Anzac Biscuits (Two Ways)
Today is Anzac Day in Australia and New Zealand which marks the anniversary of both countries' first major military action during World War I. The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) landed at Gallipoli on this day in 1915 and suffered major casualties through to the end of that year when the allied forces were evacuated from…
Chocolate Rose Biscuits – High Tea Series (Part 2)
I am quite addicted to piping a rose pattern having honed my skills on a wedding cake, a cake for the local Inner Wheel group as well as on the top of cupcakes. So why not use the same technique for biscuits? The blog that inspired the rose pattern posted some Neapolitan Spritz Cookies earlier this year and I knew straight away that I had to…
Christmas Candy Cane Whoopie Pies – Daring Bakers Challenge
For this month's Daring Bakers Challenge, it was time for me to try something that I had been wanting to for a while now.

Once I spied the beautiful pictures on…
Snickerdoodles

So I headed over to Sally's website, Sally's Baking Addiction, and did a search for Snickerdoodles and a number of recipes…
Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie
At my primary school, we often had a day or week where a particular country was the focus. One year was the United States and in the newsletter that came around there was a recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies. As the recipe is for the most ridiculously good Chocolate Chip Cookie, since then it has been the only version that has ever been made…
