Seeing as Easter is right around the corner - and I seem to be picking up speed again - I wanted to do this yummy treat (with my own twist on it, of course).

I have found adding alcohol to desserts doesn’t always work out, however this one certainly did. I felt like the taste of Baileys could have been stronger. Next time maybe I’ll try something a little more powerful, but if you want to experiment be sure it’s a cream liqueur.

Hello my darlings bees! I know, I know… what have I been doing, you may be asking? Well truth be told with my kitchen still having her face lift (yes still… you can’t rush perfection).     Quality over quantity, my bees, remember that!

We are doing 80% of it ourselves, and sadly this lady of the house has no people to help her. I may add a link here for when she is finally all done, for those that would like to check it out. I’m also the proud patron of The Cake Initiative - a charity for parents who can’t afford birthday cakes for their kids. Please check them out!

Now… on to my latest bake:

I wanted to make a brownie, but with some pizazz, of course. As I am a one of the judges for Cake Initiative’s upcoming competition, I thought it was only right do my own take on the classic Brownies. I used my Nana L’queur Brownie, recipe but with a little bit of moi.

Hello my darling bees, It's been such a hectic week as I prepare to have my kitchen become a no-go zone for a 2 or 3 months for renovation. Possibly longer... how will I cope? I know, poor me... hahaha, but it will all be worth it.

Anyway, I've been waiting to make a no-bake desserts for some time now, and came up with this delightful chocolate overload no-bake Baileys pie. As my kitchen will be out of use for sometime, its only going to force me to think of fun new ways to make desserts for my bees.

Hello my darling honey bees! As we are well into spring I’ve been waiting to do a simple lemon cupcake. But not just any lemon cupcake... not me! These have Strawberries & Cream Baileys lemon swirled frosting to complete it, with the hope it puts a smile on your face. They are so simple to make (yes, even mother can do it!) 

I was playing around with the right amount of lemon, and lemon zest, and I think it’s the right balance of zest. These in my option are lemon perfection cupcakes, with a nice generous  amount of Baileys strawberries and cream to complete them. match made in heaven.
