Is there anything more wonderful than sweet spicy ginger kisses filled with caramel buttercream – place them in a mason jar with twine and they would make the sweetest little Valentines gift for someone special! I made these oh so yummy ginger kisses for the summer shoot in New Zealand weddings, aren’t they they perfect little treat?! I hope that everyone had a truly wonderful and relaxing weekend, I’d love to hear what you got up to. x

With Christmas just around the corner I’ve been thinking of things to bake, I’m not a fan at all of the traditional fruit cake, it’s just too heavy for me. But angel food cake, now this is the yummiest lightest cake you will ever try, it was the main cake for the gorgeous neutral dessert table that I worked on with Coralee, All the Frills and Toodles Noodles a while ago. This light airy and oh so delicious cake would be the perfect way to end a family Christmas lunch or dinner with some sweet fresh berries sprinkled on top for a little Christmas cheer. x

Yay we’re finally having some gorgeous Spring weather – but it’s still very much on the chilly side! I couldn’t think of anything better than turning on the oven to warm your home up and make a few yummy pies – especially if you turn it into a little dessert table and have people over for dinner for a ‘yay it’s Spring party’! How absolutely stunning is this dessert table – all the sweet treats that you see are made by the very lovely To Have and To Hold, the stunning photos by Sutherland Kovach and all the props, flowers and styling by the enormously talented Blush Flowers. I couldn’t think of a better excuse that to potter in the kitchen. x
Oh my goodness, I am so excited to introduce the cutest bub ever, this is Sienna, Mel from All the Frills’ daughter who celebrated her first birthday last week! I had the absolute honour to be able to make Sienna’s birthday cake and a few other goodies for her stunning peach and silver themed birthday party that was beautiful styled by her Mama – All the Frills! I could gush on forever about how enormously talented Mel is at creating a beautiful party and her attention to detail is out of this world – especially the gorgeous petal backdrop she made! All the beautiful photos were wonderfully captured by Ellie from Jel Photography, I hope that you enjoy this as much as we did it was such a honour to be apart of such a special day, Happy Birthday Sienna! xo
Oh my, I am beyond honoured and so excited to be celebrating Made From Scratch’s second birthday! If someone had told me that I would be hosting baking classes and that I would have the privilege of knowing and working with so many amazing people then I wouldn’t’ have believed them in a million years. Nothing makes me happier than blogging, meeting and chatting with you all and of course the absolute honour of teaching baking classes. I don’t have the words to thank you for all your support over the last two years, each and everyone one of you mean the world to me. So I thought I would celebrate with a mini funfetti layer cake photographed by the wonderfully talented Ellie from Jel Photography, again thank you so much I can’t wait to see what the next two years brings. x
