I searched everywhere for a chocolate ganache recipe using Andes mints and really never found a good one. So, I made my own. It set up to a very nice consistency for me and hopefully it will for anyone else who tries it. I figured I’d go ahead and posted it so I won’t forget it and to help out anyone else looking for a mint ganache recipe :).
Ingredients:
3 oz Unsweetened Chocolate (I used Bakers brand); chopped
12 oz Andes Mints (the candy, not the chips is what I used); c...

Since my husband and I are now eating a vegan diet at home I have started to try out some vegan cakes for family gatherings. This pumpkin spice cake was a big hit and no one could tell the difference. A nice alternative to chocolate or vanilla.

It was wonderful having Sydney baking and decorating with me this past week, however I admit saying goodbye has become harder as she visits more often. I began realizing our relationship will be a series of visits and goodbyes. She loves living in D.C. and will probably go to graduate school at George Washington University. I am happy to see her become a self assured adult able to live on her own, but I would be lying to myself if I didn’t also…

This cake is super moist and has golden syrup to really add depth to the flavour. For best results, use the best quality ingredients you can find. I have had this recipe hand written into my cookbook after copying it out of one of mums books, its been around a loooong time, so dont know who gets original credit…but its super yummy!

Today I wanted to bake two things….I wanted to try a Blueberry Meringue Roulade … I didn’t have any blueberriesR...
