You can bake it too

If you love chocolate, brownies and cookies, you definitely need to bake these.  This recipe is so delicious and you will not be disappointed.  It's one of my all time favourite cookie recipes. These Chocolate Brownie Cookies are so delicious and full of chocolate flavour.  They taste just like a brownie but in a cookie.  Hard to stop at just one cookie. You can eat the cookies without adding the chocolate ganache in the middle but the ganache takes it to the next level of yum. Hope you give this recipe a try soon.

Since making my first galette, I've been wanting to try another flavour combination.  I decided to make another batch of my homemade caramel sauce.  But this time I used cream instead of milk to make the caramel sauce even more delicious. I love that this pastry is so easy to make and the rest time is only an hour.  The addition of apples makes the galette taste almost like an apple pie. This Caramel Apple Galette is simply delicious.  It is made from a sweet pastry dough which is light and flaky. The centre of the galette is filled with juicy apple slices and finally drizzled with some sweet homemade caramel sauce. If you have never made galettes, I hope you give this recipe a go.

These macarons were made as a special birthday treat for someone that loves a good game of tennis. These Tennis Ball Macarons are fun to make as a gift or for a themed birthday party.  Not only are they cute to make but they are filled with either a delicious white chocolate ganache or dark chocolate ganache. I piped two lines using royal icing on the top shell of the macarons so they look like tennis balls.  Alternatively you can use melted white chocolate to achieve the same thing. *Please note that the royal icing recipe makes a lot of icing.  The icing can be used for decorating cookies or be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week if stored correctly.

This was a special bake for an 85th Birthday celebration.  I must be honest, I found it hard to create a cake that was not pink or girly like. I'm pretty pleased with the way the cake turned out but I did have problems along the way.  Initially, I thought I would decorate the cake to look like the classic white birthday cake.  However, after adding a little drop of purple along with the white food gel, I felt that it looked a little grey rather than white.  The little touch of purple food gel was supposed to hide the yellow tint of the buttercream.  In the end, I decided to add sky blue food gel instead. This Chocolate Drip Cake is made of a super moist chocolate cake with delicious chocolate ganache frosting in between the layers.  It is finally decorated with a chocolate drip, Swiss meringue buttercream swirls and sprinkles.
