Chocolate Cake

So I've dropped the ball on daily updates. Perhaps I should have started weekly updates, then I'd have plenty of favourite things to write about.

Either way, when I remember something that makes me smile ear to ear I'll post about it.

Right now it's this chocolate cake that I'm making for my Godchild's first birthday this coming weekend. I haven't made this cake in years but it's the only one I think of when someone asks for chocolate cake. It's beyond delicious. It's sinful. Soooooooo good. Enjoy.

Butter Tarts

I am aware that eating butter tarts for dinner wasn't the best of ideas this evening but damn it, they are so delicious.

I'm pretty sure they are one of my top favourite desserts of all time.

But they have to be home made. With love. Especially if it's by one of my favourite little bakers - thank you for those!

Try your hand at these, but leave the oven on because the first batch will not last long.

K&D

Kenny and Dolly. That's right, I said it.

I absolutely love my Kenny & Dolly - Islands in the Stream. Priceless.

But mostly, the K&D 'Once Upon A Christmas' album is pure joy. Pure joy I tell you.

You can download this for all of $5.99 on iTunes, and seriously, it will make your Christmas even more enjoyable.
