Bread and Butter Pudding




As per the fortnightly family dinner, mum made another fantastic dessert- bread and butter pudding with panettone.

"Why isn't my bowl full yet, eh?"


I love panettone but only really get to eat it around xmas. It tastes like it has some kind of booze in it. Perhaps it's just the raisins fermenting?




It might look a but gloopy there, but it's delicious!

Green Tea and Azuki Buns



My very favourite place to get sweets is Bread Top. One of my favourite things to buy from there is a bag of the green tea and sweet red bean paste buns.
They also make a purple bun with taro inside and almonds on top.

They are heaven! $4 a bag!

I'm interested to make my own. Surely you can buy azuki paste in Box Hill.

Iced Berry Tea



Today my friend took my boyfriend and I into Theobroma Chocolate Lounge in Knox Ozone. I'd never been there before. It was pretty hot so I got a lovely berry iced tea. It was so refreshing!
The chocolates there look amazing and will definitely be featured here some time in the future. There was a chocolate that looked like a ceramic tile.
They have chocolate spoons. White, milk and dark chocolate spoons! Come the bitter, permafrost, Melbourne winter, I'm sure that I will be enjoying a hot chocolate and white chocolate spoon there.

Lemon Tart



Every second Monday everyone goes to my mum's house for dinner. She always makes an awesome dessert and last night she made that. It was amazing! It melted in my mouth!



The recipe came from a gluten-free dessert cookbook.

Choc-Chip and Coconut Cheesecake



This entirely appetising cheesecake was for my boyfriend's birthday. It was incredibly rich, as you'd expect from The Cheesecake Shop!
Every slice was so indulgent. You have to pace yourself with a food like that!

Fruit and Custard Tart



The moment I saw these in the Nagambie bakery I had to have one. You can see why!



If you're ever driving through Nagambie you should stop and get one of these charming little tarts and eat it by the beautiful Nagambie River.

Vanilla Cupcakes



These cupcakes are just regular vanilla, but they were great! The frosting was basically just butter and sugar. I had a great time making and eating these.
Pink cupcakes are so inviting!

Summer Pudding



An enticing dessert made by my aunt Paula.

Chocolate Zucchini Cake



This delicious chocolate zucchini cake was baked by my aunt Leah. I haven't tried making my own yet, but I will some time.

I never knew that chocolate and zucchini would go together so well!
