I made these Peacock Cupcakes as part of my daughter’s 8th birthday celebrations. She had an India-themed party, so after making Mehndi Cupcakes and an Indian Cake, I thought to make Peacock Cupcakes to take to school for her classmates.
Mehndi Cupcakes
Just before Christmas, my youngest daughter turned 8. She wanted an Indian themed birthday party this time, so she and her sister could wear the beautiful Indian outfits their grandma got for them from India.
Chocolate Yule Log
As you know, I grew up in Milan, in Northern Italy. Milan is in a fantastic area, just in the middle of Europe, which made travelling very easy even in the pre-low-flight-era. My parents have always loved Paris, so we would go there at least once a year, usually before Christmas. So, I have had…

Today I am partnering with Webster Ltd – the largest commercial producer of premium-quality walnuts in Australia – to present to you the ultimate Christmas dessert: Walnut Semifreddo with Walnut Cherry Brownies and Cherry Compote!

Reindeer Cupcakes
I love Christmas themed food and I especially love Christmas themed cupcakes. After sharing my Christmas Tree Cupcakes a few days ago, today I am back with these Reindeer Cupcakes. Aren’t they the cutest thing ever? My girls absolutely adored them and the best part is, you can involve the kids while decorating them as…
Reindeer Rice Krispies Treats
Even though it’s summer here in Australia, I still like to come up with fun Christmas projects to make with the kids… but because of the heat, I tend to prefer recipes that don’t necessarily require baking. These Reindeer Rice Krispies Treats fit the bill perfectly. They are very easy to make and will keep…
Christmas Tree Cupcakes
These Christmas Tree Cupcakes are so much fun to make! I baked chocolate cupcakes to use as the base of the tree and then topped them with green vanilla buttercream to make the tree. To decorate the “tree” you can use anything you like. I used mini chocolate chips of different colours, silver pearls and…
Edible Christmas Gifts 2017 Round Up
I can’t believe it is almost Christmas already! It feels like yesterday that I put away last year’s Christmas decorations! Anyhow, I won’t complain. At the end of the day, it is still my favourite time of the year. Minus the Christmas shopping, that is. I find that stressful… So, I often make Edible Christmas…
Chocolate Shortbread Cookies
Shortbread is an absolute favourite of mine. I love the buttery taste and the fact that it practically melts in your mouth the moment you take a bite. These Chocolate Shortbread Cookies are no exception, and besides, they are made with cocoa powder… so they are the perfect treat for any chocoholic like yours truly!…
White Chocolate Apricot Pistachio Bark
Don’t you just love chocolate bark? I had some leftover white chocolate and dried apricots, and I just couldn’t resist to urge to mix them up! This White Chocolate Apricot Pistachio Bark tastes delightful and it’s very quick and easy to make! I know bark is mainly a Christmas thing, but then again, it is…
Chocolate Chip Buns
My kids love chocolate. I think most kids do, wouldn’t you agree? I had some chocolate chips I wanted to get rid of in my pantry, so I thought of making these Chocolate Chip Buns. They are perfect for breakfast, and even more so to give to kids to eat at school. I am always…
Matcha White Chocolate Shortbread Cookies
During our recent holiday in Japan, we enjoyed some delicious matcha cookies. In Kyoto there is a shop called Malebranche that sells amazing sweets. Our favourite are langues de chat… 2 wafer thin matcha cookies sandwiched with a layer of white chocolate in between. We had them during our first trip and we got some…
Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes
I made these Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes for my youngest daughter’s birthday party… I can’t believe they were still sitting in my archive! Anyhow, if you remember, she had requested a Japanese/Doraemon themed-party, so I thought of decorating the cupcakes with little cherry blossoms made out of fondant. They were a hit, like cupcakes always are….
Guinness Brownies with Baileys Frosting
I have had this Guinness Brownies with Baileys Frosting recipe saved for a looooong time and I finally got to make it. And what better occasion than Saint Patrick’s Day? Isn’t this the quintessential Irish recipe? These brownies are amazing… so chocolatey and fudgy! The addition of Guinness only intensifies the deep chocolate flavour. They…
Triple Chocolate Mousse
I made this Triple Chocolate Mousse for Christmas and it’s been sitting in my archives ever since! I can’t believe how quickly time flies! I love all mousse and small portion desserts, so this recipe is an absolute keeper. Besides, who can say no to chocolate? This dessert is made up of 2 different mousses…
Nutella Cheesecake with Nutella Ganache #WorldNutellaDay
Happy World Nutella Day everyone! As I am sure you have noticed from my latest Round-Up, I already have plenty of recipes that feature Nutella among the ingredients. I grew up eating it and I still love it. And so do my kids, so, World Nutella Day is a day we always celebrate happily. While…

Leftover Buttercream Cookies
I loooove today’s recipe: Leftover Buttercream Cookies! As you know, I hate to waste food and I love recipes that transform leftovers into new amazing dishes, and this one is a fantastic idea!
Double Chocolate Cupcakes
I made these Double Chocolate Cupcakes for my youngest daughter’s birthday party in December and they were a hit with both adults and kids alike. I must admit that I usually do not like buttercream, as it is usually way too sweet for my taste, but this chocolate version got me hooked! I guess it’s…
Gravity Defying M&M’s Kit Kat Cake
I made this Gravity Defying M&M’s Kit Kat Cake for my eldest daughter’s 9th birthday. I usually make fondant cakes for my kids’ birthdays, but this year I decided to go for something “easier”. I have recently undergone surgery, so I did not have a lot of time for “planning” this cake. Besides, my daughter…
Eggless Chocolate Cake
Recently we celebrated my eldest daughter’s 9th birthday. We usually have a party at our place and I take care of the food (remember the Frozen theme?), but this year we had to do something a bit different. Due to my recent surgery, I was not able to organise the usual spread of food, so…
No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
I made these No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars to take to a friend’s get together. I love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate and these also had an added bonus: puffed rice. Don’t you just love how crispy puffed rice is? Every time I eat it, I get transported back to my childhood,…
