I’m not someone who’s always craving chocolate. I can actually go a couple of weeks without wanting to eat any. However when I do end up craving it, the need for it goes on for a couple of days and I end up consuming it in large quantities. My access to chocolate at the start…

Swirled Sesame Tea Cake
Let’s be real, its tea weather. Even if you are a coffee person, are you telling me there isn’t a small teeny tiny part of you that actually wants tea? To go along with that wonderful cup of tea you plan to have, I would recommend this amazing tea cake. Its a version of a…
Santa’s Belt Cake
Now, this may look like any other cake. Plain simple red velvet cake. But just you wait. There’s a little surprise inside. Be warned, this cake is massive. MASSIVE! It’s not super easy to make, but it is easy enough. You will need three layers of my red velvet cake and one layer of my…
Googly Eye Mini Cake
So for my last Halloween post, I’ve made a super simple googly eye cake. When I say simple, I mean SIMPLE! This time I tinted the buttercream purple and layered the cake. I used some Halloween colored sprinkles in between each layer. Once you’ve layered the cakes, apply a crumb coat and leave it to…
Black Cat Mini Cake
So just like I did the mummy cake yesterday, I decided to a spooky black cat one. This cake is super simple, all you need is a bit of fondant for the cat. Otherwise its all buttercream. Everything in this cake is basically the same. I tinted the buttercream a bright orange and sprinkled some…

Devil’s Food Cake
In honor of the birthday of one of my favorite people ever, I thought I would share a cake recipe. I’ve made plenty of devil’s food cakes before, the Betty Crocker one, and I can honestly say that this tastes exactly the same if not better. For the cake: 180g butter 290g sugar 3/4 cup…
Lemon Victoria Sponge
Just like the drizzle cake its something that is perfect for tea. I found the cake a little dense but the whipped cream and lemon curd in the center helps lighten it. For the sponge: 175g butter 175g sugar 175g self-raising flour 1tsp baking powder 1tsp vanilla extract 1 lemon zested (I forgot to show…
