Gluten free banana cupcake - Sfoglia Cafe Patisserie - Dickson - Canberra

This is Kath/Dread enjoying her birthday cupcake. We went halves on this. It was ok, a little dry. Though Kath said gluten free is always hard to get moist. So dry as side it wasn’t bad. It’s made me want to attempt something gluten free. I bet I can make it moist.

Left: Cherry Ripe cake. Right: White Chocolate mud cake - Milk and Honey Cafe Canberra City

My friend Pete had the Cherry Ripe cake and I had the White chocolate mud cake. To me both were way too sweet and way too heavy. An odd thing for me to say but thats how it was. I couldn’t finish mine.

Another cake I don’t remember eating. Though by the looks of things I seemed to enjoy it.

I have know idea where I got this from but it looks like a booby. 
I think it was some kind of custard. Obviously not that great as I don’t remember.

Chocolate Molten Pudding - L’unico Restaurant - kingston Canberra

This was pretty amazing. I’ve actually had flash backs to eating this. It was super rich and chocolatie. I needed to have a coffee to wash it down with. I will be sure to order this again. It’s not often I say things like that about cake in my city.

Macadamia pie (of sorts) - Dobinsons bakery - Canberra city 

Umm.. Well this is one of those bulk made ‘I know what I’m going to get’ kinds of sweets. So it served its purpose and gave me a sugar high. Nothing more to say there really.

Coconut and date cupcake - little pickle ANU

Meh.. Nothing much to say about this. It was dry and flavourless. It didn’t get me through my afternoon unproductive slump. Sad times.

Vegan Pumpkin pie - Home made by me
This is a rather old photo now. A colleague at work had an abundance of pumpkins and decided to leave one at my desk for me. I was so happy I promised him I’d make a pie out of it as I had never made a Pumpkin pie and had always wanted to give it a try.
So this was it. It was DELICIOUS! So delicious that my house mate and I ate it all the night it was baked. I never got to share it with my colleague. He still hears stories of how amazing that pie was.
I should really try to make one again.

Cheese cake brownie - Milk and Honey Canberra City

Celebrity post by Dread Herring from Canberra roller derby league’s Surly Griffins.

It really does taste like cheesecake and brownie. Moist, rich, dense, just the way a brownie should be.

Chocolate brownie - Home made by Pete Butz.
Pete knocked on my front door and presented me with this and another slice of cake, in a attempt to make me not angry at him (we’d had a little miss communication). Though my first thought was “Where is the rest of the cake?” “This is just a slice, there was surly a whole cake surrounding this slice”
I might have forgiven you faster Pete if you had brought all of the cake!
Anyway, when I finally had a chance to try this slice I realised it deserved the time for me to enjoy it with a cup-a. So only ate half as I was in a rush.
I am now eating the other half while writing this post. I’m not sure how to put into words how amazing this slice is. I think this just might be the best brownie I have EVER had! Its thick and heavy with chocolate, yet still slightly crunchy and crumbly. Mmmmmm…

Good Dog hot dogs - Food truck, Houston TX

Guac-a-dog - it was amazing!! My favourite of all 3 I tried during my stay in Houston.  It had tomato, avocado, coriander, ketchup, and of course the sausage that was made specially for the food truck. There was something else but I cant pick it, I guess it was just a hand full of amazing :p

Flying Pig Doughnut - Gourgough’s Doughnuts Austin TX
I’m pretty sore I posted another one of these last year but this is my most favourite doughnut from Gourdough’s I had one get one this time round. Again it hit my new found sweet threshold but I still loved every moment of it.

Heavenly Hash - Gourdoughs Doughnuts Austin TX
This is my most favourite place in Austin, I’ve been craving these doughnuts for almost 2 years since i was last in Austin. 
This was a freshly made doughnut covered with marshmallows and  chocolate sauce.
So good it made me sick. I actually discovered I now have a sweets threshold. I guess its from old age and exercise.

Kelly and Peter Ehlers Wedding

The delicious pot luck deserts. Unfortunately I was too emotional to eat any of these things, but as you can see they look amazing :p
