Browsing through the King Arthur Flour catalogue I saw their rabbit cookie cutters. it got Michael and I talking and we came up with covering the rabbit cookie in chocolate so it looked like the chocolate rabbits you can buy (specifically the Lindt ones with the ribbons round their necks). I had just had a [...]

Valentines Day is only 3 weeks away, time to start considering what goodies you want to spoil your sweetie with. Chocolate is synonymous with Valentines so of course these are a chocolate sugar cookie base. Pastel pink royal icing forms the base of the decoration and I decided to try a light brown icing for [...]

I’ll be honest, I am very unfamiliar with Girl Scout cookies. My colleagues at work go crazy over them (particularly the Thin Mints) when it’s that time of year again. I am also incredibly unfamiliar with bundt cakes, my only introduction to them prior to moving to the states was in the film, My Big [...]

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.

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 [...]
