These are not quite the perfect look that I was after but they have gone down so well with the kids. It was definitely time to put the Baker perfection in me aside - we had such great fun assembling these cookies that I decided to show them ...
Lime Charlotte Cake
I only made the cake in the recipe - There is a section for some filling containing condensed milk and limes. We had so much cake going on in the kitchen though that I just couldn't justify so much sweetness. So I opted for whipped double ...
Ultimate Chocolate Birthday Cake with White Chocolate Frosting
A rich chocolate cake with melted dark chocolate (use milk chocolate if you like - totally not precious here!) I split the mixture into 2 cake tins and then sliced them in half making a 4 tier cake. Filled in with plenty of white chocolate ...
Coconut and Almond Macaroons
I feel a little bit sorry for Macaroons at the moment - They seem to have been overlooked by the ever so pretty Macaron, which are so much more involved to prepare. Macaroons are coconutty, light and quick to make. I like an added flavour ...

Its only been recently that I've discovered how versatile and easy to make Baklava is. For some reason the thought of that honey syrup and fill pastry made me think it would all go terribly wrong. Whenever I see any form of Baklava I have ...
First Communion Cake
I'm so delighted with this First Holy Communion Cake - Yes, it has flaws, the perfectionist in me is trying not to point them out but its pretty amazing that it got made in the first place. It would have been much easier to tell Violet that ...
Cherry Bakewell Tart
Wow! Isn't the sun incredible today? Or at least I hope it is where you are too. Its not often that the camera shouts that the subject is too bright! This is no ordinary dry Bakewell Tart - It contains a whole jar of black cherries that ...
Thyme Mini Crackers
Ah my love for anything miniature is making a re-appearance this week. How cute are these mini crackers? Perfect for popping in your mouth whole. Once again they are super easy to make - I'm going to be experimenting with different flavours ...
Baileys Chococcino Cheesecake Cake
It's been Nanna Val's birthday this weekend - A pretty significant 65 on the 1st May. Now Nanna Val is rather partial to a tipple of Baileys - She rarely drinks it neat but a cup of coffee just isn't the same without some. In honour of the ...
Glazed Maple Oat Pecan Scones
I cannot believe its my 3rd instalment of the Secret Recipe Club - These months are flying past. My partner for this month was Baking and Creating with Avril - This is just me sort of blog. I had a multitude of recipes that I could have ...
