Christmas trees

Dear all,

Over christmas I was asked to make little christmas tree cakes. Of course I am happy to oblige! See here the result of these very green cakes (they even made our tongues go green, oops!).

Glam Trifle

Dear all,

Sometimes glamming up a regular dessert is justified and just plain necessary. See here my "glam" trifle (with help from my favourite foodie source Good Food). Behold: cream, custard, raspberry jelly and cake!

Persimon cake

Dear all,

Autumn has almost come and gone, but autumn certainly brings some nice fruits to work with. This time I used persimons. I used persimon in the batter as well as on top. Delicious!

White chocolate cookies with custard

Dear all,

I haven't been baking enough recently, so I decided it was time for cookies. Today I present to you: White chocolate cookies. With custard. A recipe I found said to put custard powder in with the cookies, I had never tried that before. To be honest, I'm not sure what the custard powder adds, but they're pretty tasty!




Hehe I had the first batch in the oven too long (or rather, my oven was too hot I think) but the second batch worked perfectly. Above is the result of batch nr. 2 (with the bad batch hiding underneath!).

Oh, and Happy Halloween!!

Mocha Shortbread

Dear all,

A friend came over for lunch and requested chocolate. That I can do! So I made mocha shortbread ( a recipe from Fortnum and Mason). The recipe calls for the use of rice flour (in combination with regular flour). That's something I have never used, and I'm still not quite sure of the benefits (though I've been told that it adds to the crunchiness?), either way, these biscuits are fan-tas-tic. Highly recommended!!

Quilt Cake

Dear all,

We recently celebrated my mum's birthday. She is a quilter (has her own company North Sea Quilters) and one of the quilts is called "Little Amsterdam" which I love. So for her birthday I decided to make a Little Amsterdam cake (with help from my brother!). For a pop of colour I used red velvet cake. Here it goes:
