Double Choc Orange Cupcakes

There’s nothing I love more than the smell of summer. It may be the final day of winter here in Melbourne – but I have been waiting eagerly for the warmer season to be upon us (thanks to small teases of sunshine in the city) and wanted to express my excitement with a fruity twist […]

Chia, Banana & Walnut Loaf with Banana Cream

There’s always an excuse for cake. But one with chia seeds, banana and walnuts? Well gee, you could just eat it whole and call it a day. With great nutritional benefits, there’s nothing to feel guilty about when consuming this moist loaf. Combined with the natural sweetness from bananas, the team of flavours work wonderfully […]

Chocolate Lamington Cake Pops

Cake pops seem to be the new craze – and I can see why. A small, appropriate serving of cake (if you stop at one, that is) deliciously decorated with an array of colourful and creative ingredients. There’s nothing not to love about these tiny pops of cake. Lamington cake is one of my favourites, […]

Nutella Filled Vanilla Bean Cupcakes

  There’s nothing quite like the first bite into a spongy vanilla cupcake. Kids beg their parents for one when they pass their local bakery. Adults treat themselves to one, maybe two at a time at a high tea with friends. Girls celebrate their birthdays with them frosted and displayed beautifully on a multiple tiered […]

Superfood Cacao and Goji Berry Truffles

Ahh the winter blues, or should I say, the winter flu? There’s nothing worse than feeling ill on a chilly Melbourne Sunday, so it’s best to fill your body with nutrients and eat foods that help boost your immune system.  If you’re one of the lucky ones living in a sunny place, don’t worry – […]

Hot Nutella and Banana Crepes

It’s that time of year where everyone around you is embarking on a journey to Europe. My time was two years ago and one of my favourite memories was ordering Nutella Crepes after a very long night out in Mykonos in the local village. Walking on the white cobbled stones through the town full of […]

Raw Coffee and Cacao Nib Cheesecake

Sorry I haven’t been posting as frequently as usual; I have been quite busy working on an exciting new blog post for a website showing the calorie differences between my desserts and unhealthy desserts – and there is quite a significant difference –  stay tuned! Back to cheesecake – I mean, who doesn’t love cheesecake? […]

Guilt-free Nutella Pizza

OK, I know I always say this but seriously, everyone needs to get out their blender and make this Nutella NOW! I have tried countless recipes from numerous sources for a clean Nutella and always find myself disappointed. I’ve also experimented with my own Nutella recipes and they’ve also been unsuccessful, but this… THIS is […]

Banana and Chocolate Blondies

YUM, these are so good! This recipe was actually substituted from my Mother’s chocolate and banana muffins recipe (containing lots of sugar/butter) and I switched the original ingredients with healthier options such as coconut oil and rice malt syrup. To be honest, these taste just as good if not better – especially knowing they’re guilt […]

Cherry Ripe Fudge Bars

Mmm Cherry Ripe – the perfect winter chocolate. I’ve been suggested to create this a few times and finally decided to give it a go. As I have mentioned previously (and in my About Me), I have quite an unhealthy obsession with chocolate.  Cherry Ripe is one of those bars that when you begin with […]
