Made two scones to share with my mum for afternoon tea, served with rhubarb compote and softly whipped cream 🥰

Scones always remind me of two things; high school food technology where we spent weeks 'experimenting' but they always turned out rock hard and stodgy 😅 And my favourite roadtrip to the blue mountains with one of my closest friends and her dog, which was cosy and wholesome and just really good quality time Elsa Young ❤️

Did a half batch of Nicola Lamb's base scones recipe which was the perfect amount for two

Miso brown butter sesame choc chip cookies 🍪

Bit late to the miso cookie trend but these have been on my list for a while. I only had red miso at home so I was worried that it would be too salty and overpowering but actually ended up adding more after tasting the cookie dough. It worked really well with the brown butter to add a savoury depth to the cookie base.

I prefer a high cookie:chocolate ratio so these had too much chocolate for me, next time I would make it with half the amount of chocolate to let the flavour shine through.

Made these for some of my favourite people 🥰 Shout out !

Rhubarb almond cake 🌞

Recipe , inspired after seeing give it a glowing review (also my first time trying reverse creaming, beating the flour with the butter made me very uncomfortable but it turned out beautifully!)

Jammy rhubarb coffee cake 🔴🟡🟣

Late on the train but I have had this recipe pinned since I saw it on 's substack. It definitely lived up to the hype - a soft moist crumb, a layer of tart bright rhubarb compote and a sweet salty oat crumble. The crumble is so addictive and I've already made another batch to eat with spoonfuls of leftover rhubarb compote 🤭

Rainy day baking always feels extra cosy, and even more so in jacaranda season when the sun peaks out from the clouds!

Tahini halva brownies 🍫🍫

These are my gold standard brownies, courtesy of the queen . It's the perfect balance between gooey and cakey, the sesame flavour mellows out the overwhelming intensity that that some brownies can have, and the top is perfectly crackly. The base recipe is so versatile and I can imagine it with chunks of nut praline or swirls of salted caramel...

I brought these to a weekend away with friends; we all met through attending and volunteering with a youth leadership program. Spending time with these weird, wonderful, kind and generous humans always reminds me of the goodness and joy in the world 🥰 Shoutout to the best team ! (Highly recommend if you're 18-30 years old 👀)

Matcha cream pudding - a continuation of my matcha blondie saga 🍵🍮

Some of you might have seen my story from last week - I forgot to set a timer, cuddled my dog and ended up falling asleep on his memory foam bed, only to wake up to a very toasty smell 😅

This was my attempt to salvage what I could and it actually turned out surprisingly well! I halved the blondies lengthwise, brushed with a matcha simple syrup then layered it with unsweetened whipped cream. The very overbaked edges were crumbled on top to finish. After sitting in the fridge overnight, the blondies were soft and the whipped cream gave it a pudding like texture. I made it in a tupperware container which might be my new favourite way to make fridge desserts for easy snacking!

Citrus bars 🍋🍋‍🟩🍊

When your mum brings home a bunch of 'lemons' from grandma's tree and it turns out some are actually limes (not just unripe lemons) and some are a strange mandarin lemon hybrid 😅 Then you go down a rabbit hole looking for a lemon bar recipe and find an entire subreddit dedicated to someone's grandma's family recipe being deciphered and tinkered with and shared across the world (r/JustHoodsLemonBars if anyone is interested!). This feels like the point of the internet - strangers across the world who will never meet can share little bits of joy and history with each other 🥰

Matcha blondies! 🍵🫖🌱

I'm not much of a brownie/blondie person but these were so addictive. They had the perfect fudgy dense centre with the crackly top and a strong matcha flavour. I might make them a little thicker next time to really get that fudgy bite but the thinness really contributed to the snackability!

Chocolate, cookies and cream layer cake 🍫🍪

A special birthday request which I had so much fun decorating with edible flowers from my garden!

A reminder that wherever life takes me, it's these little things that make it meaningful - watching things grow, feeding people and having opportunities to be creative. Beautiful spring days and a dog at my feet make it that much sweeter 🥰

Lime loaf cake and sunsets 🍋‍🟩 🌄

Sometimes when I'm walking my dog I try to pinpoint the exact moment it starts to turn dark but try as I might, I get lost in my thoughts or something I see. It's one of those curious things, like falling asleep - when you focus on it, it feels like a imperceptibly slow draining of colour but when forgotten, it's a quick blink and you miss it moment.

I managed to get a quick photo in the dying light as I pulled this loaf out of its tin and it captured that perfect cosy feeling of warm cake, winter days and my dog's content sighs 🥰
