Just another selection of goodies to share! I recently experimented with a recipe for caramel squares with peanuts. These started of with a shortbread base, followed by a layer of boiled sweetened condensed milk (caramel), mixed with chopped peanuts. Finally they were finished of with a layer of melted milk chocolate, to which I swirled white chocolate. One note to make was the layer of chocolate could have been a little thinner...just to make them easier to slice! The top left corner is from a recent batch of chocolate cupcakes for a birthday. The final two pictures are from my first attempt at sugar cookies, which went down a treat on a family weekend! A key with the dough is to keep it chilled whenever possible (the whole dough, and even the cut out shapes). I finished these cookies with royal icing, using meringue powder rather than egg whites. The images on the far right are two victoria sponge recipes, one original with regular icing, and the other adapted as an orange sponge, with orange zest in the cake and both orange juice and zest in the icing, finished off with a few pieces of orange peel.
