Mini Pancake Cupcakes
Pancake Day has to be one of my favourite seasonal food days! Though it usually turns into pancake week as I love to try out different pancake toppings! I usually opt for some yummy Nutella, chopped strawberries and a sprinkling of toasted, chopped hazelnuts or the classic lemon and sugar. Today, however, I melted some […]
Banana and apple streusel loaf cake
Do you ever find that you purchase fruit and various baking ingredients and end up with the odd apple lurking in the fridge and a banana that gets so over ripe that you simply cannot eat it any more? An open bag of pecans with only a small amount in the bottom and an almost […]
Salted Caramel & Rolo Chocolate Brownies
Do you love anyone enough to give them the last slice of this Rolo brownie?

One of my most recent faves is chocolate orange […]

Chocolate Christmas pudding pops
Whenever I make my cake creations, I tend to be left with off cuts after levelling my cakes before I fill, buttercream and ice them! These are great to enjoy as a lil left over bakers treat sandwiched with a little jam and buttercream or even served with custard to make a warming winter dessert […]

Dessert week saw the bakers return to the tent to create an array of delights ranging from a roulade for the Signature round where they had to create the perfect swirl when it was rolled.
