I had a spare pack of crumpets and this is where it landed! Torn chunks of golden crumpets get soaked in a simple caramel vanilla syrup, baked low and slow until veeeery crisp and golden, then dipped in milk chocolate with a little salt on top. The texture is the best part - crunchy edges and all those little pockets holding onto the caramel.

There is something so satisfying about a big bakery-style muffin with a crunchy sugar top and a soft, fluffy centre. These are extra moist thanks to butter, oil and Greek yoghurt, with juicy bursts of berries and pockets of melty white chocolate in every bite. They're simple to make, perfect with a cup of tea and freeze beautifully too.

Soft, moist banana bread, big puddles of melted chocolate, and chunks of crunchy almond praline running through the middle and over the top. Then it is finished with a thick coffee icing and extra praline for crunch. If you’ve got a couple of overripe bananas sitting on the bench, this is the one to make for Mother’s day! It is perfect served with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and caramelised fried bananas.

Caramelised filo, tangy feijoas, dark chocolate tucked through, and a pistachio frangipane situation… it’s a very good one! This strudel is all about making the most of what’s in season, and feijoas are back!!! Sweet, jammy, slightly tangy and so good baked like this.

Sticky toffee pudding meets carrot cake, with a heavy hit of ginger! The pudding itself is super soft and sticky (thanks to the classic sticky toffee base), but with grated carrot and fresh ginger folded through. It cooks in the rice cooker which keeps it super moist, then gets drowned in a gingernut toffee sauce made with dark muscovado sugar, butter, cream and fresh ginger. The filo brittle on top is optional, but highly recommended for a bit of salty crunch.

Roasted nectarines, pistachio sponge, Earl Grey yoghurt mousse and a splash of amaretto! All layered, chilled and spooned straight from the bowl DIVINE! This parfait is proof that fruit-forward desserts can still feel indulgent, look beautiful and are very much worth the effort.

Summer Berry Pavlova & Custard Milk Buns . Soft, cloud-like milk buns filled with creamy custard and tangy berry coulis, then finished with a pavlova-inspired topping

Peanut butter mousse, chocolate truffle and praline tarts. Crispy puff pastry filled with velvety dark chocolate ganache, creamy peanut butter mousse and a light, fluffy whipped mascarpone.

Indulge with this Double Vanilla Crème Brûlée Cake. It starts with layers of fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth vanilla sponge, soaked in a luscious condensed milk vanilla soak for those ‘creme brûlée’ custard-y flavours. It is then smothered in a silky cream cheese icing, and finished with a crackly brûléed sugar topping. Every bite is a heavenly combination of creamy, sweet, and caramelised perfection.

Sticky Pecan Cinnamon Roll Croissants. These decadent pastries are the ultimate indulgence—a delightful fusion of buttery croissants, gooey cinnamon rolls, and a sticky pecan topping. Flaky, golden croissants are filled with a luscious cinnamon sugar filling, then baked to perfection. Each roll is crowned with a sticky caramel glaze and a generous sprinkle of toasted pecans, adding a nutty crunch to every bite.
