Vodka & Orange Cake
Posted in: Baking - Tuesday, March 19 2013
Without sounding like a total boozehound, my home is well stocked with various spirits and liqueurs collected over the years. Some items were forgotten BYO’s acquired after hosting a succession of New Year’s Eve parties while others were purchased on a whim while travelling overseas (who can say no to duty free booze??).

‘Mont Blanc’ Cupcakes
Posted in: Baking - Friday, March 15 2013
Many, many years ago when I first started blogging in 2009 (as Retromony), I wrote a post about a popular Japanese dessert called Mont Blanc or Monburan.

I had every intention of blogging while we were holidaying in Perisher but a full day of boarding usually meant there was only enough energy left each night to slither out of the spa and put myself and the kids to bed. Heck, I could hardly lift a crochet needle; another aprés-ski endeavour I failed [...]

Browned Butter & Azuki Tea Cake
Posted in: Baking - Friday, July 06 2012
As I hinted in my previous post (in which there’s a chance to win a Cakesnake), my kitchen really needed some sorting out. My bakeware cupboard was taken care of by the amazing Cakesnake but nothing other than a solid clean-out was going to help my pantry. I hate to admit it but I’m a [...]
