Candied rhubarb flower cake

Something from my crazy imagination that i dreamed up. Jump to Recipe I love to create edible cake decorations, and candied rhubarb isn’t something new. However making petals with it and creating flowers with stamens might be!. They are so easy to make, and i think they look so pretty. Cutting the rhubarb at different angles created different sized petals. straight for the smaller flowers and at an angle for the larger one’s. I peeled really thin strips of the pink rhubarb skin off and made stamens for the centres of the flowers with that. They are then stuck together with some white chocolate. The flowers are just the beginning to this cake though. Its the sponge inside that is...

There are so many things I might have posted on this Easter Sunday. Hot cross buns, which I’ve been wanting to make (and make well—my last batch was a total fail) for a while. Pie. A brunch dish, like French toast. Chocolate eggs. Any number of different cakes. But all I’ve been able to think about is carrot cake. Maybe not surprising, since carrot cake is my favorite cake.

One of my go-to breakfasts is cinnamon swirl bread. It's packed with that swirl of cinnamon-sugar goodness and tastes even better when toasted and smeared with some butter. It even makes the perfect base for french toast. Talk about the ultimate breakfast! Don't get me wrong, I always have a loaf of store-bought cinnamon bread on hand. It's delicious.

It's actually quite simple and hey, you'll have every right to brag about your finished, homemade bread loaf! View this post on Instagram soft, gooey, fluffy cinnamon swirl bread. excuse us...

Slow cookers are excellent tools for getting dinner on the table, or for weekend batch cooking projects. But your Crock Pot is good for more than just dinner. You can also make dessert, including excellent chocolate chip cookies. These yummy slow cooker chocolate chip cookie bars are on the ooey gooey side, perfect for snacking or as the base for an ice cream sundae. Making the cookie dough starts off like many cookie recipes. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all purpose-flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, mix the white sugar, brown sugar and  melted butter together until smooth, then stir in eggs and vanilla extract, mixing the ingredients together until everything is evenly incorporated. Carefully add the...
