This cake stood at 13″ tall, that’s pretty hefty for it’s 8″ diameter even though it still wasn’t completely in proportion to perfectly match the 16oz can we were replicating. Any taller though and it would have been dying to teeter over during transportation. It was a little scary carrying this one about due to [...]

When thinking of Easter treats these were one of the first things that came to mind. Quick and simple they’re also the perfect treat to make with a child. Chocolate and cereal are mixed and placed in cupcake papers to form the nest, and they’re finished with some candy eggs. I tend to prefer Cadbury’s [...]

St Patrick’s Day is next week (17th) and time is running short to get your goodies for the celebrations. We’ve been experimenting and we’ve very happy to be able to offer these Irish Car Bomb cupcakes. Now, my idea of fun is not a drink that has to be downed before it curdles, no thank you [...]

We were asked to make a Guinness cake, in the shape of a wooden keg, it sounded like fun and let us try out new recipes to get it right! In the end we settled on the Nigella Lawson Guinness and chocolate cake, it was rich and flavourful, a definite winner! With the cream cheese [...]

It’s hotter than hell down here in Texas at the moment, making a devil’s food cake more than appropriate. Maybe I can bribe the heat with the cupcakes to go away and not return! Sadly I can’t claim this recipe as my own, I made no changes (excepting making cupcakes rather than one big cake [...]

Firefly has always been a favourite show of ours. Neither of us discovered it until it had sadly ended but it hooked us in and is a show we can happily re-watch (when we have that elusive thing known as free time). Apologies to anyone not familiar with the show Firefly, a lot of this [...]

We got a request for a peanut butter cup cake, it didn’t need to be huge, the shape and flavour were the important bits. We umm-ed and ahh-ed over trying to make a peanut butter flavoured cake but finally settled on a chocolate cake with a peanut butter flavoured icing. The cake had some mild [...]

Tiramisu comes from the Italian for “pick me up” and boy does it. This has to be one of my all time favourite desserts. If you’ve not had it before where have you been? The best way to explain (aside from saying go try some now!) is that it’s an Italian trifle.  I’ll go ahead [...]

It didn’t take me long to get round to a second attempt at fudge did it? I decided to start my adventures with “proper” fudge with a favourite flavour, chocolate.. with a few pecans added for good measure. Fudge comes under the category of crystallised  candy, the sugar has to be cooled and then beaten [...]
