This post contains affiliate links. You know when you’re going away, and a few days before you go, you have an idea for an Easter cake, so you decide to “squeeze in” making it and writing a tutorial before you leave, instead of relaxing and saving your energy for the driving, and the people-ing, and all those things you don’t have energy for? And then you have to try and put the tutorial together and edit photos and videos and whatnot while trying not to be a rude guest at your friends' houses? No? You don’t do things like that? Then you, my friend, are wiser than me. Coz that is exactly what I just did, with this cute bunny cake ... continue reading...
Ultimate Guide to Sugar Syrup for Cakes
If you're a regular reader you may recall that a while back I wrote a short post with 5 tips to help keep your cakes moist. It was never really intended to be an important post on the blog, it was more of a quick filler post between a couple of bigger tutorial posts I was working on. But it turned out to be really popular - people clearly want to know how to avoid a dry cake. And who can blame them? Despite my dislike of the “m” word, I too enjoy a nice moist cake. After all, I like my humour dry and my cakes moist. One of the tips I gave in that post was to use a simple syrup on your cake layers, and quite a few people asked me to ... continue reading...
Easy Caramilk Mousse
You know how sometimes you remember foods from your childhood and when you eat them again as an adult you wonder why you ever liked them? Well for me, Caramilk chocolate doesn't fall into that disappointing category of childhood nostalgia. It's still as good now as it ever was. I remember trying to describe this chocolate to my mother a few years ago, I knew it was made by Cadbury, and I knew it had "Cara" in the name, but I couldn't remember exactly what it was called. All I really remembered was that it was a caramel-ly flavoured white chocolate and I had enjoyed it and they hadn't made it for years. Mum didn't remember it at all ... continue reading...
White Chocolate and Strawberry Mousse
Apparently, it’s Valentine’s Day coming up, or so the entire internet is telling me. Whether you have a special someone to spend Valentine’s Day with or you'll be spending the day with your friends (or with your cat... like me 🙄) and you want to make a special dessert but also don’t want to use up a lot of energy, then boy oh boy (or girl oh girl) do I have the recipe for you! I was thinking of calling this "White Chocolate Mousse with Vanilla Macerated Strawberries", but frankly that fancy name belies the simplicity of the recipe. All we’re doing is making some ridiculously easy mousse, chopping up some strawberries, mixing them with a ... continue reading...
Easy Three Ingredient White Chocolate Mousse
If writing a blog has taught me anything over the past few years, it's that I know nothing about writing a blog. I've written posts that I thought would be really popular, that turned out not to be. And I've written quick little posts that I figured no one would read, that people went crazy about (especially the one that contained my least favourite word.) So way back when I posted a recipe for super easy 3 ingredient chocolate mousse, I really had no idea if anyone would even make it, let alone like it. I mean, I hoped they would. I hoped that people out there would get as excited as I did about the thought of having ridiculously ... continue reading...
