Ok so sometimes I make a little more than just cake but I love creating and sharing it with you here

Dulce De Leche Ice Cream

January 30, 2016

Last September I thought it would be a great idea to run around South America for a bit. It was.

The other day Mum mentioned that it had looked like I was back to my pre-trip weight. Double edged compliment right there. To be fair though I am not surprised I packed it on in the three weeks I was away. My diet consisted of white bread, meat, dulce de leche and cachaca. Oh and ice cream! All the dulce de leche ice cream I could find. It was glorious, man it seemed in each town or city the ice cream was better than the last.

Milhojas (Thousand Layer Cake)

October 6, 2015

Due to the heavy European influence in South America, delicate and delicious pastries are things Chileans do well. I stumbled across this little shop called Casa Dulce and was immediately drawn in my this mesmerizing meringue and dulce de leche creation in the window. Turns out this was a milhojas, or a thousand layer cake. Layers upon layers of flaky pastry filled with dulce de leche. There are quite a few versions of this cake but the one I tried had custard alternating the delicious caramel and as well as being smothered all over in meringue. It was love at first bite.
