SPRING MACARONS with FRUITY FROZEN YOGURT FILLING…Mac Attack 5
Love your macarons Delicious treat but really It’s a foot fetish. Haiku in comments @ Leave Room For Dessert It’s time for Mac Attack 5 at our other blog Mac Tweets, and for me the roller coaster ride was on once again. It’s time to find those evasive feet and this time the feet fairy abandoned me good and propah! I’ve had a maniacal time dealing with the lows of macaron-mania, and I have to say it’s not been easy… yet I battled on. I’ve experimented with oven temperatures, double baking sheets, nut meal, almond meal, different parchment paper, varied piping bags … Spring is the most inspirational season of…

Apple, Cranberry & Praline Cake… and Ten in 10!!
“One that would have the fruit must climb the tree.” Thomas Fuller Here’s a fruity filled beginning to 2010, a year that’s already beginning to look good. The year that we just wrapped up was filled with goodness too, ever so satisfying. The high points being blogging with friends, Food Blogger Connect, Twitter and macarons! Who would have dreamt that life would change monumentally with a microapplication called Twitter?? I’ve made breakfast club pals, macaron pals, laundry club pals, dragon pals and even snail pals! Food blogging led to fabulous new friends, and some I was actually able to meet at the Food Blogger Connect! We exchanged gifts there, BIG…

Cinnamon Buttercream Autumn Cake … fall for cake!
“I dream for a living”Steven Spielberg How would you like to attend the New York Cake Convention thanks to the wonderful people at the U.S. Confection Connection? That’s right, I read it correctly, but sadly a contest I am not eligible for because I don’t stay in the US or Canada. Still, anything with cake decoration, especially a theme based one gets me thinking, and a few mails exchanged with Ivonne where she said… “I really hope you take part, Deeba! Even though it’s for US/Canada residents, we are offering a prize to a participant outside of North America. It’s a cookbook but still … we hope you take part!”…

INDIAN BERRY FRO YO … phalsa frozen yogurt
“Ice cream cravings are not to be taken lightly.” Betsy Cañas Garmon Blogging about food is something entirely fulfilling, a world I can unwind in. It’s a different space altogether, where you don’t have to seek inspiration. It’s there in every post, on everyblog. One such blog is Canela’s Kitchen Recipes, which belongs to lovely Gloria, who blogs from Santiago, Chile. She makes great use of fruit & has a mind-boggling array of fruity compositions on her blog. Gloria’s post about Blueberries & Raspberry Ice-cream is the source of inspiration for this fro yo that I made. The colour of her ice-cream was enough to unnerve me, & set me…

Sweet Times with Swiss Rolls & Strawberries
‘This one smells like strawberry.” Lusy Garcia Helen @ Tartlette posted about dried strawberries & macarons, & it transported me back to remininsencing about the good days we enjoyed with strawberries this past Spring. There’s something about this berry that draws you to it. I want to grab a handful & enjoy them, but they also cast a spell on me. Can’t just eat them as is … got to do more.They’re done for the season here, but I had a couple of last things I did with them. This is one of them, & there’sne moreore, a meringue slice cake, that’s the last one! Of course, had they been…
