Rhubarb & Honey Mascarpone Custard Doughnuts
Undoubtably, doughnuts are my weakness. I can’t resist a fresh, soft doughnut. I love the way everything seems to get a showering of sugar as it rustles off between bites. Along with the fact that doughnuts are one of my favourite baked goods, add rhubarb to the mix and these couldn’t be more perfect. I’ve filled them filled to the brim with a tangy compote and the most luscious mascarpone custard filling. A real treat.
Peanut, Stem Ginger & Miso Cheesecake Swirl Cookies
These are my ode to the sweet and salty lovers. I am one of them so these are also for me! I have been a bit obsessed with making flavoured chocolate barks for my cookies. It has really opened up so many possibilities to add in flavours that you don’t necessarily want in the actual cookie dough.
Blood Orange Baby Cakes with Blood Orange Curd and Bay Leaf Buttercream
Blood oranges are in season so I’m obviously baking with them. This orange and almond sponge is one of my all-time favourites. Whole blood oranges are boiled and then pureed before being added into the cake batter. It makes for an incredibly moist and flavourful sponge. Plus its gluten free too!
Chocolate Love Cakes with Roasted Strawberry Buttercream
I don’t know anyone that wouldn’t be happy to receive one of these for Valentines Day. Moist chocolate cake, indulgent chocolate ganache, fresh strawberries and roasted strawberry buttercream. They’re the perfect size to split with your love, but this recipe makes more than enough for you to each have your own. I really think it’s worth putting the extra effort into the finishing touches. Fresh rose petals and gold leaf are my favourites to really make them special.
Rhubarb & Lemon Mascarpone Cream Choux Buns
I’m not a big believer of Valentines day so it’s quite a chill affair in my house. I do, however, believe in spreading love with food. So these sweet lemony cream choux buns with their punchy rhubarb compote nestled inside are just that. My little love buns.
Chamomile, Blueberry & Ginger Swiss Roll
Swiss roll is the epitome of a light sponge that can carry an array of flavours. I flavoured mine with some lemon zest. I love the delicate flavour of chamomile when its infused into a cream and the sweetness of white chocolate pairs well. Along with the chamomile white chocolate cream; I made a punchy blueberry and ginger compote to add a pop of colour to both the aesthetics and flavour.
