If you’re wanting to add a little colour or a new twist to your Easter celebrations this year or want to try something other that the original spice fruit hot cross buns, then you’ve come to the right place.
…Red Velvet Hot Cross Buns
Hot Cross Bun Cupcake
Easter comes with its own special flavours and traditions. For many, the hot cross bun is both symbolism as well as a delicious fruit spiced rolls. For what ever it means to you, we can all agree that nothing can beat a warm hot cross bun with butter.
…Crème Brûlée Square
Imagine if you could take the humble kiwi custard square to the next level, add a vanilla biscuit base, amp up the smooth vanilla custard and finish off with the cracking sound of caramelised sugar on top.
Cookies and Cream Brownie
I still remember the first time I was introduce to the Oreo cookie (we’re talking quite some time ago now), and all I can remember is how could something so bite-sized be so delicious and morish, stopping at a couple was nearly impossible.
…Praline Cream Tart
A lot can be learnt from the French when it comes to baking and cuisine.

Orange Chocolate Almond Cake
