To be honest, I'm not really sure how this baking challenge is going to work. How can I call it 'week one' when it's a fortnightly challenge? How does a person pick just ONE recipe when there is so much baking goodness out there? I don't know, I guess we'll just see how we go. WEEK 1 – Banoffee Cupcake Challenge My first challenge was pretty easy and came about mostly because I just HAD to cook something out of… Read more »
A few weeks ago, Sarah (interstate bestie and all round kitchen extraordinaire) admitted to me that she needed a hobby or a club to join or something to commit to. She couldn't decide what to do. We spend a lot of our day talking (via text) about cooking and eating and baking and cake so when I decided to make more of an effort to bake, I thought I would create a challenge for us to tackle together. And so… Read more »
So I've been ridiculously busy lately going to Vivid Festival and Zumbo's Dessert Train and hanging out with my bestie – not to mention crazy work – so I forgot to finish up the Saved By Cake Giveaway. It's ending this weekend, so if you want to be in it, just go here and tell me your favourite cake! I'm announcing the winner tomorrow so make sure you enter and you could be baking some amazingly delicious goods for… Read more »
I had so many intentions for this weekend and nothing really went as planned, including my Monday blog post! I think most of it is because of the insane amount of rain we had in Sydney, literally putting a dampener on the whole weekend. What I planned to do: – Go to Bikram Yoga – Go to the Vivid Light Festival – Write a blog about the Vivid Light Festival – Clean my whole house – Go to a screening… Read more »

It's been an online shopping frenzy in my household lately! The boy gets up early and I stay up late and, between us, we get ample guilt-free online shopping done. Here are some things that arrived in the mail for me over the last week or two from some really great online shops – watch out, you might get hooked too: These dresses from In Love With Fashion A Bardot jumper from The Iconic (I love this shop and… Read more »
Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great weekend. Sunday and I have a love/hate relationship. I love the relaxed vibe of Sunday but I hate that it means the weekend is nearly over and it's back to work tomorrow. One thing I love to do on Sundays is bake and I just wanted to bring Saved By Cake by Marian Keyes to your attention in case you missed it on Friday!! I mentioned this in my Favourite Things… Read more »
Hello there! I've been having a bit of a tough time motivation-wise with my blog and I'm making a concerted effort to get back into it! I have some lovely readers – both people I know and people I don't and I feel as though I haven't been giving 100 percent lately. I was going to do a 100 Facebook followers giveaway, but I am being impatient so I have decided to do it as part of today's favourite things… Read more »
