Turkish!!

One saturday morning I came in to work to realise that we have a new supplier trying to get into our shelves.. they were selling cupcakes and such but one flavour stood out for me.

Rose and Lavender cupcake.

Now I have not been so motivated to make cakes since after the competition and I have been dying for some inspiration for some new flavours rather than the usual, banana, hummingbird and mudcake that I do. So when the previous Better Homes & Gardens magazine came out to feature Mother's Day and they had a recipe for a Rose butter cake .. I simply must try it. and so I did. with some extra Turkish Delight & White Chocolate goodies!!

Domesticating Natali...

So tonight, I was looking through my photo albums and I found a little treasure!

This day was from probably around a few months ago during summer in which I decided to help my bestfriend, Natali become somewhat domesticated... Now this girl does know how to cook (trust me hands down BEST Chicken Tikka Masala in town!) but with baking .. not so much. She's been obsessing over these Lemon Polenta Cakes at work and when I saw a Manna from Heaven cookbook, I just had to get it and make it with her!
