This is the same recipe that I used to make with Mim at the farm in school holidays. They were my Pa’s favourite. We’d always make a double batch as they’d disappear pretty quickly, that’s for sure. Such beautiful, happy memories to cherish forever. I make these with my girls all the time and they […]

charlotte’s chocolate cupcakes
You’ve heard of the saying “the dog ate my homework”. In this case, it’s more like “the dog ate my cupcakes”. Blue Dog ate the entire tray of Charlotte’s chocolate cupcakes! Blue. Dog! Oh, and it gets worse. Not only did he pinch the cupcakes, but also gone was a whole loaf of freshly baked […]

It’s covered in paint (from our many messy craft sessions) and has so much flour caked in to the […]
butterfly cakes | with jam + whipped cream
Mum’s butterfly cakes sat in pride of place at every birthday party we ever had growing up. I have lots of memories making these too when I’d go out to Mim and Pa’s farm in the school holidays. My job was always to line the muffin tins with the patty cases and as the years […]
