Spiced Apple Cake
Our lives are full of choices and we are so lucky to have them. Whether it is the way we lead our lives or the food we eat, our options are abundant. When I was little, I knew the apple as a favourite fruit at home. As I grew older I learnt about a few different varieties and today we have apples that are nothing short of a marvel. An apple that is grown to suit our modern day, busy lifestyles. I had the pleasure of tasting the new Envy™ apple at the their launch recently and they were everything one could wish for in a fruit. Sweet with the perfect crunch and a tender flesh that remains white for a really long time. As a Mum to two young school going children this was a great find and as a huge lover of apples (I eat apples almost every single day) I wanted to experiment immediately. They tasted great but how would they respond to baking, is what I kept thinking. As it turned out, they held their texture and shape even after being baked which is exactly what you want when baking a cake like this one. I've been meaning to create apple roses and apple art on my cakes all along Autumn. Finally I got my chance when I got my hands on these gorgeous apples. The cake is … Read More

Layers of Hazelnut Cake with a delicious Baileys Original Irish Cream Buttercream, White Chocolate Glaze, topped with Baileys Truffles. A dream cake for Mother’s Day. I am a firm believer in hand made presents for my loved ones. A gift made with love is more meaningful than something purchased. When the occasion is Mother’s Day, the motivation to get into action is ten folds. Mum gives us the world while growing up. Isn’t it fair that we try and give back a little bit to the most special, most irreplaceable person in our life? A painting, handmade candles or a pretty cake. Mums adore these sentiments. If you ask me, baking a cake is one of the sweetest gestures because it shows that you have spent time in creating something. To make that cake unique this year, I’ve added something I know is loved by the entire world. Baileys Irish Cream. The Heavenly combination of hazelnuts in the cake layers and Baileys in the buttercream makes it a treat for the taste buds. And of course, it’s Mother’s Day so flowers are a must. Don’t you just love the idea of a cake as a vehicle for pretty flowers? Baileys liqueurs are a dream to work with. They blend well in frostings or … Read More
Caramel Cupcakes Aka Golden Cupcakes for Mother’s Day
Glittering, glowing and shiny things are a favourite around these parts. Yeah, if I had an option I would serve my roast chicken with gold dust and maybe some sprinkles. Hahaha! So much for my edible fantasies. On a serious note, what can be more precious than your Mum? So it is only fitting that I create golden cupcakes to celebrate her. These are nothing but caramel cupcakes with a delicious caramel frosting that are then decorated with golden sanding sugar and cachous. I am a big fan of wedding desserts with a golden theme but Mother's Day is no small occasion either. Caramel Cupcakes Makes 10-12 cupcakes 120 g unsalted butter, at room temperature 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 tsp vanilla 2 cups self raising flour 3/4 cup milk 1/4 caramel sauce (home made or store bought) (For home-made use this recipe minus the salt) Preheat oven to 180 degrees c (160 degrees c for fan forced ovens).

Add a third of the flour to the butter … Read More
Matcha Lime Tartlets
I have a bag of dessert tricks that come handy when I need a true dessert without having to spend a few hours in the kitchen. I do like mug cakes and crumbles and grilled fruit but I'm talking about desserts that would have heaps of flavour, look pretty and yet come together in minutes. My greatest go-to of all times for these treats is ganache. Dark, milk or white chocolate, there are various ways of playing around with them. Ganache is nothing but a mixture of cream and chocolate. By infusing the cream with different flavours, one can create a multitude of sweet treats. I've infused Matcha (green tea) with white chocolate in this case. Since white chocolate is really sweet, I've balanced the sweetness with a bit of lime juice. That it! Quick and easy. If you don't have access to matcha, skip it and you'll still have delicious lime white chocolate tartlets. The tart cases are store bought in this case. If you are up to making your own from scratch, go ahead by all means. I almost always have the pre-baked ones at home that I fill up with sweet or savoury fillings for my children's lunchboxes. For all those who are new to making dessert, these are great to serve up on … Read More
