We had quite a few punnets of strawberries left over and had guest coming round. I wasn’t sure what to make but thought of making mini baked vanilla cheesecake with a strawberry sauce topping. I have made a few cheesecakes in my time, I do find them to be a very indulgent and very…

Tiramisu cake the better one!
My first try of Tiramisu cake although looked appealing wasn’t the greatest. The cake was dry and not moist as I thought it was going to be. I really wanted to get this right as I love Tiramisu. I then tried the saviour of baking Mrs Berry’s good old Mary’s recipe. And my god what…
Espresso Macarons with Nutella (for the first time!)
So Macarons…not Macaroons(they’re the coconut ones!) Those colourful French miniature crisp and chewy little dainty delights that everyone goes crazy about. Scary right? Well scary for me!

Mixed Berry Creaminess
I wanted desserts that was light and fruity. These desserts used mixed berries sooo one of the five a day?! right?…well that’s my excuse anyway eventhough it’s full with double cream! eeek. This is really quick and easy to make and could be one of the last minute desserts, the only thing is…
