Festive jellies for a very Merry Christmas!

I can’t believe tomorrow is Christmas Day!  If anyone is looking for something simple to serve to family and friends over the next few days then I’d highly recommend you give these Prosecco, elderflower and berry jellies a try. I made a trial batch of these festive jellies by Jamie Oliver last week and they […]

Buttermilk-glazed mini fig and pecan cakes

Today is the 20th of the month.  Not only does this mean it’s only five days left until Christmas, but it also marks the start of my week long holiday down the coast with my family.  A week relaxing by the beach and spending time with those I hold dear to my heart…  Perfection! Speaking […]

Chocolate cloud cake

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Don’t you agree? I first came across a picture of a Chocolate cloud cake years ago and fell instantly in love with its heavenly looks.
