25.01.2022 Red carpet... my dabbling, drawing and designing again!

24.01.2022 RECIPE "Stress- Free Fruitcake!" This is a last minute fruit cake - if you make anything this Christmas, choose this!!!! The fruit is soaked overnight in chocolate- milk, then flour added the next day and finito! The result is definitely a winner TMF! (Total Mourish Factor.) Its large, beautifully moist, nicely rich and a keeper! In fact it makes a wonderful dessert too, served warm with custard. You can eat this cake the next day after baking, no need to waste your dr...ool, patiently waiting weeks for this cake to develop. I find this flavour combination of fruit works well, but you can substitute other varieties if you like. The easiest and nicest fruitcake ive accomplished! 3 cups mixed fruit PLUS 4 & 1/2 cups total of extra fruit/nuts (Coles green packets are ideal): 150g (1pk) cherries (halved), 150g (1pk) cranberries (left whole) 150g (1pk) pk blanched almonds, (chopped roughly) 150g (3/4 pk) turkish apricots (slithers) 150g (3/4 pk) prunes (thirds) 75g (1/2 pk) ginger (finely chopped) 600ml carton choc milk ( I use mocha coffee/choc for extra richness) 1 tablespoon brandy 2 cups self raising flour Youll need 1x deep 23cm (9) round pan, lined once on base and sides with non stick paper. Ensure the paper sits 1-2 inches above the rims. * Mix all the fruit, brandy and mocha milk in a large bowl. Soak overnight in the fridge. * Next day, mix in the flour with a blunt knife. * Spoon into pan and smooth the top. (Decorate with extra nuts and cherries if desired.) * Bake 170c (150c fan) for approx 1&3/4 - 2hrs, until firm in the centre and a skewer comes out clean. (Ovens will vary, so check carefully.) * Drizzle with more brandy and cool cake in the pan several hours. * Keep in an airtight container in the fridge. * Ive also made this cake in various cake pans sizes. Its perfect in 2x 6pans (approx. 1hr & 35min time) or several small 4 pans. (Check timing at approx. 1hr)

20.01.2022 RECIPE SHARE -- STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE If you have a few pre-Xmas festivities approaching, this is a simple alternative to the predictable pavlova. Two hand pressed pastry rounds, sandwiched and topped with strawberries, jam and cream. This torte is lip-licious, tender and impressive! With berries so plentiful at the moment... no excuse but to indulge!! (*NOTE: You can press the pastry into 10" rounds onto 2 flat trays covered with baking paper... but I use a flan tin for a pre...tty edge. If you dont have a food processor, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs, then mix in the remaining ingredients, by hand.) PASTRY 2 cups self raising flour (or gluten free self raising flour) 2 tablespoons caster sugar 125g chilled butter or margarine, cubed. 1 cup pouring cream Preheat oven 220c / 200c fan forced. Oil spray a 25cm (10) loose bottom, fluted edge flan tin. Food processor, with metal chopping blade. Blitz shortcake ingredients together in food processor until finely crumbed, pouring in cream last. Blitz again till dough comes together. Pat mixture into a ball and cut in half. Press the first half of mixture evenly into flan tin. Bake 20 minutes. When completely cool, remove the ring and run a long sharp knife completely under short cake, rotating it. Slide it carefully from the base on to a flat serving plate. Repeat the steps to make a second layer of pastry. DECORATION 600ml whipping cream, whipped till stiff. 4 small punnets strawberries 3/4 cup strawberry jam, warmed slightly and stirred. *Spread first layer of shortcake with strawberry jam, then the cream. Scatter this with some strawberry SLICES (1 punnet) *Carefully top with remaining shortcake layer, more cream and strawberry HALVES. (3 punnets) *Brush strawberries generously with warm jam. Use a teaspoon to fill the gaps between berries. (Warm the jam again, if it needs thinning)

15.01.2022 It's been a BANANA MUFFIN morning. I call these Banana Bombs! Large Texan size muffins, with a soft, moist crumb. The perfect, easy "go to" muffin recipe!

Method; 1. Soften butter/marg in big bowl with microwave 1min. 2. Mash banana into that same bowl and stir. 3. Add next 7 ingredients and stir. 4. Add flour and chopped walnuts. Stir with blunt knife till just combined. This ensures your muffins remain light and fluffy. 5. Place mixture in 12 large muffin paper cases till full. Sprinkle with extra walnuts. 6.

03.01.2022 Semi naked cake I made for Ashlee and Ryan.s wedding yesterday. Seven layers of lemon coconut cake filled with buttercream. Served as a dessert with raspberry coulis (I made), King Island buttercream and Turkish rose dust (I made). It took a week to make the layers and one day to assemble the 2 tiers. The 2 separate tiers were driven very carefully to Darlington Estate, then I stacked and decorated the cake on site with grosgrain ribbon bows, peonies, roses and foliage. I took some autumn colored leaves, twigs and rosemary sprigs from my garden to finish. The brief was rustic, with white flora. It was a beautiful wedding and I was fortunate to be a guest too. Thank you Ashlee and Ryan!! xx
