As promised in my last post , today' I'm sharing another cherry inspired recipe. You're welcome!😊 This one's perfect for your 4th of July celebrations coming up, so we're bang on trend, right?! These pie pops are so fun and easy to make. And even more fun to eat! I made them with tasty cherries, but you also use other seasonal fruit or filling to match your party.
Our cherry tress are currently heavy with fruit. And besides gorging ourselves right off the trees, I'm trying to use cherries in as many ways possible in my cooking before the birds eat them all! Yes, it's a battle for survival in the country, what can I say?! So brace yourselves for cherry everything coming to the blog. You're so welcome! 😋
Styling a Smoothie Bar for Summer
Summer is the perfect season to try and eat healthier. With an abundance of fresh produce in season, summer's when I create lighter and fresher meals at home. One of my favorite quick snacks/drinks to serve my family is a smoothie. We love it for breakfast, we love it in a bowl, we love it as a tasty treat... So I got thinking it would be so fun to set up a smoothie bar for a party! Such a refreshing idea for a bridal or baby shower, summer brunch or any summer celebration!
How To Make a Unicorn Birthday Cake
You know those super trendy unicorn cakes we see all over Pinterest ? Well, I decide I was brave enough to tackle one on my own for my daughter's unicorn themed slumber party . I love that the cake depicts a unicorn with its eyes closed, and I think it was perfect to evoke the sleepover party aspect and the whole "sweet dreams" idea for us. So sweet, right?! 😍 Check out the full DIY cake tutorial below!
Raspberry Mojito Cocktail Recipe
As you probably saw in my last post , that the Mojito is my favorite cocktail of all time! I especially love concocting fruity versions of this much-loved beverage for all my summer parties, like Cinco de Mayo, which is just 'round the corner. One fruit version that is a a real hit with everyone, and that looks SO SO pretty, is the raspberry Mojito. Which I'm very happy to be sharing with you today. Least of all, because I get to make Mojitos on a weekday, and get to taste-test it for you! 😋
With Cinco de Mayo 'round the corner we're all into Mexican inspired party ideas this week (as if you haven't noticed..) And since Mojitos are my fav drinks of all time, I decided to impart its much loved flavors into a cake form for our fiesta celebrations ! I can't tell you how GOOD this crazy idea tasted! Even my husband who is not really partial to cakes or Mojitos, couldn't get enough of it! 😀

Did you see the floral Easter brunch we shared last week? ( click here to see the photos ). Well, this Brazilian carrot bundt cake has become a sort of tradition in our home at Easter. Not only because of it's so tasty with its creamy chocolate ganache and fun, bright orange color, but because it's also super simple to make. And mainly, because it's a cake recipe passed down from my mom! 😊

How to Make an Elsa Doll Birthday Cake
Today I'm sharing the steps how I made that Elsa doll call, from the Frozen inspired birthday party I shared last week. These types of doll cakes are nothing new. In fact, I was totally obsessed with having one for my 10th birthday party (Barbie themed), so let's just say it was a while ago we first saw them 😋
Chocolate Cupcake with Mascarpone Frosting
Valentine's Day is 'round the corner, and if you're looking for a quick and simple, yet tasty dessert for your party, or simply to pleasure a loved one; then this is it! 😉 This is my go-to quick route when baking cupcakes. The frosting also takes no time at all to make, and no need to get the mixer out! Plus, I find the combination of chocolate and Mascarpone such a marriage made in cupcake heaven...so creamy and luscious! YUM!
Come January and we're all trying to eat healthier and shed all those extra pounds gained over the Holidays, right?

Roast Pork with Herb & Mustard Crust Recipe
My favorite part of the Christmas Holidays is cooking and baking well into the New Year. It's my way of showing my family and friends how much I love them. I feed, therefore I love 😋 But I also like putting my feet up and enjoy their company, so I tend to go for big batch recipes, stuff I can make ahead or easy bang-it-in-the-oven-and-forget-about-it type of recipes. Hence this tasty Christmas roast pork with a gorgeous herbs and mustard crust, which I served at my Christmas meal last year!
Sparkling Citrus Holiday Sangria Recipe
When it come to Holiday entertaining, it's always a great idea to serve a big-batch punch or signature cocktail that your guests can get stuck into straight away. Something that involves little effort, and maximum satisfaction is my motto. So for my Silver & Blue Cocktail and Appetizers party I shared earlier in the week, I did just that. Serving up a batch cocktail like this means you can prep it in advance and just forget about it, which in turn leaves you free to mingle and enjoy the party! Something we tend to forget sometimes at parties we host ourselves (sound familiar?) 😉

Pumpkin & Cinnamon Tiramisu Recipe
Tiramisu is one of my all time favorite desserts. I come from an Italian background, so there's no surprise there ;) But because autumn rhymes with pumpkin and cinnamon errything , I decided to add a little twist to my classic recipe. I say classic, but really it's far from it, 'cause for my usual Tiramisu I use cinnamon cookies instead of the traditional ladyfingers. I adore cinnamon just a much as pumpkins. And coffee. So it was a no-brainer, really!
