Cakes & Cupcakes, Recipes / 21.11.2017

When I see a cupcake this cute, I actually don't really care how it tastes. I simply have to make it! I got the inspiration to make these honey cupcakes with cream cheese icing after seeing a similar idea online. As a marvellous stroke of luck I had a beautiful, big jar of eucalyptus honey just waiting to be used in a recipe. Luckily these pretty cupcakes taste as amazing as they look. The honey used in the sponge adds not only flavour, but a soft and moist texture too. A generous beehive swirl of creamy icing sweetens the cupcake perfectly....

If you told me to make a dessert with coconut biscuits, caramel and peppermint chocolate I would say that is way too many flavours in one dish!

Crunchy, nutty and beautifully golden. The perfect accompaniment to your afternoon cuppa! I may have mentioned that my husband hates peanut butter. And I love it. I did some research and can confirm that he is in the minority. 75% of American households stock peanut butter and South Africans consumed over 25000 tons of the stuff last year. So as far as I'm concerned, I have good reason to continue making peanut butter...

Every now and then, an occasion calls for a stunning showstopper of a dessert. I'm talking about a Masterchef-worthy creation! This one is a chocoholic's dream come true. These Triple Chocolate Mousse Domes have a crunchy chocolate biscuit base, creamy milk chocolate mousse filling with a white chocolate ganache centre, and coated in a dark chocolate mirror glaze decorated with caramelised cacao nibs. Could you cram any more chocolate into one dessert? I think not! The five components do take some time to make but all can be made in advance and simply assembled before serving. Ingredients: (Makes 6) Chocolate Biscuits: 90g butter, softened (6tbsp) 100g castor sugar (7...
