There’s something about the scent of rose that instantly feels familiar to me. 🌹

Rose has such a beautiful place in Turkish culture in our sweets, our gardens, our fragrances and so many of the little rituals I grew up around. So when I tried the new Essences Petal Soft Rose Shampoo & Conditioner, I knew I wanted to turn that soft, delicate rose scent into something sweet.

I made a pistachio sponge layered with strawberry rose cream, pistachio ganache and Turkish rose jam, then finished it with soft chocolate rose petals coloured using Colour Mill oil colours. A little edible love letter to one of my favourite flavours and scents.

And maybe that’s the reminder too, to slow things down a little. Enjoy the hair care routine, sit down with a slice of cake, or simply take a moment to smell the roses. 🌹

Cypriot Tavuklu Nohutlu Pilav (Chicken & Chickpea Rice Pilaf) and always use a FAT chicken, you’re welcome.

Ingredients

For the chicken
* 1 whole chicken or bone-in chicken pieces
* 1 white onion, peeled and halved
* 2 bay leaves
* 1 tsp whole black peppercorns
* 1–2 tsp Vegeta, to taste
* Water, enough to cover the chicken

For the pilav
* 2 cups medium or long grain rice
* 1/2 cup vermicelli or short noodles
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 1 x 400 g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
* Approximately 3 cups reserved chicken cooking liquid
* Salt, if needed

Method
1. Place the chicken into a large pot with the onion, bay leaves, peppercorns and Vegeta. Cover with water and gently poach until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
2. Remove the chicken and set aside. Strain the cooking liquid and reserve it, this becomes the broth for the pilav.
3. Wash the rice well until the water runs mostly clear, then drain.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the noodles and fry, stirring often, until deeply golden.
5. Add the washed rice and stir through the noodles for a minute or two.
6. Pour in the reserved chicken broth and add the drained chickpeas. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat, cover and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
7. While the rice cooks, place the poached chicken pieces onto a tray and roast in a hot oven until the skin is golden and slightly crisp.
8. Cut or pull the chicken into generous pieces and arrange over the cooked chickpea pilav.

Serve warm with a fresh salad and lots of yoghurt on the side.

I swear baking and making desserts brings out a whole different level of perfectionism. You can be so happy with it and still spot the one tiny thing you’d change. At some point, you just have to let it be finished 🤣

Nothing quite like a lemon meringue pie 🍋🥧

Always make time for the things that make you feel happy and alive. 🩷

Cake decorating was, and still is, such a huge part of my life. Somehow, it’s evolved into this crazy little reality where I get to play with sugar and chocolate, create beautiful things, share them with people I love and an online community, and work with some truly incredible brands and people.

And it’s still evolving, and I’m learning that evolving means moving forward, not staying still. But growth doesn’t come without a little grief too, grieving the versions of ourselves, our lives and our dreams that helped get us here.

I’m so excited for what’s ahead, and so grateful that I get to feel this kind of happy and alive again. 🩷🙏🏽

Cake & conversation for R U OK? Day 💛 I’ve been creating this series for a while now, and nothing resonates more with me than having these open conversations over cake and dessert.

This Thursday is R U OK? Day, and sometimes the hardest part is simply knowing how to start the conversation.

So we’re making a little space for cake, connection and checking in with the people around us. No pressure, no perfect words needed, just a gentle reminder to slow down, sit together and ask, “Are you okay?”

Sometimes a cup of tea, a slice of cake and a kind conversation can mean more than we realise. 💛
