Mini egg cheesecake

What better to celebrate Easter with a vanilla cheesecake. I crunched up some mini eggs and mixed them in the cheesecake itself as well as adding mini eggs on top.  For the biscuit base, I used chocolate digestive biscuits.  On reflection,  the classic digestive biscuit base would have been better but I wanted to go with the chocolate theme!

Lemon meringue pie 🥧 😋

A family favourite and the only dessert my husband and I agree on!!  Such a good pudding.  Takes time and effort to make but worth it. 

Red velvet birthday cake

For my niece, Edens 13tj  birthday 🎂 I made a triple layered red velvet cake.  Each layer is filled with vanilla butter icing.

Easter choc chip shortbread

I love Spring and with Easter around the corner, I decided to get my cutting shapes out and make some Easter style shortbread biscuits. To celebrate Fairtrade coffee morning at my work, I used Fairtrade chocolate and sugar in my recipe. I made Chick and Rabbit shaped biscuits!    

Mum's 80th birthday celebrations

Happy big 80th to my mum. As a huge fan of Freddie Mercury,  we used AI to generate a photo of my mum and Freddie and I then used it as a cake topper 🎂!   I made a classic vanilla sponge filled with butter icing and strawberry jam. We had a small family gathering to 🥳 

50th Birthday cake

 A triple layered Victorian sponge cake for a special friend, Caroline 50th birthday.  Despite a transportation issue where the 50 icing stuck  to the lid, I managed to salvage the situation! Butter icing is good for fixing any mistakes or in this case redoing the top of a cake 🎂
