If you’ve ever seen a Piñata cake, you’ll know they’re possibly the coolest cakes around. But this is not a “how to bake a piñata cake” kind of post. I could just as well have titled this post “how not to bake a piñata cake”, or “fudge frosting mistakes”. But Continue Reading

Kicking off 2017: power failures, teaching and culinary developments

February 9, 2017November 15, 2017 Michelle3 Comments

New Year’s Day After a relatively late night (by my standards), New Year’s Day was very relaxed. We slept in and went to Cuellaje briefly. Then we had a late lunch, made empanadas, and sat around chatting. Usually there are some guys playing volleyball nearby in the evenings, but today Continue Reading

I’d initially thought I’d be spending Christmas with my host family, but the weekend before that I made a snap decision to join my friend Linda for a tour in the Amazon rainforest. The tour was from 26 to 29 December, but the bus left Quito at 11pm the night Continue Reading

Trying my hand at: Lavender Butter Cake

September 21, 2015September 12, 2017 Michelle2 Comments

When you think of lavender, what comes to mind? I always associated lavender with potpourri, soap, aromatherapy, etc., so I was really excited when my parents gave me a tin of culinary lavender all the way from Bridestowe Lavender Estate in Tasmania, Australia.

Chocolate is the answer – who cares what the question is? Fresh off a very inspiring red velvet cake baking class, I decided to be adventurous and try a more decorative cake than I usually attempt for my dad’s birthday. After all, it’s a birthday cake, and what better occasion is Continue Reading

Eating Dessert First: Red Velvet Cake Baking Class

August 17, 2015September 12, 2017 Michelle2 Comments
