White Chocolate Wattleseed Cake + Passionfruit Cur White Chocolate Wattleseed Cake + Passionfruit Curd

I caught her dancing to this tune while I was in the middle of shooting. I guess who could blame her - wouldn’t you be pretty happy too if you were smothered in velvety soft wattleseed-infused frosting and drizzled with all that glorious passionfruit curd? 😉 

Recipe on the blog - link in profile (minus those cute dance moves).

White Chocolate Wattleseed Cake + Passionfruit Cur White Chocolate Wattleseed Cake + Passionfruit Curd.

This delightful recipe was inspired by the bloom of sunshine yellow wattle flowers dotting the Australian landscape, heralding the start of spring.

Native Australian wattleseed imparts a delicately warm, nutty aroma that compliments the white chocolate cake layers, while the roasted macadamias provide a subtle crunch. A layer of tangy passionfruit curd not only brightens and balances out the sweetness, but poetically mirrors the vibrant wattle hue.

Recipe created and shot for @harrisfarmmarkets and up on the blog now (link in profile) 💕

It’s not a cake, but it was just too pretty not It’s not a cake, but it was just too pretty not to share.

I took a stroll around the neighbourhood last weekend with my six-year old; he wanted to take pictures with his mini Polaroid camera at golden hour.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We walked around, hand in hand, admiring the hints of spring beginning to appear in our neighbours’ gardens. The wattle trees that have sprung into sunshine yellow bloom. The magnolias eager to shed their warm winter coats. And the unassuming bushes of camellias flaunting their pastel pink petals. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This particular blossom caught the evening light, and my eye, as we meandered past. Good evening, she nodded, her ruffles glittering as she basked in her golden glow. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Isn’t she a beauty?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And within a day or two her petals will brown and gently fall to the garden floor like her sisters, in the inevitable ebb and flow of the seasons 💕
