Ah, summer fruits, how I have missed you so. Although I am very aware that I am not in the presence of the sunny season in Melbourne just yet, I wanted to create something fruity and delicious to serve after a hearty BBQ or a treat to enjoy while laying in the sun. These Strawberry & Vanilla Slices have a moist, spongy texture enhanced by the smooth strawberry cream. Sweetened by my favourite ingredient, rice…

I made this gorgeous Chocolate & Blueberry Love Cake for my best friend’s 23rd birthday. As we are both entering the second week of the Kayla Itsines challenge (which we are both absolutely loving and highly recommend) I thought it was only suitable to bake something special for the occasion without breaking our healthy diet. This cake is moist, sweet and full of chocolaty goodness. I also made this batter…

Oh goodness. Life has unfortunately taken over these past few weeks so I apologise for my lack of yummy recipes, however my newest creation will make up for it! There’s really no better team than chocolate & peanut butter. One of my favourite all time recipes is Chocolate & Peanut Butter Bars (in the ‘Recipes’ page) so to combine lush chocolate mousse over a delicious peanut butter base is quite…

These images were quite a struggle to take. Firstly, I made 2 batches of these mint chocolate cookie dough balls and they disappeared in record time before I had a chance to style them beautifully for the blog. Once my sister and my friend and I got our hands on these, it was safe to say we weren’t going to stop until not even one was left visible on the…
Read More...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 to a delicious little treat. These gorgeous cupcakes not only provide a double chocolate hit,…

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 together with crunchy chia seeds mixed through the batter for the ideal ‘banana bread’ substitution….

There’s nothing more delicious than taking the first bite into a warm, sugar-coated jam donut. As your teeth bite into the soft centre, your tongue is delighted with a sweet, berry taste and suddenly the donut becomes a whole lot better. I mean really, who doesn’t love donuts?! So many of my childhood memories are eating mini cinnamon donuts at Donut King; although I have barely touched them through my…

I know it’s a little early to get excited – but it is starting to feel like Spring is amongst us in Melbourne and I wanted to celebrate this much anticipated weather by creating something fruity and colourful. Unfortunately the sunnier season is still a month away, but this lovely creation will make you feel as though a tiny piece of summer has returned. These gorgeous blueberry tarts are vibrant,…

Earlier this year, my best friend made me a gorgeous cookie cake for my birthday that read ‘Happy Birthay.’ Spelling mistake aside (sorry Re), this was a thoughtful and delicious way to make my day extra special and I decided to recreate the cake in a clean version, of course. This recipe is exactly the same as my Clean Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookies recipe only with a different…

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 platter. The occasions for cupcakes are endless… but what if the centre of each vanilla…

Recently I have been reminiscing quite a lot about high tea (totally normal for me to be dreaming about food) as I have visited the Langham High Tea twice in my 23 years of life and successfully consumed as much dessert into my belly as physically possible. Last year, my best friend and I surprised my other two best girlfriends with an unlimited high tea, and one of my favourite…
Read More...Similarly to my previous post a few weeks back; the abundance of Europe photos posted by my friends on numerous social media channels has sparked my most recent creation of Salted Peanut Butter Fudge. In Barcelona (here we go…) one of my favourite attractions was the darling fruit market La Boqueria. Each day, my best friend and I would relax on the beach at Port Olympic and grab a few…
