Lately Baking

While I have been quiet on the blogging front while living in London, you can bet your KitchenAid that I have still been baking. Here's what I've been mixing up lately.

 

 

{gingerbread}

 

 

{choc peppermint slice}

 

At Christmas time, apart from these white chocolate and cranberry cupcakes which I posted, I made these two seasonal essentials. I also made a yule log with sugared cherries (not as impressive as this one!).

 

 

{anzac biscuits}

 

Went down a treat on Australia Day.

 

{weekend banana bread}

 

On a weekend, of course.

 

 

{brownies}

 

Just 'cause.

 

 

{chocolate celebration cake}

 

I made one of these 6 months ago for a birthday, and today again for a hen's party! It really is the perfect celebration cake!

 

 

{red velvet cheesecake brownies}

 

Kyle's request for his birthday treat.

 

Of recipes not already documented on the blog, I made chocolate afghan biscuits, plum bakewell tart and a crumb-heavy apple crumble. I also managed to squeeze in a lemon raspberry layer cake, rhubarb crumb cake, carrot layer cake, lemon yoghurt syrup cake and caramel tres leches cake. That's... a lot of cake!

 

I have been discovering lots of new classics and look forward to posting them here. This blog has been one of my best resources for recipes while I've been away from my beloved cookbooks and I intend to keep adding my favourite recipes!

Edited to add: before we left London I also made this lime coconut cake and a batch of my fave choc chip cookies!
