Caramel Meringue Cake

22/04/201316/09/2019
 
 
 
 
 
I love this cake.
 
It took two days to make, but the results were worth it. 
I adapted the recipe from Whisk-Kid.
 (Look for Caramel Cake in the recipe index).
If you like baking from scratch, this one is for you.

Summer Blooms (or Bloomin’ Summer!!)

11/12/201216/09/2019
I have a confession to make. A very unpopular confession.
 
I don’t like Summer!!!
 
I REALLY don’t like Summer. Can’t stand it.
 
When you live in one of the most beautiful coastal communities in Australia, this  is quite a difficult position to hold!! The beaches are gorgeous and everyone, it seems, lives for the summer.
I try really hard to bite my tongue on those all too frequent stinking hot days when all I want to do is cry because of the heat. People look at me like I have two heads when I even hint at my intense dislike of our golden Aussie summers.
But  I really, REALLY struggle with the heat.  
It is too hot to work, too hot to clean, too hot to do schoolwork with the kids, and most despairingly, too hot to cook!!!
What am I to do??? (Besides take 4 showers a day!)
 
My ideal climate would be similar to New Zealand, I imagine. Warmish, short summers and long bitterly cold winters. Ahhhh…BLISS! 
In Summer I wilt, in winter I come alive! I LOVE it!
As an indoor girl, I would much rather curl up by the fire and read a good book, or spend hours in my kitchen cooking up all sorts of winter comfort foods. 
But alas!!….here I am and Summer is here to stay!
 
So….. in my vain attempt to at least appear to enjoy this season, I  have made my  Bloomin’ Summer   Summer Blooms cake  and cupcakes with the brightest colours I could muster up! 
It was all a bit tricky of course, because my gumpaste wouldn’t set in the wretched humidity!!!!! (ARRGH!!)

Get down and boogie!!!

18/10/201216/09/2019
 

Here it is, the pinnacle of my very short cake decorating career!!!
This is the “Disco” cake I made for my friend’s 1970’s theme party. 
I COULD tell you how disappointed I was with it, and the trouble I had trying to work with fondant,
BUT…………
I think I will be a big girl and just say YES, it looked FAB and the birthday girl loved it.

🌸 It’s been a tough start to the year for man 🌸 It’s been a tough start to the year for many in our region and also personally. This week I was able to put the difficulties aside and unleash my creative heart in a collaboration with the lovely Mandy from @whitecottage_flowerfarm_  in Tenterfield, one of my all time favourite places. 

Mandy owns the most wonderful antique store which is a vintage lover’s dream. She is also an accomplished gardener, stylist and photographer whose Instagram feed looks like it’s full of still life paintings. 

Having beautiful props, billowing flowers and perfect Autumn light at our fingertips, we spent the morning styling and photographing my cake and cupcakes in her cottage. 

I have long dreamt of days like these, when I could spend unhurried time focussing solely on creating, even just for a few hours. This is what fills up my cup, allows me to exhale, breathe a little deeper and look a little higher amidst the clamour and chaos of keeping house and raising children. 

Beauty brings life and I hope you are inspired by this calming vignette. I am looking forward to sharing more mages, from both Mandy and myself over the coming days. 

Xx🌸

🌿 Turning 21 seems like a million years ago, bu 🌿 Turning 21 seems like a million years ago, but I can still remember how grown up I felt and excited I was about life! 

I was blessed with an incredibly happy childhood and even happier teenage years, a good foundation for my journey into adulthood. 

Oh how much water has rushed under the bridge since those carefree days. Some flowing in stillness and glorious calm, other waves turbulent, large and ominous. But mostly there has been that steady, consistent flow of the day to day,  making for a very fortunate life indeed.

🧡 Hello friends. It’s been a tough couple wee 🧡 Hello friends. It’s been a tough couple weeks in our region and to be honest, difficult to think about pretty baby cookies and blog posts with so much incomprehensible suffering and so many who have lost everything right on our doorstep. 

I am so proud of our community. The Aussie Spirit is alive and well and gives us hope that we are in this together and will recover. 

Through it all, we are still planning on the @mumhubcollective market in April. Pop over to the dear treasures Renee & Stevie @little_marquetta if you need any help with baby gear and support after these floods. 

For now, here are a few of the delightfully retro cookies I will be selling at the @lennoxculturalcentre2478 on Sunday 10th April, along with my delicious cupcakes. I hope to see you there x 🧡

🧡💛🤎 Hello Lovelies. It’s sooo nice to b 🧡💛🤎 Hello Lovelies. It’s sooo nice to be back. I have been MIA for quite a while but things are looking up and I have some exciting news to share. 

I am delighted to announce that I am joining a team of very talented women, collaborators of the Mum Hub Collective market who seek to support mothers suffering from PND. 

The next boutique market will be held in the Lennox Head Community Hall on Sunday April 10th. 

I will have my gorgeous 1960’s Danish glove counter filled to the brim with delicious cupcakes, decorative cookies and boxed treats. If any of you have wanted to taste Mama Bear’s cupcakes, then now is your chance! I’d really love to meet you. 🤎

Check out the talented stall holders who create beautifully boho mama and baby products. @mumhubcollective @little_marquetta

I had so many grand plans for this week. Oh well. For now I will daydream about eating this wild concoction of an ‘Aussie Mess’ ( my sarcastic Australian nod to the Eton Mess) 🌺
Vanilla raspberry cupcake topped with vanilla buttercream, fresh whipped cream, raspberry meringue and whatever the heck else you want to pile on top!! 😉
Have a great week. Xx
