After Eight Chocolate Box
Christmas season is in full swing, and after seeing Gingerbread houses, it inspired me. I thought, would it be possible to make a chocolate box from After Eights?. I’m not sure how gingerbread houses and a chocolate box have any connection!? but this is how my brain works! I had my doubts if…
Almond & Cherry Traybake
This rich almond and juicy cherries work really well in a cake, it’s a bit like frangipane. I really love cherries, especially in the classic Black forest. But cherries and almonds are also an amazing combo. I do like Cherrie Bakewells BUT my main issue is almond extract, I just find the taste…

Ferrero roche stuffed cupcakes
Those who know me know that Ferrero roche are one of my fav chocolate. The fact they have Nutella in the center makes it even more amazing!. And I just love the hazelnuts, you can’t go wrong with chocolate and nut combo. I haven’t made cupcakes in a while and fancied something chocolatey….
