Day 3 – Marshmallow Snowflakes

Posted on December 3, 2014 by The Pink Whisk

These seem to be all over the place in the shops at Christmas time so I thought it was time I figured out how we do them at home – and it’s easier than I thought.

Day 2 – Gingerbread Reindeer Barns

Posted on December 2, 2014 by The Pink Whisk

How much fun are these? When Lindt sent me a chocolate delivery (yes I know, that’s a great delivery to get) I knew I had to come up with something Christmassy – there was no way I was melting those Reindeer down for truffles!

A big thank you from me goes to the lovely Sam at Sams Kitchen for the inspiration for this cake, when I was at a complete loss for what to make for my Dad’s 60th birthday Sam came to the rescue.

Inspired to Bake? #GBBO

Posted on October 9, 2014 by The Pink Whisk

Wow what a final on #GBBO last night! Congratulations Nancy!!

All the finalists did so brilliantly well they would all have made worthy winners.

I’m going to give a special mention to Luis, as we both live in Poynton – it must be a hive of baking ability – hopefully third time lucky Poynton will conquer with a winner 😉 Luis’ blog is here www.luistroyano.com

Chocolate Amaretto Schichttorte & Cashew Baklava

Posted on October 3, 2014 by The Pink Whisk

It’s not often I get to bake something a little bit different from the norm but these two #StorkTwist recipes delivered it in bucket loads.

First up a Chocolate Amaretto Schichttorte – the method looks a little daunting, baked in layers under the grill but I have to say I loved baking it and loved eating it too!
