DE...
Sometimes I think that the following confession makes me quite un-Australian. But I cannot change the way I feel, I just really love Winter. Summer is nice and I like to go to the beach and spend tim...
I’m not afraid to say that i’m an ideas-woman. I have killer ideas. Ideas for TV shows, ideas for books, ideas for outfits, ideas for travel, mostly ideas for food. Perhaps I just have an...
For my birthday recently I was delighted to receive several cookbooks that I had been hankering after. As I have recently had to buy a new bookcase to store my ever increasing stash of cookbooks, I v...
Some vegetable oil, vanilla essence, honey and maple syrup mix in everything except for the coconut and fruit spread out on two drays and cook in the oven for 15 mins cool, and eat with milk or yoghu...
Because I totally heart Key Lime Pie. And biscuit crumbs. (see what I did there?) At the moment with the heat and general busy-ness that comes with the winding down of the year, I am feeling the eas...
First, the cake. Amazing creation bought from a bakery in Five Dock by my co workers. Not only does it look amazing and say my name, but inside it is cake and icecream! Hooray! Then there were some c...
When the mercury hits 30+ degrees (celsius, my European friends) you know that Summer is well and truly here. Despite the fact that technically, it is still Spring. So to celebrate the sunshine and t...
I would like to begin this post with a picture of the delicious crunchy bits that form on the top of some cakes. Enjoy. Now back to business. Sometimes during the course of a lesson we are lucky to ...
I don’t like change. I think I may have said that before on this blog but i’ll certainly say it again. Perhaps I should qualify that statement, I don’t like change that I can’...
While I absolutely love to bake and decorate cakes I am the first to admit that I am still only an amateur. Which is why i’m always surprised and alarmed when people ask me to cook something fo...
And so it has been said All good things must come to an end. For so many students this week marks is the end of high school and the beginning of the rest of their lives. While I finished high ...
What’s in the pot? Well… now that the weather has turned in time for Spring, do you really care what’s in the pot? Clearly it’s something that involves baking and we all know ...
So I have to start this post with a disclaimer: I don’t ever remember my grandma making cakes. My mum assures me that she did, and regales me with tales of amazing pavlovas made by whipping the...
So work has been super crazy and super stressful. Sometimes when the going gets tough, the tough get going…. to the fridge, where often tasty treats are lurking. Lets see, yoghurt, peanut butte...
Did you ever read this book when you were little? It’s fantastic because it tells it like it is. Some days are just terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days. You know the ones, where you wake...
Im the first to admit that I play it pretty safe. I figure that most rules are there to make life easier and keep me safe. I don’t like to cross the road against the lights, I don’t break...
Who could forget the fabulous month where Daring Bakers‘ introduced us to the joys of home made donuts? I certainly couldn’t! Which is why I found myself craving the yeasty golden goodnes...
Firstly, before you read any further , I want to wish you happy easter and offer you a cupcake HAPPY EASTER! Now, on to business. Ever since I was a little girl i’ve always been a fan of movies...
Who doesn’t love birthdays? My own love for these annual celebrations has been well documented, as has my fervent belief that all birthdays should be celebrated with cake. Preferably coloured p...
I’m an impulse shopper. I’m not addicted to shopping, I don’t think about it all the time, I don’t fantasize about buying pretty things (all that often…) but I do buy pl...
