Chocolate brownie roll-out cookies decorated with fondant

Sorry for the mess. I was in a rush. I made the dough for these cookies a while ago and froze half the batch. I love doing that because then you always have dessert ready to go on short notice.

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. 

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.
