I didn't post anything in a while. Life gets busy sometimes... but who doesn't need a chocolate-pick-me-up this time of year to indulge under the blankets on a cold Friday evening?

Just a reminder of some of my most beloved items :-). Everything I bake is made with quality ingredients (Belgian Couverture Chocolate) and never overly sweet.

Mocha Cream Cheese Brownies

Have you ever heard of anything as decadent?

They are perfectly gooey, and chewy, and chocolatey and rich. And yet not too sweet.

Serve them warm with some vanilla ice-cream as a dessert this winter, or chill them for your anytime treat

Check out the recipe on my blog, and don't forget to share with your friends (maybe as a hint that you want to get invited over hahahaha) :-)

It was my daughter's birthday this past week, and she loves blueberry jam.

So voilà, a cake fit for a princess who loves purple 😍😊

Vanilla Sponge, layered with Blueberry Jam and Vanilla/Blueberry flavored Swiss Meringue Buttercream, covered in charred Swiss meringue. It was heaven!

Sitting under a blanket, candles lit, Earl Grey tea to warm my hands and stomach, and my favourite treats to warm my heart and soul (ultra creamy chocolate cheesecake + squares with an almond base, dark truffle and mint centre).

My morning is made ❤

What are you up to on this cold, rainy Cape Town day?

Majority of my treats freeze beautifully, so you can stock up for those days that require a sweet pick-me-up or to spoil your unexpected guests.

Happy International Mother's Day ❤

Today I had an order for 2 traditional Swedish Prinsesstårtor (Princess Cakes) so I took the opportunity to make myself a small one for Mother's Day 😊

A super light vanilla sponge, with homemade vanilla custard, raspberry jam and fresh cream, topped with homemade Swedish marzipan (less sweet than South African marzipan).

The traditional look is green with pink roses, and this cakes dates back to the early 1900 and is one of the most beloved pastries in Sweden and renowned around the world.

I have never been great at making marzipan roses, but I am finally getting better 😃
