I made this cake for a friend a few years ago. Still one of my favourite cakes. We took the ferry into town then went out for dinner and about town for drinks. We carried this cake with us. It got nicknamed the squirrel. Not sure why. But at some point someone asked what we we had in the box and someone said a squirrel and it stuck.🐿️💕

Such a pleasure to be able to give back to this amazing place.

As a part of our Sustainable Style Session today at our Remuera shop, we’ll be serving some refreshments for our wonderful participants… And our two main supporters will be Ᾱrepa and Lou's cakes & cupcakes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Arepa is New Zealand’s first smart drink, scientifically designed to support mental clarity. Founders Angus and Zac wanted to create a drink that disrupted the energy drink market by providing something natural and caffeine-free that could help with cognitive function.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was important for them to include New Zealand ingredients— so with over 5 years of research and development working with world-renowned neuroscientists, they were able to concoct a recipe that represents Aotearoa’s unique ingredients (NZ Pine Bark extract & Blackcurrant extract) combining it with other various 100% natural ingredients that help with our brain function. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their success so far is that they are now in over 50 supermarkets nationwide and around 200 cafes. Their goal is to export worldwide, represent New Zealand on the world stage and ideally become the world’s most iconic health brand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Arepa will be providing us with some of their brain-boosting drinks for our participants to enjoy, which will be sure to pump everyone up at our styling event!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our other supporter will be Lou’s Cakes & Cupcakes, who will be providing us with some of her delicious cupcakes!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Louise has been baking for many years now, from making birthday cakes for her kids and friends to wedding cakes and cupcakes for events. As a recovered Dove Hospice patient, Louise is extremely talented and always excited to try new cakes and designs! You can reach her on her page 'Lou's cakes & cupcakes' if you’d like to order some of her tasty baking. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you so much Arepa and Louise for providing some amazing refreshments for our event, we’re all thankful for your support!

Banana and caramel cake. Yum. Its my hubby's 50th and we have family here for dinner tonight. Pete doesn't like much buttercream so just a thin layer on here.

Each layer has a thin layer of butter cream and some home made caramel sauce. Then it's topped with buttercream and a drizzle of chocolate ganache and caramel. A sprinkle of cake crumbs, buttercream, lemon curd.

Now off to finish tidying.
