The Best Sweatshirt Ever

So for a couple of months now I have been on the lookout for the ultimate sweatshirt. They are the perfect winter item. Warm, comfy, and, when worn with the right shirt and accessories, extremely pleasing on the eyes.

Finding one in South Africa is another story though.

They do not exist. (At least in my humble opinion)

I have found some mock imitation ones, especially at Mr Price, and even Pick 'n Pay clothing. But most of the time they are embellished with sequins or jewels or some crappy printed comment like "Love" or "Smile" or "Cutest Girlfriend". WTF.

Mojo Madness

Not only is my brother my biggest fan and follower, he also loves all things sweet, so making him a cake was the least I could do. 

Party Presents

I have a large family.

They are a lovely family.

A warm, friendly, caring, special family.

I don't need many friends.

But that is because I have family. 

Chocolate Eclair Cupcakes

These were heavenly!

Funfetti Fudge

 Its been an exciting past couple of days and I have been all over the place!

In the spirit of colour (being spring and the fact that I have newly dyed pink hair), I decided to make some brightly coloured, very easy, tasty vanilla fudge.

Baking myself Better

I am not sure what it is but baking always makes me feel better. It cures anything and everything.

What cake shall it be?

The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownie Toffee Treat

From me to you (in a bit)

Due to a lack of monetary resources I have resorted to blogging about my inspirations with regards to baking. These are the things that have and do inspire me or shape my baking thoughts.

Soon to come is a whole wonderland of treats and delicacies, right out of my kitchen.

Kitchen Philli

I like being in the kitchen. I like the warmth of the stove turned on to the perfect cooking temperature. I like pulling all my ingredients out and spreading them over the counter in anticipation. I like using different bowls, different cutlery, different whisks, different sieves. I like using chocolate. I like using butter.

I like baking. I don’t cook. I bake.

This is me.
