Pavlova Roulade

Pavlova Roulade

I have been intending to try making a Pavlova Roulade (Roll) for some time now, and was a bit nervous before starting because I really thought my first attempt would be a failure.  I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this is to make, but also 

Chocolate Hot Cross Buns

Chocolate Hot Cross Buns

I’ve eaten the traditional variety of Hot Cross Buns all my life, but have never tried Chocolate Hot Cross Buns.  I’ve looked at a few recipes,  and no two are the same, so I settled on this one to try.  I was happy with how 

Mini Chocolate Tarts

Mini Chocolate Tarts

Recently I had to bake two cakes to prepare sample/tasting cakes for a bride and groom. I made a dark chocolate mudcake, and a white chocolate mudcake.  Both were filled with ganache. I wasn’t sure what to do with the left over ganache, do I

Pecan Pie (as a Tart)

I thought I had posted this recipe back in November, but I realise that all I did was publish the photos in error with the Pumpkin Pie recipe! I did make a Steller Story about it though but I want to share it with you because 

Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate Mousse

  Chocolate Mousse could almost be called a vintage dessert.  I feel like it was maybe a dinner party staple during the 70’s.  A good chocolate mousse can be  the answer to end a successful dinner party, is easy and quick to put together, and

If you are planning on starting all good things after the Epiphany (which is when all good intentions begin in Italy, after the Befana), I suggest that before you start that diet, if you plan on sinning a little beforehand, you may as well sin
