Bongo Brownies

Hello and welcome to this month's baking recipe! For the whole of July I'm focusing on zoos and zoo conservation, so for this this month's bake I was inspired by and animal that is fairly common in zoos but is critically endangered in the wild - the mountain bongo.

Painted Dog No-Bake Cheesecake

Sometimes the best baking recipes are, well, ones that don't actually involve any baking. They're quicker and just easier to do, but still taste great!

I went for a basic vanilla flavoured cheesecake but swirled in some melted dark… Continue reading Painted Dog No-Bake Cheesecake

Casso-berry Chocolate Tarts

My favourite things to bake are the ones that are easy to do and look the prettiest, which is exactly what these white chocolate and berry tarts are!

The tart filling is a delicious white chocolate… Continue reading Casso-berry Chocolate Tarts

Salted Caramel Giraffe Cupcakes

Decorating cupcakes has never been something I'm good at. I just can't seem to pipe icing without it turning into a messy disaster. Luckily with these giraffe inspired cupcakes, decoration isn't needed! I love how the chocolate patches turned out on these cupcakes. I didn't want them looking too neat or identical (as no giraffe… Continue reading Salted Caramel Giraffe Cupcakes
