I rarely eat After Eights, but when I do it always reminds me of my childhood. Those black wrappers were so posh when I was younger and I always felt like a grown-up when I was offered them lol. Oh what to be young again! To be honest, I’m more of a chocolate…

Brigadeiros
For those of you who don’t know these are a known are a Brazilian “truffle” but I think they are more similar to fudge then a truffle. I first seen these little bad boys was so many years ago that I actually can’t remember it’s been that long! Well it’s about time I…
Lotus millionaire traybake
I have been waiting to make these little bad boys for quite some time now. I really love anything Lotus. I actually didn’t follow the recipe fully as I made some Lotus cheesecakes for a family lunch and let’s say I didn’t read the recipe properly and I only needed half the recipe,…
Chocolate hazelnut praline caramel tart
Praline is such a delicious flavour. When I was younger, I always thought that praline was very exclusive and would be only used in very expensive pastry shops. The ones where you see all these small miniatures in the window and drool over them, then have a heart attack over the price. It…
Gluten free eggless lemon and almond cake
I have been experimenting with GF recipes recently as my Uncle can’t eat gluten. Generally I find GF recipes really tricky to make, they generally have such a weird texture and a horrible flavour unless you use ground almonds. This cake was beautiful though, with the lovely sharp lemon, it had a fluffy…
Gluten free chocolate raspberry cheesecake
So I know most people are used to ‘White chocolate raspberry cheesecake’ butttt I and other members of my family don’t like white chocolate so I thought why not switch the white chocolate to dark chocolate. The combination of dark chocolate with raspberry works so well. The tartness of the raspberries cuts through…
Crisps, chocolate and peanut tart
You know when you have one of those day, when all you want to do is chill out. It’s not that often for me, I prefer to get out and about at the weekends compared to staying at home. However, this happened to be one of them days. I was at my parent’s…
Cherry Bakewell Cheesecake
This cheesecake is one of those bad boys you would only bake for a special occasion and that is exactly what I did. This was for the most special person in my life, my daddy and his favourite dessert is cheesecake. I wanted to go all out and do something on the more…
Pogácsa
Pogácsa (po-gah-tcha), Hungarian for “biscuit’. I wanted to try something new from ‘the book of buns’ which I’ve used previously to make Tootmanik. I love this book, it has the most amazing bread recipes from around the world. So instead of being boring it makes you explore the world of bread/bun recipes. After…
Pistachio Cake
Not only do I love the taste of pistachios, I love the vibrant green colour as well. They really are such a unique nut, which other nut has a green colour? 🤔. This cake was pretty simple and easy to make the only thing that took long was to un shell the pistachios!…
