Happy Easter everyone! How was your day? Lots of chocolate, I suppose? What with Easter being a perfect holiday for delicious baked goods, I figured I had to bake something scrumptious this weekend. My mind went immediately to a carrot cake, a bake I’d never made before and seemed perfect for Easter. I think the thought process […]

Last Saturday, a day after my deadline, I had a lovely high tea with four of my high school friends at a place called ‘t Feithhuis in my home town. For €15,50 per person we had a nice assortment of baked goods and sandwiches, and man, were we stuffed at the end! It was actually […]

My midterms are over! Especially this last week was quite stressful, with the deadline for my research paper on Friday. But I made it, and I’m quite pleased with how my essay turned out.

Today my aunt was having a high tea for her birthday, and I thought it would be nice to bake something sweet and simple to bring with me. I didn’t feel like baking my usual brownies, but I thought something like it would be perfect, so I made blondies! I’d never made blondies (“blond brownies” […]

One of my best friends spent the whole of last semester in Newcastle, studying abroad. I really missed her, and am glad she’s back again so we can get back to watching (Disney) films, drinking tea and talking for ages. She’s been back since the start of this semester and on Tuesday she texted me […]

As I’ve mentioned before, baking has a therapeutic effect on me; it calms me down and destresses me. When I need that kind of baking therapy I usually go for a muffin recipe, and that is what happened last week. I don’t know what it is about muffins, but I find them very calming. That […]

Yesterday I thought it would be a good idea to try and make meringues for the first time ever. I was staying with my parents, and they had friends coming over, so some meringues would make a nice treat to go with a cup of coffee, I figured. I looked up a nice recipe on […]
