Merry Christmas Eve 2013!
And what a pretty dozen we made... We pretty much covered all things Christmas-y this holiday with the one exception of Cupcakes! Arguably, we saved the best till last (or last minute!). Fancy a Christmas Pudding but not a fan on the real deal? Pudding Cupcake! Wanted a Winter Wonderland this year? Snowflake...

Perhaps less known that the its more extravagant sister the Pavlova? But still popular. A twist on this and we've included TWO layers of vanilla sponge and TWO thick layers of Cointreau creme patisserie . Sound delectable?

Croquembouche!
Not nearly as extravagant as the french pastry chefs and the traditional french wedding cake but pretty good for a very very first attempt! Although did burn a couple of fingers in the process. Ouchy! No pain, no gain, no hard lessons learnt! Definitely won't be making the same mistakes twice... Would love to try making...

Gym Junkies
We've been pretty busy at Wynwyn's lately (on top of our other job!). And we're taking it one order, one week at a time. And we still get time leftover to enjoy the sunshine and weekends. It's Sydney Good Food Month and there's heaps out there. Gave the noodle markets a miss this year but we're definitely going to try...

C is for Cookie!
Chocolate Fudge Confetti and ANZAC! (Maybe if you spell it backwards, it can also start with "C"!). These are a great favor idea! Or gift idea. In this case, we've made 12 bags of these yummy cookies as gifts to take overseas. Genius idea! Personally, I would much rather receive something thoughtful, delicious...

Football finals are upon us!

Vanilla & Marshmallow Cupcakes
Mid-week (most of your might refer to it as 'hump' day). And what better way to give flower than to give edible blooms? Pretty pastel (and rather bold red hues) cupcakes. We've got a fair bit going on here with the butterflies and mini daisies to the hand-made flowers with edible pearls. Sure to brighten up the rest...

Japonaise
Not Japanese! It's actually French-inspired. Layers of delicate almond meringue in between smooth velvety layers of coffee buttercream and finished off with toasted almonds. It's unlike any other cake you've tried before. Light, crunchy, chewy and flavorsome. And perfects, for those limited not by choice but by...

Timeless
When it comes to toys, Lego has been around and around the block (no pun intended!). It's probably one of those items you'll always find in the toys section of a department store and always jumped on by kids. I was asked to make a 11th birthday cake this weekend and it was between Lego and Minecraft. I wouldn't be...

Sunday Tea Time
If you first don't succeed, try try again. And again. And again... MACARONS! Still the rage around town and to be honest, can probably say that they are still our Achille's Heel! Having said that, I did read an article not so long ago that professional bakeries and patisseries throw out approximately 20% of every...

Not your average Cheesecake!
It almost felt like being on MasterChef and the Sunday Night Invention Test! Was given the last of creating a cake for a farewell in the office this week and there was no brief! I could do anything i wanted! I knew I wanted to make a cheesecake. And I knew most of the people in the office weren't keen on dense,...
