Cakes, Pies, and Tarts

Chocolate Orange Cheesecake. A luscious two layered cheesecake inspired by Terry’s Chocolate Orange. It’s been popular in my family and on my blog for many years.

My Mom’s decades old, super easy, moist, spicy and delicious pumpkin bread recipe that can even be made using canned pumpkin pie filling instead if you like.

Applesauce Cake with Maple Glaze. An old fashioned favourite just like Grandma used to bake; lightly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg and topped with a sweet maple glaze.

Pina Colada Upside Down Cake. A delicious dessert cake featuring coconut, pineapple and rum, the flavours found in the iconic cocktail.

Parkin is a traditional sticky oat spice cake from northern England that’s enjoyed on November 5, Guy Fawkes Night, i.e. Bonfire Night!

Ultimate Nut Fruitcake. Using 5 different delicious nuts! This recipe uses hazelnuts, almonds, macadamia nuts, walnuts and pecans in the cake and is topped by a sweet almond marzipan layer in the ultimate fruitcake for those who can’t get enough of crunchy nuts.

Easy Marshmallow Fondant. It costs far less, is not difficult to prepare and tastes better than store bought too! It’s also easy to add flavourings and colouring to suit the cake.

A simple, old-fashioned orange bundt cake recipe with plenty of citrus flavour. The Cointreau marinated strawberries are the perfect accompaniment to this delicious cake.

Pear Almond Cake with Creme Anglaise. A wonderfully moist and nutty flavoured cake with sweet pears baked right in and served with warm Creme Anglaise custard. A superb Autumn comfort food dessert.

Christmas Pudding. This simplified recipe is baked, not steamed but still has all the great molasses spice flavour of a traditional pudding. Incredibly delicious with our Rum & Butter Sauce!
