They look adorable too, and are lovely to enjoy on their own, or to serve alongside fresh fruit, ice cream or chocolate mousse. The easy recipe below will show you how to bake the meringue and create these irresistible and elegant sweet treats at home.

This scrumptious tart is a delightful combination of tastes and textures. Golden, flaky puff pastry is topped with flavourful tomato pesto, a medley of roasted vegetables and melty mozzarella – it’s the perfect union of crunch and flavour. Are you hungry yet?
Ahoy! The inspiration for this birthday cake comes from the official birthday cake handbook of the eighties (and beyond), “The Australian Women’s Weekly Kids’ Birthday Cakes”. How many of you can remember paging through this book as children, ogling all of the beautiful birthday creations? Talk about nostalgia. My copy of the book is not the original but a later version, however it but still features its legendary bakes like the train cake, the princess castle and the swimming pool (if you know, you know).
Have you heard of cookie bark before? I came across this idea on Pinterest and was immediately intrigued – with a name like cookie bark who wouldn’t be? It sounded so good! To be honest I’m not sure what the exact definition of cookie bark is as there seem to be endless variations out there… chocolate poured on top of a cookie slab, cookies crumbled over a layer of chocolate, cookies mixed into chocolate, cookie dough sandwiched between layers of chocolate, thin bark, chunky bark… it seems anything goes.
I had to play around with this recipe a few times to get it just right, and I’m so glad I persevered because these ginger and dark chocolate bars are absolutely delicious! They’re chewy and oaty with a tasty hint of ginger. The dark chocolate layer at the bottom finishes them off perfectly. I would definitely classify these as a treat snack, and they are rather lovely as an afternoon pick-me-up.
When it comes to flavour combinations lemon and coconut are firm friends, and they combine beautifully in this fluffy layer cake. Whether you’re looking for a celebration cake or just something special to enjoy at tea time with the family this cake is a fantastic bake.
I’ve been so looking forward to this Easter weekend and a chance to slow down, catch my breath for a few days and enjoy time with my family. We’re keeping things very simple this year without all the fuss and frills, but there will still be plenty of treats to enjoy. I decided to put together a round up of decadent Easter dishes that you can make over the coming weekend.
Easter is around the corner and I decided to give one of my favourite bread dough recipes a chocolate twist for the occasion. This brioche dough is enriched with milk, egg and butter making it extra delicious and soft. It’s really easy to work with and the buns are utterly divine to eat!
