Creating a Cake
This past Sunday (December 16) was the 15th birthday of one of my daughters. She still likes to have themed parties, and this year she chose to have a fantasy theme. Now, I prefer to make their cakes myself as it adds a little extra love to their special day. So this year, going along with the fantasy theme, I decided to make her a castle cake... or attempt to anyway. But I didn't want it to be just a single flavor cake. I wanted to mix it up. To say my husband has banned me from watching anymore baking shows is an understatement LOL... anyway, here is how her cake was made...

I Tried the Wacaco Nanopresso Portable Espresso Maker and It Changed the Way I Drink Coffee
Did somebody say caffeine?! God knows it's the first thing I want to hear in the morning. I don't care if it's Colombian, Peruvian, Kenyan, Indonesian, Australian, or from anywhere else on the Coffee Belt, there's no denying the magical properties of this king among produce. I've often thought of just having the coffee beans shipped directly to my house so I can spend the entire day chewing on them.

Please Stop Buying Candy Canes
It’s that time of year again—when it’s way too cold but the true magic of Christmas hasn’t kicked in yet despite all the Santa-themed stalls and shops (probably because they began in September!). Cosy high-street cafés are selling way-too-expensive gingerbread lattes when you're trying to do Xmas shopping early, or your local Tesco is advertising Mince Pies for cheaper than Sainsbury’s. But what grabs your eye is the new Christmas confectionery: the chocolate Santa’s or the advent calendars, a jam tart or two, and the large Quality Street box going half price. All guilt-free because it’s December!

The Secret Behind Instagram Hotspots (It’s Not as Glamorous as It Looks)
Social media influencers are the latest tools of business marketing. People with a high count of followers are able to drive an influx of customers towards locations, with one simple picture of them posed outside of the building. It wasn’t until I got back onto the Instagram scene this summer, when a particular London hotspot caught my attention. I’d passed the Peggy Porschen cafe numerous times in my nineteen years of living in London, yet somehow had failed to ever actually sit down and order from the menu—it simply hadn't interested me in such a way. Of course I could appreciate the sweet aesthetic of the cafe, and admire the seasonally changing floral displays that probably takes a lot of creative thought to execute- but when it came to the actual dessert menu, I simply didn’t care. (I later found out that not many people do…)

I Tried LEVO's Oil Infuser—Now I Can't Imagine Cooking Without It
"What is that taste?" It was a question that I had to ask. My friend Sal had made an amazing salad with his own special olive oil and vinegar dressing. The salad's greens weren't what were amazing; it was just spring greens. What was pretty epic, though, was the dressing.

How to Make Cranberry and Chocolate Granola Bars
Surprisingly enough, granola bars are one of the easiest recipes I've ever baked. I always thought cupcakes and cookies were the simplest recipes to make. As I am always looking for new baked goods to be created, I never thought of granola bars being a homemade recipe that could be made in just half an hour. The best part is I don't feel too guilty craving them, all to myself, throughout the week—unlike my recipe for white chocolate and blueberry cookies. This is because the granola bars mainly consist of old fashioned oats and almonds that provide you with the essential fats we need. The bars also have light brown sugar, which can be excluded if you're completely cutting out added sugar this January for a fresh new start to the new year. This will then only contain the natural sugars from the honey that won't harm your body. This recipe also contains almonds, which can easily be removed from the recipe if you or someone you know suffers from a nut allergy. If you're not a fan of either cranberries or chocolate chips then you easily substitute these ingredients for sunflower seeds, blueberries, or just leave out the additional ingredients.
