Bongo Brownies

Hello and welcome to this month's baking recipe!

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! This was my first attempt at a no-bake cheesecake and wow did it turn out amazing! 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

Victoria Crowned Sandwich Cakes

A Victoria sandwich cake is a British classic. It's always one of my favourite types of cake to bake. Simple but so good... I thought I'd try to change it up a little (surprise surprise) by making little mini cakes instead of the classic round cake. Cutting it into little rectangles made the cakes look… Continue reading Victoria Crowned Sandwich Cakes

The upside down cake is a well known classic cake but I've never actually had one before, let alone made one!

Most upside down cakes seem to be pineapple but I… Continue reading Citrus Upside Down Cake

I originally cut the dough out using a… Continue reading Hornbill Heart Cookies
