Once again it was the hubby’s friend J’s birthday, you may remember him from the Purple Corset Cake, which meant something mint flavoured was on the menu. Although I was considering trying something new this year, in the end I stuck with an oldie but a goodie being a mint cheesecake chock full of Peppermint Crisp and crème de menthe liqueur on top of a nice, thick, Oreo base.
Hummingbird Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
When there is a birthday at the hubby’s work, one of the women in his office is the dedicated birthday cake maker.
For one of the recent birthdays, she was unavailable so I was asked to make the birthday cake for D. The cake chosen was one I haven’t made before, being a Hummingbird Cake with Cream Cheese Icing, but it was super simple and went down a treat with everyone, most importantly the birthday girl.
Christmas Pudding Oreo Truffles
On the last day of work before we shut down until after New Year, there is a morning tea. Last time around I made Marshmallow Christmas Trees and this year was going to stick with the “treat on a stick” theme and make some Oreo pops. However, they didn’t want to stay on the sticks so ended up being Oreo truffles instead, decorated like a Christmas pudding.
