You know when you make a rough edge ganache drip cake, and then you kind of show it off, and then you forget about it for a while, and you're not sure why you forgot about it because you really liked it, and then you start to think "why on Earth did I not put this on my website?!" so then you do? Well maybe you might not know that feeling, or do that sort of thing, but that's what I did in the case of this rough edge drip cake that I made a few months ago. I shot a little video of how I made it and posted it on my Facebook page and Instagram, but for some reason, I didn't post it on here. Perhaps it's because I only did the ... continue reading...
Kitchen Renovation (and My New Cake Pantry!)
Hey you! Yes, you there. Do you like looking in other people's houses? I don't mean peering in their windows (if you do that, you might wanna get some help), I mean either being invited into their home to see what they've done with the place, or checking out pictures of homes in fancy magazines, or on the interwebs. If that does interest you, then there is a distinct possibility you may enjoy this post. I won't say that it's quite up to the fancy magazine status, but since I can't invite you all around to our house to see our new kitchen renovation, I thought this might be an ok compromise... While I say "new", the kitchen was ... continue reading...
Floral and Watercolour Bunny Cake Tutorial
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 bunny cake tutorial, so you decide to “squeeze in” making it and writing the 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 ... 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...
