Outrageous Chocolate Cookies

Outrageous Chocolate Cookies by Avanika

Outrageous Chocolate CookiesThe other day, I had some friends request some brownies, and after having made countless repetitions of countless versions, I decided it was time to try something new. I've also slowly been struggling to get through my million bookmarks {I'm sure you relate}, and I noticed these cookies posted by Katrina.…

Peach Pear Plum Galette

Peach Pear Plum Galette by Avanika

Peach Pear Plum GaletteI don't really get much baking with fruits done, even though I always mean to. After drooling over all kinds of fruit related desserts this whole month, I finally decided to get one done, quick and easy. And nothing defines quick and easy more than a galette. I love it's rustic simplicity. I picked out whatever…

Just like Cotton Chiffon Cake

Just like Cotton Chiffon Cake by Avanika

Just like Cotton Chiffon CakeI've got absolutely no story for this. None at al!! All I'm saying is, I saw this wonderful cake yesterday at Anh's wonderful blog, and decided there and then, that I would make it today.

Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles by Avanika

SnickerdoodlesEven though I love decorating, and slaving for hours over complicated desserts, somehow I don't like making cookies too much. It just seems like too much effort, when I could make bars out of them just as easily. The most probable reason would be my tiny oven, in which I can just about manage to squeeze about 10 cookies.…

Banana Cake with Dark Chocolate and Walnuts by Avanika

Banana Cake with Dark Chocolate and WalnutsThat's right! You're actually seeing a new post from me. I realise that I haven't posted at all this month, but well, I'm just going to be honest about it..

Apple Pie

Apple Pie by Avanika

Apple PieI made the most perfect, flaky, delicious pie crust! How about a little cheer for me? Yayy! I'm really happy. While I have made good pie crusts before, they were never perfect, and certainly never this good! It was one of those pies where the crust is as good, or even better than filling. And mind you, that was some tasty…
