I've always wanted to make a jelly slice but never got around to making it.  I was looking through some recipes I saved awhile ago and come across an image of a jelly slice.  I think it was a sign for me to make it and so I did.

Lemon meringue tarts are one of the most favourite desserts in my family.  Before I can even make the meringue to go on top, everyone is asking if they can eat it.  But the wait is so worth it. This lemon meringue tart is so delicious. It has a shortcrust pastry as the casing for the tart, a tangy lemon custard for the filling and a fluffy meringue top. If you love lemons I recommend you make this tart.  There are a few steps involved in making it but the end result and taste is worth the trouble. You can make this lemon tart without adding the meringue top if you don't like meringue or just can't wait to eat it. Because Spring is in the air, I used some cherry blossoms from my garden to decorate the lemon meringue tart.

Turtles are one of my favourite sea-life animals.  They are so adorable and I just love them.  Not only do I collect turtle things but I love seeing turtle related food things. If you read my last blog, you will realise that I just discovered how delicious peanut butter is in desserts.  So to follow on with the theme of peanut butter, I decided to make these super cute Nutty Turtle Macarons. These turtle macarons are so fun to make. They have a delicious peanut butter filling in the centre and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for the turtle shell. I used white chocolate buttons for the head and feet of the turtle. To create the turtle eyes I piped two dots using some coloured icing. I was really happy with the way these turtle macarons turned out.  They are almost too cute to eat.
