Recipes: Christmas Cooking!


I love to cook and plan to try out a whole lot of recipes this year, and of course i will share them with you all! I cam across two new recipes before Christmas that i just had to make. Eggnog cup cakes and Salted Caramel Pretzel Bark. Of course i made my usual ginger bread house for all the kiddies, which is always fun to make.


I've never actually had eggnog before so it was a risk, but its actually nice, i made these kiddie friendly but am sure would taste even better with some alcohol in them, just for that extra taste.

The pretzel bark sounded great, i love the whole sweet/salty mix, this was a HUGE hit, it went so fast, i should have made loads more.




Best thing about making a ginger bread house is choosing the lollies that go on to it, this year i got a mix called disguises and had Moe's, lips and teeth in it, it was funny, it had to have freckles, and bullets as to me that's a must have, everything else changes to suit each year. She is a little odd shaped and it didn't match to well, but oh well, it was built and decorated. One day i might have one looking like a magazine cover, but til then here is my home made version.

Wedding Day: Part 5: The Cake








Our cake had 1 tier which was sticky date with caramel and  80 cup cakes with four different flavours. The four flavours were: Peanut butter cake with chocolate ganache centre and salted peanut frosting, Vanilla bean with vanilla butter cream, White chocolate mud with raspberry centre and white chocolate butter cream and Dark chocolate mud with dark chocolate ganache. Every guest went home with a cup cake. Everyone loved the cake and cup cakes.
