Butterscotch Ice Cream

Ice cream is so simple to make sometimes.. Hopefully I will have an ice cream maker soon and will be able to be more adventurous and make ice cream which is less ice crystally....


Anyways, my mum gave me a little recipe book she got in scotland of scottish tea time recipes..
There's lots of recipes for biscuits and scones and stuff, but also this Butterscotch ice cream recipe!
Very tasty! and wholesome! and Buttery!

Crunchy Celtic Coconut Pecan Cake

Nooooow.... I THINK the centre of this cake MAY have gone uncooked...
But, I also think it might have been the topping that just sunk it an moistened the cake..
Either way, it's very tasty and coconut makes everything so delicious! AND brown sugar.. mm



Besides, a little raw egg never killed anyone, right?

Challah!

I made more Challah, only this time, I used organic, stoneground wheat flour and it was a deeper, more flavourful result... Very nice for an egg salad sandwich as it turns out!



Challah Challah - and isn't white flour not good for you?

Red Velvet Cupcakes

This weekend, I was commissioned to make Red Velvet cupcakes for a wrap party!
The red batter is so much fun and the cream cheese frosting is so good. I'm realizing the best things are so simple - the frosting is just cream cheese, butter and some vanilla. AND icing sugar, of course..



I have lots of left over frosting so I'm going to make another velvet cake... although I'm out of red food colouring... I can't decided which coloured cake would be the most appetizing: blue, green or yellow.. Let me know what you think!

Caramel Apples

This Halloween I made Caramel apples for a party we were having.
I found a recipe which uses only equal parts honey and heavy cream and a pinch of salt!
Pas pire, non?


They were very chewy, a little difficult to eat, but quite yummy.
Also, caramel apples are festive and not something people have every day!
