Hey Lovelies I hope your week has been awesome?! If not, I hope it get's better! Today I just wanted to share with you a few of my chocolate drip cakes and a couple of tips that work for me. Drip cakes are so easy and take some of the stress out of wanting a "perfectly" smooth top. (Yes I have issues!) It really doesn't matter that your top is a little rough because you're going to cover it with yummy chocolate ganache and then decorate it with anything you like! Now, it is most common for drip cakes to be buttercream with the chocolate drip on top but you know me, I am a ganache girl! So all mine are covered in chocolate ganache. I prefer the taste, texture and the durability of a ganache base, and for me, living in a tropical climate I find buttercream melts way too fast!  However which ever one you use to cover your cake these tips will work for both buttercream and ganache. Scroll down for the list. 30th Birthday Chocolate Drip Cake 40t

□○☆* Last night I ended up helping my 11 Year old daughter to make the latest sweet trend inspired by the Squid Game series, using the available tools in our kitchen. [N.B. She has not seen Squid Game as it is rated MA however all her friends talk about it at school] We searched for some recipes but I wasn't about to use a ladle on a naked flame! So as I do, I played around to see what I could use with the existing equipment in my kitchen. ☆  Tip the smaller the frying pan the better. The mixture was so much easier when I switched to the  small 1 egg sized mini frying pan. (see video further down) There were a few fails. If you try this, don't despair at the wonky, burnt or set too fast ones. You must work quickly so naturally some  mishaps will occur. But after you get the hang of it the process becomes really easy!

"I have crossed the horizon to find you I know your name They have stolen the heart from inside you But this does not define you This is not who you are You know who you are" Lyrics from "Moana" Lin-Manuel Miranda and Mark Mancina Ahhh Moana! Such a feel good family story and definitely our family's current favourite Disney Movie! And I will say, my niece is just the cutest when she is belting out songs in the backyard: "My name is Moana!" So it was no surprise that my niece wanted a Moana themed cake! We brainstormed a few ideas which included a quick Google - and anyone who has asked Google for a Moana Cake would have most likely seen the amazing Cynthia White 's Moana inspired Cakes including the most beautiful Heart of Te Fiti  (and not to mention several replicas by other cakers!) To say she is amazing just doesn't seem to give her enough justice. (Oops I feel a cake crush coming on!) Now if anyone knows my cake style by

Hello Cakey Friends! I hope you're having a fantastic Easter long weekend! Thought I would quickly share with you my Easter pancakes. My kids (and husband) love these as a fun family Easter morning breakfast treat! Why not make some for breakfast or lunch this weekend?! I have always wanted to try this out after seeing countless teddy bear faced pancakes in my various news feeds over the years (you have seen them too right?) Well this weekend I FINALLY tried it out. And as you can see it really does work! The trick is to put some of your pancake batter into a piping bag or a sauce bottle. I find the piping bag works best for me (phew another way to justify all my cake decorating equipment purchases to the hubby!) Then p ipe your chosen design onto your low-medium heat greased pan. Let the design cook for a bit until you see the edges starting to brown. Grab a spoon and pour some batter over the top of your precooked cooked design. Cook and flip the pancake as you
