Remember when I baked this mango tart for my father’s birthday a few weeks ago? That wasn’t enough to feed my entire family, so I had to think of a second cake to bake. The decision was easily made — I had never made a Victoria sponge cake, and figured it was high time I did […]

One of my blogging resolutions for 2015 was to start doing a monthly recap of all my blog posts and life and books in general. I was planning on posting the first one on Saturday, but due to some unexpected stuff happening I didn’t get around to it. So, here it is, finally!

January has always been a busy month in my family, since we’ve got four birthdays to celebrate (my cousin, my grandmother, my father and my aunt). We usually celebrate at least two or three of these birthdays at the same time, because, well, it’s convenient! This year, this celebration took place at my parents’ house, which […]

Since we celebrated Christmas over at my aunt and uncle’s, I had to make something that was relatively easy to transport. Besides that, I also needed to make sure it didn’t involve any chocolate, […]

Every year, at the beginning of November, my parents’ church organises a jumble sale to raise money for charity. It’s always loads of fun, because everyone’s working together for a good cause which makes for an amazing atmosphere. Besides selling all kinds of second hand stuff, there’s also a lottery with a wheel of fortune and tons […]

Now that summer is definitely over, I’m starting to crave those typically autumnal/wintery bakes again: cinnamon infused, aromatic cakes filled with plenty of nuts. Oh, who am I kidding, I crave those flavours all throughout the year. But now I have a good excuse to actually act on them again! This weekend I baked this beautiful bundt cake, […]

I turned 21 on Tuesday, and of course I needed to bake something for the occasion. What’s a birthday without some home made sweetness to munch on? I had a lovely dinner with my parents, grandparents and aunt on Monday, and made an absolutely delicious crumble for dessert. It included all kinds of berries and […]
