We're still in organisation mode around here after having a whole brand-spanking new kitchen put in, and I've been trying to find new and wonderful ways to store my cake stuff. One of my biggest peeves when baking has been scrabbling around trying to find the right attachment for my mixer. We actually have two mixers in the kitchen, my Kitchen Aid, and my Mum's Breville scraper mixer, which each came with a paddle, a dough hook and a whisk. The KA also came with a splash-guard, and I purchased a scraper paddle for it too. Until now we'd had them all stored in a bread bin, which had sat on my cake-bench in our old kitchen in ... continue reading...
Choc Caramel Cheat’scakes ~ Simple Chocolate Caramel Cheesecakes
Once upon a time, there was a girl who wanted to make some Lemon Cheat’scakes - the easiest lemon cheesecakes the world had ever seen. So she went to her kitchen and prepared to make them. But alas, she had no lemons. Nor, as it turns out, did she have any plain biscuits… or white chocolate... An so it seemed she was not destined to have Lemon Cheat’scakes. But wait! There in her pantry she had chocolate biscuits! And caramel sauce! And dark chocolate! And thus, Chocolate Caramel Cheat’scakes were born. Believe it or not, that person with the sadly lacking pantry I’m referring to isn’t me, it’s my friend Loralee. She is the queen of ... continue reading...
Lightly Salted Caramel Sauce
Remember a couple of months back when I told you I had found "The One"? If you missed it, I'm not talking about a person (if my "One" guy is out there, he's so well hidden he must be wearing camouflage) but rather I found the one lemon curd recipe for me. Which led me to realise there's another soulmate recipe that I haven't shared with you yet. The One Caramel Sauce. And I already had plans for a dessert recipe using it so I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and make them both so I could share them with you. So here it is! Lightly Salted Caramel Sauce. "Why is it a 'lightly salted' caramel recipe?" I hear you ask. (Or maybe ... continue reading...
Hand-Painted Cake Tutorial ~ Boho Inspired Cake
I'm going to make a little assumption here. You're probably reading this post because you fancy the thought of (or have been talked into) making a cake with a hand-painted design on it. And possibly you're thinking "Oh, ain't no way I can do that!". Well you know what, I reckon you can. Really. I have that faith in you. And also, I'm about to give you some Cake Painting for Dummies instructions on how to do it. Not that I think you're a dummy, because clearly you had the initiative to find a tutorial to help you on the road to a fabulously painted cake, and dummies wouldn't think of that. So instead of Cake Painting for Dummies, I'll call ... continue reading...
Lemon Cheat’scakes – Super Simple Lemon Cheesecakes
Ok, I have something to confess. It’s something I’m quite ashamed of, and I hope you don’t think any less of me. Here it is: I used to think cheesecake was gross. *and… breathe* I should add a disclaimer here, when I thought that, I had never actually tried cheesecake. The name was what made me think it must be terrible. Who would put cheese in a cake? Cheese! Then I tried it. Ohmagawd that was the end of my cheesecake hate. Now I’m all about that cheesecake (‘bout that cheesecake, no treble). The only downside of cheesecake is that it can be a pain to prepare. Baked cheesecakes can crack (and make you cry) or get ... continue reading...
