Ultimate Ice-Cream Sundae (Nigella)

When I read that the theme for Maison Cupcake’s seventh Forever Nigella blog event was ‘Iced Dreams’ (this month hosted by Arthi at Soul Curry) there was no thought process involved – it was straight for the peanut butter, dark chocolate, double cream and golden syrup for me. This really could have been a ‘Silent Sunday’ post with just [...]

As is now the trend, we were all asked to bring something for the table and had decided on an Italian-themed evening. [...]

February 7, 2011 By Ren Behan 12 Comments

I’m thinking of chocolate. In particular of a rich chocolate cake, oozing with depth of flavour and richness. Well, it is ten in the morning after all, I am hosting a children’s book party at home and cake is necessary.
