I realised I didn’t have many cupcake recipes, I always prefer cakes with the perception that it’s a weightier dessert that feeds more people, I find with cake there is less weight and it’s easier to decorate one cake instead of many little cupcakes. But this one is an exceptionally simple recipe it would be…

Classic Pecan Tart
I’m actually surprised I haven’t shared this recipe earlier – this one is a sure hit and I have used it many a times for Christmas to Thanksgiving dinners (which are interchangeable for me at this point). This pie is a classic and the crunch of the caramelized pecans with the sweetness of the filling…
Apple Coffee Cake
A slight variation and twist on the classic apple pie, this Apple Coffee Cake has all the deliciousness of the apple with a more understated taste. Did you know what none of the “Coffee Cakes” have coffee in them, the name implies they can be eaten with a nice mug of coffee, can of like…
Peanut Butter Silk Cake
If you are like me and bless the person who figured out the chocolate/peanut butter combo into heaven, you’ll love this cake. It’s a great option for birthdays and other major occasions with a pre-made sponge and where the creamy filling makes it the special cake everyone will talk about. Just make sure you consider…
Cheery Lemon Tart
In the dark dreary winter months how about trying some bright citrus flavour with an equally bright yellow look. This will put a smile for both the freshness it brings and the taste it has. Less tart and more sweet this will satisfy any sweet tooth. Easy to make and impressive all year round and…
Sunrise Banana Cake
We are very familiar with the rustic and hearty Banana Loafs and Banana Breads. But for those with slightly sweeter cravings how about a good ol’ Banana Cake? The natural sweetness of Bananas has finally got its due in the cake world and it couldn’t be any simpler. This is a middle of the road…
Lotus Biscuit Cake
Lotus Biscuits are a big deal outside North America, I would say on par with Nutella with a range of lotus biscuit products like pancakes, sweets, smoothies, ice cream etc. You can however still find the addictive biscuit and the related Lotus Biscoff Paste in ethnic and speciality supermarkets in your area, and after you…
Hazelnut Date Cake
Most hazelnut cakes are primarily made up of thick hazelnut chocolate spread. But for some who like the hazelnut flavour but with less overpowering sweet chocolate taste, dates might offer a good alternative. This dry, semi-sweet cake holds up well and makes a delectable tea cake or a less imposing dessert than a Nutella pie…
Healthy Natural Popsicles
The easiest and cheapest summer treat you can do is a fresh juice Popsicle. Assuming you already have a juicer there isn’t a huge cost here, your fruits and veggies and the Popsicle mould (alternatively you can use an ice cube rack with Popsicle sticks (from the dollar store) sticking out of each one. Just…
Home-made Granola Bars
You all know this by now, anything homemade is great, anything ready made is evil (not quite) but in most cases that is true. Plus it’s way cheaper to do it at home. Granola bars are one such case, it’s so easy to make it should be a crime for you to buy the store…
