A man cake for a change! Went a bit crazy with the chocolate but can there ever really be too much of it?! This one is 3 layers of vanilla bean cake, frosted with my favourite chocolate Italian meringue buttercream! birthday

A fair amount of snacking always happens in the holidays especially when it’s chilly outside! These were all pretty healthy though. Mushroom pate, beetroot hummus and sourdough herb crackers! Niagara-on-the-Lake on New Year’s Day!

Chocolate & orange is always a great combo at Christmastime! Drink the sweet juice, crystallise the peel & dip in chocolate! The best South African oranges were used for these.

These chocolate salamis are a combination of all the things I love at this time of year- Belgian chocolate, brandy soaked dried @& candied fruit, toasted nuts & hand cut cookies, to name some of the ingredients. The taste is worth the time and effort it takes to make them! Note to self - start earlier & make more next Christmas! 🎄

Over the past months so many posts have been about Dubai chocolate, cheesecake, bars & cookies, so I had to try a dessert using a combination of pistachio paste, nuts, chocolate, cookies, cream cheese, dairy free whipping cream & Kataifi pastry! | used all vegan ingredients except for some milk powder in the pistachio paste! The Kataifi was mixed with melted plant butter and icing sugar, baked until light brown & mixed with pistachio paste. The dessert was delicious, creamy, crunchy and totally decadent.

Even though I’m not a cookie baker as such, I always make a couple as giveaways every year! I didn’t have a Christmas gnome cutter so I used a Christmas tree cookie cutter and added an extra piece of sugar cookie dough for his hat. I attached a ribbon to the back of the cookie so it can be hung on the tree!

A festive hostess gift for a friend who loves chocolate! Using a Vegan Hazelnut chocolate bar, I made some extra chocolate pinecones & a bauble, all filled with vegan truffle brandy mixture. Greenery made with salted roasted pumpkin seeds.
