The intrigue of a single cake moment frozen in time 💕

Where swirling smoke trails whisper secret birthday wishes and salted caramel drips are forever suspended.

Where reality bleeds into art and back again.

Where a photo conjures up memories from the crevices or stirs those with joy floating right at the top.

Where you can take a moment to just breathe and witness the beauty.

This is my little ode to you, my cake, and the joy of photography.

A little baking inspiration today for all my fello

A little baking inspiration today for all my fellow fig lovers out there.

Is it just me or are figs one of the prettiest and most delicious fruits in existence? Doesn’t it look like the sun is setting right in the centre of this stunning fig?

I love figs dearly, they come so perfectly packaged from nature. It does mean, however, they are usually devoured well before I have the chance to bake with them, let alone photograph them!

Occasionally I have a few extra that make their way into my cakes and desserts. Even then, I have a tendency to just slice them into slivers. Any extra fussing or cooking (apart from a quick brûlée for the very underripe ones), often never matches up to the flavour and beauty gifted straight from nature.

Whether you prefer pairing them with rosewater and pistachio, blackberries, spiced pomegranate syrup, salted caramel, ricotta and honey, orange and ginger, labneh or anything in between, you can find your favourite fig recipe on the blog. Swipe for some beautiful ideas 💕

And I would love to know what’s your favourite way to enjoy the humble fig? One of these or do you have your own personal favourite? 😊

Step inside the most magical place 🌻

I had the pleasure of attending the @kalbarsunflowers festival recently and was truly blown away by the breathtaking beauty of these majestic flowers. It’s one of those sights you think really can’t be as pretty as the pictures, but when you’re immersed in hundreds of thousands of flowers as tall as you, it really does feel like you’re walking right in the middle of a sunflower dream 😊

An amazing event that last year was the biggest fundraiser for the @cancercouncilqld!

How about you? Are you a sunflower lover? 🌻
