25.01.2022 Happy Monday!! What’s on for the week?

25.01.2022 http://Thursday Macaron Tip// How do you achieve such a dark coloured macaron? Adding too much gel colour can really throw off your macaronage and sometimes even add a slightly bitter taste to your macaron shell.... To help acheive intense dark colours, add chocolate powder as well as gel! Also, don't be surprised if your macaron feet come out a little smaller than usual. This is completely normal. If you have any burning questions regarding macarons, pop them in the comments below and I'll attempt to answer them over the coming weeks! See more

25.01.2022 http://Thursday Macaron Tip// Have you noticed a good macaron recipes will have egg whites in grams, not the number of eggs? Always measure your egg whites. Why? The amount of liquid in the egg whites affects the dry or wetness of your batter. Which means if you have large egg whites you have a more liquid batter and vice versa. Also, break your egg whites properly. It is very very important that your egg whites have no trace of egg yolk or th...ey will not get to stiff peaks. If you have any burning macaron questions, pop them in the comments below and I will answer them over the coming weeks! See more

25.01.2022 http://Thursday Macaron Tip// Why aren’t my egg whites whipping up? Ensure your egg whites are at room temp and ensure you have no egg yolk in your mix. It’s very easy to have a small bit fall in when separating.... Most importantly, ensure all your equipment has been thoroughly cleaned with vinegar or decorators alcohol and then dried with paper towel. This will clean any grease residue off. If you have any burning macaron questions please let me me know in the comments below and I’ll answer over the coming weeks!

24.01.2022 http://Macaron Tip Thursday// Part 3: Baking Paper (Scroll back to last Thursday to read Part 2)... Baking paper (sometimes referred to as parchment paper) would be the most known and economical of all for baking macarons. Easily found in Aisle 6 of your local supermarket, it’s easy to find and use but is it good for macaron baking? Simply put, yes. It can easily heat with your tray and and with a pair of scissors, easily adjust it to suit your tray size. A roll of baking paper costs less than 1 silicon baking mat making it very economical. However it is a one time use item and wasteful. Pros: Inexpensive Easy to find in your local supermarket High temperature range Can be cut to size Cheaper than a silpat mat and Teflon May No washing required Cons: 1 time use only Baking paper can still move about on the tray and cause your macarons to have a non flat base - making the macarons not perfectly round either. See second picture If you have a fan forced oven, you’ll need to use a bit of macaron mixture to stick your baking paper to your oven tray. It can make the baking fly around on your tray otherwise. this same movement will make your macarons not uniform and not round. They tend to be a little oval shaped instead sometimes. they will need a lower heat than mats and you will have to adjust oven temps So today I end my review on silpat mats, teflon mats and baking paper. I do hope it has helped you. But remember, with macarons, do what works FOR YOU! If you’ve found the right sequence, keep going with it. My preference for these three run in this order: 1. Silpat mats (worth the $$) 2. Baking paper (easy and inexpensive) 3. Teflon mats What do you think works for you? If you have any burning questions regarding macarons, pop them into the comments below and I’ll answer over the coming weeks!

24.01.2022 A smooth, silky, white mud cake with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream. Touches of pink pearl colours with a rose gold cake topper. Happy 18th Birthday! Our small custom made cakes are definitely making a come back

23.01.2022 These were a lovely surprise gift! Hidden under the milk chocolate coating was raspberry swirl cake, my most popular flavour!

23.01.2022 Cristina, you're amazing! I was stunned when I saw our cake, you created something so gorgeous and so delicious as well. The staff at the venue were all photographing it too and exclaiming over it. Thank you so much, we appreciate your attention to detail and we would highly recommend your services in future. Love Sarah and Carl x

21.01.2022 Here’s a bit of a close up for you!

20.01.2022 Sometimes all you need is to hear or see the reaction to your hard work: "It is the BEST galaxy cake I have EVER seen!" Lara just loved her cake and looks like she had the best iso birthday by the huge smile on her face.

20.01.2022 Hello! It has been awhile since I’ve popped in but just a quick note that I am keeping very busy here in the kitchen!

18.01.2022 Who’s hitting that button with me?

18.01.2022 Christmas: the only time of year you can sit in front of a dead tree eating chocolate out of socks. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!!

17.01.2022 http://Thursday Macaron Tips// (And yes I know it’s Friday! I’m late again!) How I prep my piping bags for macarons. 1. Place your coupler base in the bag and mark where you’d like to cut. 2. Push back your coupler and cut... 3. Add your Size 12 piping tip on to the coupler 4. Screw on the top of the coupler and voila! Ensure it’s on straight and tight! See more

16.01.2022 I'm absolutely loving that last week all the emails received were partners ordering beautiful cakes for their other halves. All were making a fantastic effort now that they have a little more time up their sleeve. This Black Forrest Cake layered with cherry compote, swiss meringue and morello cherries throughout. Devine!

15.01.2022 Happy Friday! What’s on the cards for you this weekend?

15.01.2022 Officially taking a break starting today and will be back on board 26th September. I still have a few emails in my Inbox which I’ll definitely get to later today. For now, it’s rest time

15.01.2022 This little guy went all the way to Drouin recently. Thank you Aleysha and Benjamin for thinking of me again after your wedding 2 years ago. Congratulations and hoping your zoom baby shower went great!!

14.01.2022 Good morning! Up early again today to finish off decorating chocolate cupcakes and raspberry swirl cupcakes heading out the door first thing. Then getting started on the first wedding cake in a while....kinda excited

13.01.2022 At last my turn for a Bluey cake! This cake went hand in hand with the macaron number cake. I enjoyed having creative control and everyone loved it which is always wonderful to hear back. Raspberry swirl white mud cake was hiding under the layers of ombré blue Swiss meringue and blue chocolate drip. Do you have any Bluey fans in your house?

13.01.2022 Who's looking forward to popping a champagne tonight and saying good bye to 2020?

11.01.2022 Now with no face masks, I’m screwed!

11.01.2022 A simple star berry cake! Yummy fresh strawberries all throughout. Perfect for Valentines Day don’t you think?

10.01.2022 That’s a wrap for 2020. I can’t thank you all enough for your support during a crazy year. Thanks to you all, I was very grateful that I did not stop my business and was able to offer new products which you all wholeheartedly supported. Next year I’m focusing a lot more on weddings (which we missed this year!) and also on classes/teaching. Can’t wait to see what 2021 brings!

08.01.2022 Yes! Hands up if you agree!

08.01.2022 Eeehh....eeergh...oomph....(gets off bed) Who else?

07.01.2022 With yesterday’s wedding cake, Reza and Roxanne wanted to send a special gift to those who couldn’t be there. What a beautiful gesture! 3 marshmallow macarons boxes up with ribbon and tags. Congratulations to you both.

02.01.2022 Yesss! Wedding are back...sorta! That didn't stop Roxanne and Reza though. What I loved about this couple is that they chose not to compromise their special day. Go BIG or go home right? A 2 tier chocolate cake with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream layers and gorgeous fresh flowers to decorate. A massive thank you to Kelly from @kellscaketoppers who sped this beautiful gold cake topper out to me. (You're a legend!!) Simple, elegant, beautiful. Love it.

01.01.2022 Good morning! How was your weekend? I know mine went by in the blink of an eye. Here’s one of my Macaron Number Cakes which went out on Saturday morning. Strawberry cheesecake flavoured swiss meringue buttercream layers and edible flowers finished it off beautifully don’t you think?
