Vanilla Sprinkle Cake (Gluten-Free)

3rd May, 2015 By: Cathcomment

A couple of years ago a tutorial from The Cake Blog appeared in my Pinterest feed for a DIY Rainbow Sprinkle Cake. Of course I pinned it straight away, but in true Cath fashion, it has taken a couple of years to actually have a go at it.

I did not make the cake in rainbow colours as Kate from The Greedy Baker did in the tutorial as I was going to have five macaron colours to match the cake (however in the end, I only ended up with two) but as there would be a few gluten intolerant folks consuming this cake I converted my favourite vanilla cake recipe into a gluten-free version so no one was left out.

Jaffa Macarons

28th December, 2014 By: Cathcomment

I had grand illusions of another macaron tower recently with five brightly coloured, different flavour macarons to go with a sprinkle cake I was making. One would be the old favourite of Cherry Ripe Macarons, and the other four brand new ones I have had on my wish list to make.

Well for three of them I made the buttercream, but that was as far as I got, but one did end up with its shells and I am glad they did because I was very happy with how these Jaffa Macarons turned out.

Chocolate Macarons

4th May, 2014 By: Cath8 Comments

Following the Easter long weekend, the hubby and I took the following week off as well to enjoy a short break. Whilst we went away over Easter, when we returned home we pottered around the house and had a little stay-cation. Of course I had big plans of catching up on the ironing, sorting out some of the kitchen cupboards and cooking a whole bunch of meals to put in the freezer, but alas, none of that eventuated.

The kitchen did end up getting a bit of a workout last weekend so stay tuned to the blog over the next few weeks as there is some deliciousness in store for you my friends.

First on the agenda was a batch of macarons. It has been over six months since my last macaron post, and on this occasion I thought I would whip up a batch of simple, but very tasty, Chocolate Macarons.

Seed Mixture (ALPS Blend)

13th April, 2014 By: Cathcomment

Way back in 2012, there was a health and wellbeing initiative called the 1 Million Kilo Challenge where Australians were encouraged to sign up and receive meal and exercise plans to collectively shed, you guessed it, one million kilograms.

I signed up to a team with some friends and family with one recipe sticking with me for the years since. It isn’t a crazy, full on recipe, something rather simple with so many uses. In the meal plan they called it the ALPS Blend, but the hubby and I simply call it Seed Mixture and eat it everyday.

Salted Caramel Macarons

22nd September, 2013 By: Cath15 Comments

One of the most popular flavours around these days is salted caramel. I see it in tarts, biscuits, cupcakes and certainly macarons. So when B requested Salted Caramel Macarons for her part of the 30th birthday macaron tower, I was excited to give it a go.

There are numerous recipes out there for salted caramel macarons, and the one I used was from one of my 100+ cookbooks being Secrets of Macarons by José Maréchal. It is an awesome little book with lots of info on how to make these fiddly little things and I refer to it regularly.

Orange and Almond Cake

25th August, 2013 By: Cath2 Comments

Where I work, on your birthday you bring in a cake to share with everyone but if truth be told, any day is a good day for cake in our office. Recently it was K’s birthday and the cake she made was an Orange and Almond cake. After the first few bites, there were a few requests for the recipe and I decided to give this moist, gluten free cake a go myself last weekend.

Fruit Tingle Macarons

30th June, 2013 By: Cath22 Comments

The hubby and I were off to spend a few days with friends and as the hubby was taking some of his home made beef and pork jerky for P (the boys love their jerky), I thought I would take something sweet for B seeing as how sugar is our weakness. Given it has been a while since I last made macarons I thought it was a good time to whip up one of the varieties that I had on my macaron Pinterest board for a while now.

Steph from Raspberri Cupcakes, a blog I have been following for years now and was the inspiration for the Checker Board and Honeycomb Cake as well as the Snowmen Macarons on my White Christmas Cake, has used a fruit tingle icing for an orange cake and then also used it to top some passionfruit cupcakes, with the leftovers being used for some macarons. I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them and knew that the upcoming trip would be the perfect opportunity to make some fruit tingle macarons of my own.

Roast Pumpkin Soup

9th June, 2013 By: Cath2 Comments

Winter for me means soup and one soup I make every winter, and occasionally at other times during the year, is Roast Pumpkin Soup. Pumpkin has to be one of my favourite vegetables, with butternut pumpkin by far my favourite variety. I could eat roasted butternut pumpkin until the end of time but I would probably start to look like one after a while so best not.

You can certainly make this soup with any pumpkin you have on hand, and on this particular day I had a large Jarrahdale pumpkin that we had been given by a local farmer as I was saving the butternut he had also given us for a vegetable lasagne.

White Chocolate Panna Cotta with Rose Water Syrup

21st May, 2013 By: Cath21 Comments

To mark the first year since I started my current job, I made white chocolate panna cotta with rose water syrup and took it in to share with my colleagues. Since then, I have been encouraged to make it again and so after another two and a bit years I finally did (no need to rush these things).

For a morning tea we were having to mark the upcoming wedding of one of the women in the office, a request was made for me to bring something sweet and after suggesting this dessert to the bride to be, I didn’t need to go through any of the other options I had in mind.

The timing also worked out well as the ingredient for the next Get Your Chef On hosted by White Lights on Wednesday and Four Marrs One Venus was announced and it was chocolate. It was all too perfect so I signed up to participate.

Spiced Apple Sauce

24th February, 2013 By: Cath4 Comments

As you have probably gathered, the hubby loves his pork. Whether it is in a pie, soup or just roasted, the man loves pork. One night he was having crumbed pork cutlets (which his awesome vegetarian wife discovered at the local butcher) and forgot to pick up the apple sauce from the supermarket so he grabbed a couple of apples from the fruit bowl, spices from the pantry and had a go at making his own. Needless to say we won’t be going back to the supermarket for apple sauce again.
