RECIPE: Lotus Biscoff Loaded Caramel Swirl Ice-Cream

Lotus Biscoff Cookie Spread is a thing of dreams and almost always a guaranteed winner when it comes to baking, cooking and creating in the kitchen. Making ice-cream at home couldn't be easier and there are varying techniques that go from being a labour of love to being quick and easy. This recipe is a combination between ice-cream and frozen custard, which not only makes it really easy to make but also slightly lighter too. 

RECIPE: Seriously Indulgent Brownie Millionaire's Shortbread

Millionaire's Shortbread is such a popular sweet treat, but why not make it that extra bit indulgent by adding a layer of brownie in there too? When it comes to baking, two of my husband's favourite things I make are shortbread and brownies, which is where the idea for this recipe originated from. I wondered whether I could combine these two delicious traybakes into one seriously indulgent Brownie Millionaire's Shortbread. A few 'experiments' later and you have a buttery shortbread base, gooey chocolate filled brownie layer, smooth caramel and a thick layer of milk chocolate to top it all off. Certainly a treat and a small slice is more than enough; perfectly paired with a cup of tea if you ask me. 

RECIPE: Spiced Caramel Feather Cake

I first came across the Feather Cake phenomenon while browsing Pinterest and fell in love with how effective something so simple could be. Essentially, you make 'feathers' out of Candy Melts or coloured white chocolate and then attach them to a cake of your choice. It seemed a pretty quick way to create a showstopper cake, so I couldn't resist having a go for my husband's birthday. I ordered a range of Candy Melts from Hobbycraft, as well as some new paintbrushes and was ready to get started!
