Recipes



When I originally designed this blog I had a completely different layout plan, and I no longer need a "recipe tab" as there are way too many recipes to mention here. So I have changed things around a bit and only a couple of my most frequently requested ones are listed here.
Please click around the rest of the site to find other new and interesting recipes.

Edible Glue Recipe:

1/4 tea spoon of  CMC
30ml of boiled cooled water
small seal-able container 
Mix water and powder in the container. It will look lumpy at first. Leave overnight in the fridge,  the CMC will dissolve into a clear thick gel. When not in use store in the refrigerator.  Only last 1-2 weeks so it's important to only make small batches to avoid wastage. 

 Use the glue to attach dried sugar decorations. Use water to thin it down a little if it is too thick.
* Replacing the water with decorators alcohol will also work and aids in a longer shelf life of your glue.

You will find my preferred butter-cream recipe here. 

Due to Living in Tropical North Queensland I do not use an all butter recipe and have tweaked other recipes to suit my needs.

What's got me so fired up and excited you ask?  Drum Roll Please..... Coloured Ganache! Yes you read read right! Coloured ganache, is what's got me excited! I am so in cakey love with the whole concept right now! You see not everyone likes fondant, not everyone can cover a cake without the dreaded elephant skin, the cracks, and rounded edges when trying to achieve sharp edges. And you know what, some days fondant just doesn't want to play the game! Personally I find fondant to be quite moody and often find myself arguing with her at 1am in the morning! Eeek! However I am good at setting up my ganache. Actually I am pretty darn good! I have mastered getting it smooth - yep I like to think I am awesome at this, but nothing breaks my heart more than ruining that perfect finish with
