I’m almost embarrassed to tell you how long I’ve been meaning to share this caramel mud cake recipe with you for. I’m not sure if I can even say it. Perhaps we’ll just say that it has been quite some time. There’s actually a bit of a story behind this recipe, but if you’re in a hurry to get to the recipe, then feel free to just scroll right on down. I can’t blame you at all for being desperate for caramel cake right now. I mean, look at it... For the rest of you who enjoy a bit of cake recipe history… Once upon a time (a very long time ago) I was visiting my friend Loralee and we were sitting quietly on the couch ignoring each ... continue reading...

Easy Milk Chocolate Mousse Easter Eggs
These easy milk chocolate mousse Easter eggs might just be my favourite Easter dessert. Like ever. If you've spent much time on this blog, or on my Facebook page, you'll know what an unashamed fan I am of my chocolate mousse recipe. It's the most viewed recipe on Sweetness and Bite, and it's easy to see why - it uses only three ingredients, requires no eggs, and is super easy to put together. I've done a white chocolate version, and a Caramilk chocolate version but up until now I hadn't got around to trying it with milk chocolate. Easter seems the perfect time to do that though, right? And what could make it more suited to ... continue reading...
Gluten Free Flour Blend for Baking
My all-time favourite gluten free flour blend for baking. There are a few things that can feel overwhelming when you first start baking without gluten, but I think we can probably all agree that the most overwhelming is "what kind of flour do I use?!" There are many pre-made gluten free flour blends on the market, and a quick Google search will provide you will a shit-tonne lot of recipes for making your own blend. When I first started baking with gluten free flour I tried every boxed mix that was available in our supermarket and was soon disheartened with the crumbly, dry results - was there no way to ... continue reading...
Rough Edge Ganache Drip Cake Tutorial
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 ... 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...
