The White Bread that started the "Farmhouse" rumour

Strawberry Fields cupcakes

One of the favorites

Lemon & Poppy Seed cupcakes

The secret to their fluffiness is in the consistency of the mixture as well as the method of dissolving the sugar beforehand.

Isabella's Dedication Cupcakes

Ouma Bread

This bread was HUGE! Used the granny rusk pans and used 1 part "Nutty Wheat", 1 part brown bread flour and one part white bread flour.

No preservatives but nothing was left of it after taking it to my friend Anndoret's house for lunch yesterday so unfortunately I have not been able to find out how long it stays fresh...

Will let you know when I have the opportunity to find out...

Pettit Fours

This was so much fun. I took some moist vanilla sponge cake, drenched it in almond and rum extract syrup and coated it in pretty shapes of milk chocolate... mmmmm

All boxed up

Faizal's 21st Lemon Meringue

Yeah! I finally found the secret to a perfect meringue after much research, phone calls to mom in Cape Town and various other SOS cries!

The secret is in the blending, using icing sugar in stead of normal sugar - and, you need to sift it in little by little while beating the egg whites... and I would never have guessed it, but adding a few drops of lemon juice right at the end gives you the perfect result.

The meringue did not even deflate by 1% after 4 hours. :)
Happy.
