Browned butter chocolate chip cookies stuffed with Nutella

I had a sweet little helper in the kitchen with me while I made these.

Gingerbread cookies

My husband Sam ate nearly the entire batch of these cookies.

Birthday cupcakes for Colin

My uncle and aunty visited us in June from New Zealand. I hadn't seen them since last August and they had yet to meet Annabelle, so it was great seeing them. Their visit also coincided with Colin's birthday, so of course I had to do some baking. 

Annabelle's introduction to solid food

Annabelle trying sweet potato. Clearly not a fan!

Annabelle is 6 months old on Monday. Time flies when you're having fun! I really can't believe that this little milestone has snuck up so fast.

Sprinkles cake for Katie

I made this cake for our good friend Katie. Sprinkles are not just for kids! Everyone loves sprinkles...don't they? 

Chocolate ganache

I use chocolate ganache a lot in my baking. I use it to fill cupcakes and cookies, put in between layers of a cake, to cover a cake before applying fondant, or as a base for my chocolate frosting. I normally double the amount and freeze the left overs for my next baking project.

AFL grand final cupcakes

Sorry for the bad photos of these cupcakes - I had packed them up and was rushing out the door before I realised I hadn't taken photos. Then I thought I would take more when I arrived at the party but I didn't.
