Chocolate Whoopie Pies





It was some fellow baker friends of mine that introduced me to the Whoopie Pie , at first the only thing that came to mind when asked if i had heard about whoopie pies , was the good old fashioned practical joke the  whoopie cushion. However after attempting my first batch yesterday with great success I realised these indulgent little things are far from the practical joke. I made them using an American recipe , therefore wasn't expecting much as I have had trouble with recipes from the USA in the past. However after having my first ever whoopie pie , I am now officially a Whoopie Pie fan . Whoopie Pies are a mixture between cakes and cookies , sandwiched together with your favourite icing . For mine I used a simple buttercream .

Cheese Wheel Wedding Cake

A Friend of mine is getting married and instead of having a traditional wedding cake she has opted for a Cheese Wheel Wedding cake . At first I thought it was a rather strange idea and thought it would look a bit odd , but once I started looking at some pictures they actually look really quite amazing ! This cheese wheel cake picture I found, from a far would look just like a normal elegant wedding cake . I love the white roses in between the tiers and have grown very fond of the rustic look the Cheese Wheel Wedding cake has. Now all I need is a good glass of champagne and Im away!

Salted Caramel and Vanilla Cheesecake


This Cheesecake I made for a girly dinner the other night, it is the Donna Hay recipe and should be tryed by all cheesecake lovers. With light caramel notes it is rich in flavour and satisfies the taste buds. If you want to try it you can find the recipe in the lastest Donna Hay magazine. Definately a crowd pleaser. Bon appetite!!

Lemon Meringue Cupcakes

These Lemon Meringue cupcakes literally give you a burst of lemon when you bite into them. They have a yummy gooey lemon centre and are nicely complimented by a vanilla bean and lemon sponge with a Italian meringue topping ! If your a lover of the lemon then these are a must have for you!! These are a prototype I think I can tweak them a little to give an even greater result ! So watch this space
