Chocolate Pavlova Cake

This Chocolate Pavlova Cake is not a chocolate pavlova that looks like a cake. It’s a chocolate cake with a pavlova baked on top. The name is a bit confusing. Sorry, but I do promise you that it’s very tasty.

When we ate this cake the kids and I played a little prank on my husband. He hates eggplant (although will eat it in my fav casserole; pretty sure it’s a mind over matter dislike) so we…

Chocolate Cake with Jam and Cream

Chocolate Cake with Jam and Cream

It’s Mother’s Day this Sunday.

Bring on the homemade cards, beaded bracelets and crepe paper flowers sprayed in Chanel No. 5.

Bring on the kid made pancakes, the messy kitchen and the mum choice of Sunday night movie (that they will inevitably whinge about having to watch but secretly love).

I’m not a fan of #blessed and I tried to keep a gratitude journal once (it lasted 3 days) but…

Peanut Butter and Jelly Layer Cake

Peanut Butter and Jelly Layer Cake

We had to buy a new vacuum cleaner today.

It wasn’t because we wanted to, but more out of not wanting to live in a knee high sea of dog hair, leaves and My Little Pony stickers.

Our many efforts to prolong our Vacuums life, including duct tape and shonky parts bought online, had finally proved not enough. After 12 ½ years of loyal service it was time to move on.

As romantic as it sounds…

Peanut Butter Donuts

Last night I had a moment of pure bliss.

3 1/2 minutes of forgetting about the laundry, not worrying about the kids, not being stuck in my own head or worrying about what anyone else thought.

3 1/2 minutes of being in and enjoying a moment, letting my inhibitions go and loving life like a carefree wild child.

And it was all thanks for Bob Jovi, a tight dress and a drunk cousin and her…

ANZAC Brownie Slice

Consider this a group text message.

Not one of the annoying ones that are the modern day equivalent of a chain letter but one of those that people send in a group SMS because they’re too lazy busy to send individual messages.

This is my group SMS to readers of Mummy Made.It

I’m sorry.

I was alerted today to an issue with the website. It appears that most of the comments, questions…

Smores Cake

  This Smores Cake is a tip to the traditional s’mores flavours that I love and have used many times before.

Only a crazy person wouldn’t love the mash up of chocolate, cookies and marshmallows!

Taking about crazy, this last week has been mental busy. School holidays, work, sick kids, long nights and not enough cake. While cake might not be the answer to all of life’s questions it does solve a…

Left Over Cake Brownies

Left Over Cake Brownies

    This blog post and this recipe is about a topic that may be a bit controversial to some. It’s not political or religious in nature but some may tell you that it simply doesn’t exist or it’s an urban myth told by people who prefer savoury over sweet foods (ie the crazy ones!).

It’s Left Over Cake.

Left over cake is not a term that is used very often in my house, the more frequently used…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

I am a broken record. My voice, lost in the wind. My words must simply sound like white noise Amongst the playing and screaming I hear.

I am a tired record. My requests, playing on repeat. But it’s not just my voice that they’re ignoring, It’s me that they fail to see.

I am a mother record. My heart, full of love. Each day full of much joy and endless frustration As we navigate this…
