Carrot Cake
It is not the first time I am baking a carrot cake but it is definitely the first time I am really happy with the way it tastes and looks. This is by far my daughters favourite cake. Every time there is a celebration – birthday, Easter, Christmas etc. – my girls ask for this cake and I can’t blame them really. The flavour brought by the carrots combine with walnuts and the cream cheese cream is just sublime! I can say that this will be our family cake. I made this for Easter so its quite a while since then – you will have to forgive…

Girly Cake Pops
You are right. It was about time for me to post another recipe wasn’t it? I actually made these cake pops quite a while ago for my eldest birthday but never actually wrote about them. They were made before the Halloween Cakes Pops which I wrote about here actually a few months. Now I comeback with pictures with these pretty ones. The method I used is essentially the same but I made them more colourful and more fit for a girly party. Ingredients for sponge cake 120g unsalted butter, softened 150g unrefined brown sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 free range eggs, at room temperature 180g self-raising flour 4 tbsp milk, at room temperature…

Halloween Cake Pops
Not long now ’till Halloween and my girls (especially the eldest) kept asking for desserts to celebrate the day so as I received some delicious Hadleigh Maid’s Baking Buttons I thought I used them in creating chocolate cake pops. But as I had two kids around they didn’t end up as good as they were supposed to. Anyway, they loved them so I will share my recipe with you too: Kara said she wants chocolate inside so I thought I should use the recipe for the brownies I always make for them. Have a look at the link before for the recipe. Instead of using cacao though I used melted milk chocolate buttons from Hadleigh…
