Procrastibaking my way through life
This little dessert is a very small twist on a classic one. It was born mostly by accident once using the wrong type of sugar. What resulted was a richer, more caramelised citrus custard than usual, but one that was definitely appreciated by everyone. This time I made it for a birthday celebration so spent [ ]
It s nearly that time of year again. Now, Cam and I don t really celebrate Valentine s, especially because our anniversary is 2 days later. But I do love the excuse to bake to a theme. Last year I made a set of cookie embossers in the style of Love Hearts, known elsewhere as Sweet Hearts or [ ]
This week is a cake I made for a young boy celebrating his 8th birthday. The initial brief was for a replica of the cake on the cover of Marshmello s Light It Up single. As we discussed it, though, their s son s love for Minecraft came up and I was asked to incorporate the TNT, and [ ]
Butterscotch is one of my absolute favourite flavours. Drizzle a good butterscotch sauce on practically any pudding and I m there. But outside of puddings, it s almost unheard of in cake form here. In fact, the first time I heard of it was quite some years ago when an Indian family commissioned a cake from me [ ]
Last post I mentioned those kind of posts where I m mostly just showing you guys what I ve been up to. This is one of those! When my cousin announced his first born s first birthday party, I leapt at the chance to make the birthday cake. The proud parents had settled on a jungle-themed party. Not [ ]
Something I ve been working on alongside all the gaming props I ve been 3D modelling are tools to help me in the kitchen. I started with cookie cutters and have been having a lot of fun putting them to use in a variety of ways, from the cookies themselves to using them in cake decorating. I [ ]
When you bake as much as I do, you have regular recipes you whip out for special occasions. Of course, I always ask for preferences among the group, but the answer is almost always chocolate . Chocolate is the ultimate crowd-pleaser, but there s chocolate cakes and then there s this. This is the fudgiest, richest mudcake I ve [ ]
This is a little recipe I turn to often when I m looking for a dessert everyone can eat. I ve shared a similar mousse before that I used in this Easter Cake, but this is a little version without the setting agent you can whip up in a hurry. Especially if you are serving this to [ ]
This next cake was a small cake order I received. Well, small was the operative word until a last minute change of heart moved it closer into regular cake territory. This customer had recently moved to Aus with her husband and was celebrating her husbands birthday for the first time here together. She said she [ ]
A quick little post this week to show you guys a cake I made for a 5th birthday. The brief was for a TMNT cake with just the little heads poking through the manhole. The other request was to not make the cake too sweet. I was honestly more nervous about this part than anything. [ ]
