A couple of weeks ago, I received a comment on eat sweet. by carla sue’s facebook page from the super dooper lovely Yvonne at Bitter Baker, notifying me that she had nominated me [...]
As I am a self-proclaimed lover of baking, sometimes I surprise myself with the seemingly everyday baking things that I have never made. Like gingerbread. Okay, and while we are [...]

Oh, I love writing these posts! Not only because I get really excited when I receive award, but even better than that, I love nominating some of my favourite blogs for the award too! I am so grateful to be recognised by my blogging peers, and it makes me smile because it reminds me that I … Continue reading »
I have fond memories of musk lollies. Well, I guess I have a lot of fond memories when it comes to food really…but they are stories we can save for another time! When I was younger, my Grandma would always have a container full of musk sticks in the highest cupboard in her kitchen, and I … Continue reading »
Before today, I had never made lamingtons. Does that make me un-Australian? Gosh, I hope not. So I figured that this weekend was a good a time as any to fix that, and have a go at making them for the first time… Happy Australia Day everyone! As suggested by my concern about being labelled as un-Australian … Continue reading »
I was super dooper lucky to find myself on Santa’s nice list for the last year, and was so excited when I woke up on Christmas morning to find that he had left me an icecream maker! I had been eyeing these off for quite some time, trying to decide which was the best one … Continue reading »
I love a good cup of tea! I may be holding one in one hand right now, while I type with the other… Okay, I am doing exactly that, and it’s getting a bit tricky and this going to take WAY too long… Better put the cup down I guess! I’m not one to try each and every type of tea … Continue reading »
I know it is still a couple of days away (although, it is a little too close for my liking) but….HAPPY NEW YEAR! I know we say it ALL the time, but I really can’t believe how quickly this year has flown by. But then again, this time last year seems ages ago, as so … Continue reading »
Merry Christmas! Well, it isn’t quite officially Christmas Day here in Australia yet, but our Christmas celebrations always begin the night before. Everything is wrapped, lots of baking has been done, the tree is looking all pretty with the star on top, and we are all enjoying each others company (this may be different after … Continue reading »
Happy Halloween! Well, Halloween isn’t massive in Australia like it may be in other parts of the world, but it is certainly catching on. Some people seem to be a bit funny about it because it is ‘so American’, but I think that if it’s a bit of fun, why not?! One year in primary school, my … Continue reading »
Award time! Oh, I love this time. And I really love the name of this award too! Kinda fitting for the name of my blog really. I have been super lucky and am so very grateful as I have been nominated for this award twice, by The Sugared Pecan and All You Do Is Eat! I love … Continue reading »
…to be jolly, fa la la la la la la la la! It’s December! Wow, I just cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by. Where has all the time gone?! Now that it is December, I feel like it is officially the Christmas season. Decorating the tree, listening to carols, wrapping presents and … Continue reading »
“I grew up on lollies, cakes and chocolate and never lost the taste for the sweeter things in life. My desserts are like flights of fancy – making them or eating them always takes me to a happy place” – Adriano Zumbo. Any Adrianzo Zumbo fans out there? Well, you can imagine my excitement when … Continue reading »

This week I decided I would pull something out of the archives, in anticipation for the summer fruits that are about to arrive! That has to be one of the best parts of summer (other than daylight savings and the warm weather)…strawberries, rockmelon, mangoes, grapes, apricots, cherries, and of course raspberries. And these fruits are such … Continue reading »
I’m baaaaaaaack! Sorry it has been a few weeks between recipes! Things have been a little crazy…I had three assignments due in the one weekend, so all of my time and effort went into these, and unfortunately I had zero time for baking. But! The good news is that now I have only ONE assignment … Continue reading »
Spring is here! Well the season is, but unfortunately the warmth that it usually brings hasn’t quite hit Tassie yet. Don’t get me wrong, we have had the occasional sunny day where I can be outside without a jacket on, but there has been quite a bit of snow on the mountain too! I love Spring…in … Continue reading »
Guess what?! I got an award! …This may have been what I squealed out to my Mum when I saw that I had received a comment telling me that I had been nominated for an award. Okay, this is exactly what I squealed. I get a little bit excited. I would like to say a … Continue reading »
Whoopie pies. Say it with me…’whoopie pies!’ I just love the sound of the name. When I first heard about them last year, I just HAD to find out what they were and how to make them. It was just perfect timing that this was the same week that the Donna Hay Kids Magazine was … Continue reading »
The end of August saw the end of my birthday cake duties for the year in my house (well, that is unless I want to make my own birthday cake!). I have had a heap of fun making cakes this year, and as they are something that I haven’t had a great deal of experience with (I … Continue reading »
I am starting to believe that this baking thing may be coming a little bit of an addiction! If I have a Saturday at home, it is HIGHLY unlikely for me to not spend the afternoon in the kitchen. But why not do something that I love? As I write, there are a batch of … Continue reading »
Today is the RSPCA’s Cupcake Day! For those of you who aren’t Aussies, The RSPCA is the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and each year they hold a Cupcake Day to raise awareness and funds to go towards helping the shelters, clinics, Inspectors and animals in Australia. Now, the RSPCA have … Continue reading »
If you looked through my cookbook collection, you would see that I am a bit of an Adriano Zumbo fan. I have been amazed with his creativity and craziness when it comes to pâtisserie treats ever since he walked into the Masterchef Australia kitchen with that croquembouche (oh how I hope to be brave enough to make … Continue reading »
This year I have somehow started a bit of a thing where I have assigned myself with the job as ‘Birthday Cake Maker’ in my family. Earlier on in the year I made my Dad the Kit Kat Cake based on the one by Made in Melissa’s Kitchen, and for Brother 2, I made a favourite … Continue reading »
My final (wuhoo!!) semester for uni has begun, which COULD mean that I have less time for baking, and I guess in a way this is kinda true. But as baking is something that I find relaxing and well, extremely enjoyable, I always find some time to squeeze in a chance to make something yummy. Okay, and … Continue reading »
This week has been my final week of freedom before semester two starts up for uni, so I have made sure that it has been a nice and relaxing one. In between shifts at work, I have been doing some of my favourite things…sewing, baking, watching tv shows and movies, and of course spending time … Continue reading »
It feels like ages since I have blogged, but really it has only been just over a week! I have been in Adelaide visiting friends, and you know how time can tend to go really slowly when you are away from your everyday normal life? It felt like I was away for ages! I had … Continue reading »
