Carrot Cake



I had a request for Carrot Cake, I'd never made it before and not really eaten a massive amount of it either. I can safely say that I am now a fan. It has just enough cinnamon and ginger and I used this Hummingbird Bakery recipe as I find their recipes stay moist the longest and always turn out pretty right. I excluded the walnuts as my friend is allergic and I'm not that keen either, and it doesn't feel like it's lacking them. Think they would also be great in cupcake form.

Blueberry Cake



If you had asked me to eat a blueberry a year ago I probably would have refused, but now I'm obsessed. I've even recently bought a blueberry plant! So when wanting to make something new I chose his cake recipe from the Hummingbird book, which can be found here. The cake wasn't too sweet and was balanced out nicely with the sugary cream cheese frosting.

White Chocolate Stars


For my birthday my lovely flatmate bought me silicone cakes cases. They are amazing and make moulds so much easier as they pop right out. I covered the tops of them in Green & Blacks white chocolate which is a firm favourite in my house. I can't wait to try out the heart shaped ones for Valentines...

Snowmen Couples



So upon my Dad's last return from America he presented me with this amazing snowman cake tray. Now the festive season is here it was the first thing I wanted to make. These little guys came out nicely first try. I then iced outlines onto them to highlight the mould. I can't imagine it will take long for these couples to be separated...
