Anyone for Scottish cranachan??

Hello 👋

A quick and brief one before heading out to work..

Scottish cranachan..an absolute must when you come to Scotland. Raspberries, cream, honey and whiskey..simple and effective 😋

But that doesn't mean it needs to look simple

Here's my take..

Raspberry and honey bavarois, mirror glaze, oat biscuit base, vanilla creameux, raspberry gel and a whiskey gel

Its all the same ingredients just put together in a different way.

Wee dont do simple

An excellent flavour combo and both have contrasting and complexed profiles.

🎂🍰 CAKE CLUB MAY 🍰🎂

Hello 👋

Or should I say choux-hoo? No ?🤣

Our second bake is a hybrid of a Paris-Brest and my son's and I's favorite sweet sandwich filling..

Peanut butter - chocolate - banana

Choux pastry with an chocolate craquelin, peanut butter mousse, dark chocolate creameux, fresh banana and a little bit of dulce de leche

You get sweetness, nuttiness, bitterness....loveliness

Its rich but is also well balanced out by the bitter tones of dark chocolate and the peanut butter. Fresh banana just rounds it all of.

Trust me..wee know what works

🎂🍰 CAKE CLUB MONTH OF MAY LETS GO 🍰🎂

Hello 👋

If you watched my last reel youll know that this month's Cake Club is based around pastry and more specifically puff and choux pastry.

Here's my puff pastry offering..

Milk chocolate - passionfruit - sea buckthorn

A puff pastry mille feuille layered with milk chocolate creameux and a passionfruit curd, topped off with a sea buckthorn gel and white chocolate crumb.

Get ready to get nice and creamy but with that little bit of tart tartness.

Perfect as we start to see brighter weather on the horizon and just before the berries of summer start to come

Sunny Sundays well spent 👌🏻

Hello 👋

When the weather is nice and you've spent the night before, sober, but enjoying the party celebrations, its so nice to get out and about in the fresh air and sunshine.

Wee took a trip to and stretched the legs and had a lovely stroll around the gardens.

It was a bitter sweet day because it was the first time going out without a dog to walk.

Its one of those moments in life that makes you think just how much over the last 12 years that when the weather was nice you made an extra effort to go places to give your companion a great day out as well.

Ain't it strange how your life can just change in an instant 🤔

Also I made finn puch me on the swing 🤣🤣 swipe along to see the beautiful sky view 😍

🎂🍾🎉🎊 21st CELEBRATIONS 🎊🎉🍾🎂

You're actual birthday may have been friday and the party was yesterday but today seems like a fitting time to say Happy Birthday Travis Hardie

An excellent party with all your family and friends.

It was a joy to watch you celebrate your 21st birthday and a privilege to see so much love and joy from everyone whom attended.

16 years you and I have known each other and in those 16 years your mum and I have watched you grow from a toddler to a teen to a young man.

Always immensely proud of what you have achieved so far and what's to come.

A big thanks to all who helped out and I hope everyone had a great time.

Big thanks to for all the organizing.

Hello 👋

And what a cracking day it was yesterday 👌🏻

The sun was out and we made the most of our last day of the easter holidays with a wee day trip to Glasgow.

Its never easy to get time with the family with work commitments (for anyone really) so its nice when we can all go out and enjoy our day.

Shopping in lush, trying to find a party outfit for Finn and then finally some food at wagamamas before home and it wasn't long before was off to work again 🙃

As the busy season in catering and hospitality begins to amp up, i will always be grateful to get out and about when I can
