Lemon Meringue Cupcake

August 4, 2019 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Aren’t lemons dreamy, especially lemon curd. In fact any form of lemon inspired baking is a winner in my books, even a bonus if paired with fluffy toasted meringue! With this sound formula, I’ve always wanted to make a zesty cupcake, oozing with lemon curd and topped with charred meringue.

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.

Beer and Pretzel Cupcake

August 27, 2017 By Dane McGregor 1 Comment

Cupcakes don’t always have to be bright and covered in sprinkles and glitter. Not that anything is wrong with that, however for this recipe I wanted to put together a cupcake with a more muted colour palette and incorporate an aspect of masculinity for the guys out there.…

Chocolate Strawberry and Champagne Cupcake

March 6, 2016 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Tim Tam biscuits have been a household kiwi delight for many years. So when Shannon from Be My Light Blog and Instagram approached me wondering if I could collaborate with her on a project she was currently working on, of course I jumped at it.…

Cookie Dough Cupcake

September 26, 2015 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

If you’re a sucker for anything sweet then you need to give this cupcake a whirl. This cupcake really takes me back to when I was younger, waiting for my mum to bake some cookies so I could sneak some of the dough without her noticing. Who would have thought that later in life you could simply buy frozen cookie dough right from your supermarket freezers to eat, or bake if you’re that way inclined.…

Cola Cupcakes

September 1, 2015 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

I’ve personally tried several different cola inspired cupcakes in the past and nothing has really made me think ‘yeah I can taste a cola flavour here’. So I decided to come up with my own cola inspired recipe. Remember nothing can be more satisfying than the drink itself, but these spicy citrus flavours come close! Give it a go.…

Vegan Vanilla Cupcake

August 15, 2015 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for a moist cupcake that ticks by being dairy-free and egg-free, then look no further. I consider myself quite a traditionalist when it comes to baking and ingredients, however my daughter is dairy-free and quite often have her asking me “does that have dairy in it?”. Much to her disappointment the majority of my baking always does, so I occasionally like to take the time and make these cupcakes for her. Always a winner!

Apple Pie and Custard Cream Cupcake

August 9, 2015 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

This cupcake is a twist on a classic family desert, apple pie with custard. A lightly spiced cake, filled with apple in the center, topped with a whipped custard cream and topped with some crispy flake pastry and icing sugar. You can either stew your own apples for the filling, however this time around I brought a can of pie filling – does the same job. The custard cream is also something a little different, it’s somewhere in between whipped cream and buttercream and tastes absolutely delicious.

 I’ll share a link in my profile.

This just in, I made all of these ones myself. Also, If you saw on the telly, @griffinsbiscuits featured on an episode of TVNZ 2’s Snack Masters, where the iconic ToffeePops took centre stage for the food gurus to recreate this kiwi classic. 

Griffins challenged me to try making them from the comfort of my own home too, consider it ‘Snack Masters at Home - Dane Edition’. Obviously I accepted the challenge to recreate their ToffeePops here at home and I’m pretty impressed with how they turned out.

Now if you have a craving for ToffeePops, it’s also good to know their perfectly proportioned bikkies are still kiwi made and smothered in 5 roll refined and Rainforest alliance certified chocolate. Now that’s worth all that toffee goodness!

How much do you love ToffeePops?
