Perhaps it’s the colour red, perhaps it’s the cream cheese or perhaps it’s the flavours of vanilla and cocoa all in one, but this Red Velvet Brownie ticks all of those boxes and demands a slice right now!

Slices
Pinky Square
I love my slices to have layers for 3 reasons, first because the block colours look amazing, secondly because the layers taste amazing together and thirdly because who doesn’t love all the different flavours and textures. Luckily this Pinky slice ticks all of those boxes!
…Strawberries and Cream Shortcake
The flavour combination of strawberries and cream always brings back nostalgic memories for me. From sprinkling freshly cut strawberries with icing sugar and a drizzle of cream, right through to lollipops of the same flavour that taste just like childhood.
…Peanut Brownie Slice
Kiwi’s love their baking, their biscuits and their slices. One of New Zealand most loved homemade favourites is the timeless Peanut Brownie. There’s no household growing up that didn’t have these nostalgic biscuit lining baking trays, filling cookie jars and lunch boxes. In fact I ran a poll on Baker Gatherer’s Facebook a while back, asking kiwi their favourite homemade biscuits from the Edmonds cookbook. The clear winner was the Peanut Brownie, so I really wanted to celebrate this home classic by creating something new and delicious.
…Caramel Cornflake Brownie
Brownies are one of my favourite things to bake or enjoy when I’m out and about. They can be chocolatey, stuffed or topped with endless creative possibilities. With the many options out there today, I wanted to make my own version of a fudgy brownie base, topped with a chewy cornflake filled caramel.
…Chocolate Chunk Tan Square
After many hours on the road, traveling from Hamilton through to Gisborne as a child for school holidays or family occasions, there were always two highlights to this journey. The first was stopping to enjoy the beaches in Ohope and the second, stopping at a particular cafe in Opotiki just before we entered the Waioeka Gorge. What made this cafe so highly anticipated was their amazing tan slice that was always guaranteed to be in their glass cabinets. In fact, it was always a request to stop in Opotiki before we’d even left Hamilton.
…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.
…Banoffee Square
It’s International Banana Day on April 18th and I’m kicking off the celebrations with a new inspired recipe dedicated to New Zealand’s favourite fruit. In fact we Kiwis love bananas so much that, according to Statistics NZ, we get through 18kg per person per year! That’s more bananas per capita than anywhere else in the world. So for this new recipe I really wanted to celebrate the beloved banana while adding a twist to another popular kiwi slice, the custard square.…
Peanut Butter and Jam Louise Cake
The Louise Cake was a household staple in many kiwi homes, no doubt. There’s something nostalgic about the Louise Cake as it was something my grandmother always made. She liked to make the Louise Cake in muffin tins so that everyone had a single serve, which would save the debate about who got the larger slice.…
