Hello my darlings bees! Happy Tuesday! As I am slowly getting back into the baking groove, I wanted to try a fun take on the marvelous Macrons. Also - as I am a team player - I wanted to experiment as I will be judging The Cake Initiative’s baking competition. Please go and check them out. They are a wonderful UK charity that helps provide birthday cakes for kids who shouldn’t have to miss out on celebrating their birthday in style.
After taking a few weeks away from social media (no, I wasn’t just sipping cocktails), I am now brushing up on my macron game, and I’ve come to realize it really is come down to a positive mindset (and careful . I know a lot of my fellow bakers have some phobia when it comes to theses sneaky little devils. I am not afraid to say I was one of them. So here’s my take on these delightfully dainty - yet terrifying to make - macrons. This is a how to guide in how to make these dainty french macrons.

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. Happy Tuesday my darlings. Last week was so busy, what with trying to plan my new kitchen, with work starting in a couple of weeks, and my husband needing my devoted attention. It's been a whirlwind, but luckily I found time to make these simple little unicorn cupcakes.
Now I've wanted to make something unicorn related for ages, and so this is what I came up with. Delightfully wonderful magic little unicorn cupcakes, which to me, looks like they're to burst into song at any moment. 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 darlings bees. Now I've been waiting to do this dessert for ages, and I'm so happy to finally be able to get around to making her.
A little back story: I had a dream one night, and the Green Fairy herself said I should make this dessert. You love cheesecake, and you love Absinthe (long story)... |
