Why hello there, long time no speak... if you follow me on Instagram, that statement is certainly not true because I'm always posting there... but the blog has been very neglected lately as I'm constantly chasing a very cute 2 year old around - and even when I am making new recipes, they're usually quickly gobbled by said 2 year old before a photo is even thought of.

But, this Gluten Free Hummingbird Cake Recipe is too good not to share, so here I am, just like old times, sharing a delicious gluten free recipe with you.

Sometimes you're in lockdown and stuck at home with nothing to do and you suddenly decide you need to bake a cake.

So you pull the mixer down from the cupboard, set it up on the bench, get out all of the ingredients, preheat the oven, bake said cake and then decide it needs a magnificent frosting.

Only, you don't have that much butter, there's no cream or cream cheese in your fridge and you don't want to go to the grocery store in the middle of a COVID flare.... so you reach for the sour cream instead.

Smother it with sprinkles, cover it with smarties or your favourite lollies, let the kids get creative - the choice is totally yours.

You know how isolation made some people into crazy bakers? 

Surely you've seen people on your friends list or Facebook sharing pictures of their homemade sourdough loaves or elaborate kitchen creations.

Well, I seem to have missed that boat.

Click to pin this recipe on Pinterest!

You see, rather than isolation seeing me bake up a storm, I have made a whole lot of nothing over the last few months.

Instead I've been working, gardening, washing the car, spending time with family and rarely touching the oven.

I don't know if it's because we haven't been having people over or because I've just been in a bit of a COVID-slump but baking just hasn't been high on my to do list.

Jesse and I are Disney addicts.

Disney movies are our favourite kind of movies to watch, we talk about Disneyland (our favourite place in the world!) pretty much every day and love anything and everything Disney.

So right now, as every Disney park in the world is closed and life is a little bit crazy, we decided to bring a little bit of Disneyland to our house by making some Disney inspired cupcakes for Jesse's birthday last week.

Click to pin this recipe on Pinterest!

When I started thinking about what kind of cupcakes I'd make for Jesse's birthday, I knew I wanted to make something Disney - but I wasn't sure what.

I thought about Stitch or Wall-E cupcakes (two of Jesse's faves!), but then I spotted the Sorcerer Mickey toy on the top of the cabinet and knew exactly what I wanted to make. 

Fanstasmic is our favourite show at Disneyland and sorcerer Mickey is the star - and I decided for a cake decorating novice like myself, Mickey cupcakes were totally achieveable.. and I was right! 

These may be the easiest cupcakes I've ever made!

It's no secret that I love chocolate. 

When I found out there was a chocolate shop opening literally 5 minutes from our house, I told Jesse that this year we would not infact be buying a house, but I would infact be the size of a house because I have no self control when it comes to chocolate.

...especially when I found out said chocolate shop has gluten free chocolate...

When it comes to choosing what dessert to make to share with friends or family, I will almost always choose a chocolate option.

And if I choose a non-chocolate option, you can be I'm actually bringing two desserts because I couldn't stop myself from making the chocolate dessert too.

That's exactly what happened when I came up with this brownie recipe.

They're rich, they're fudgy and they are addictively delicious. They may, in fact, be my new favourite chocolate dessert.

How to Make a Gluten Free Number or Letter Cake

I don't know about you, but I'm definitely not a cake decorator. 

I love making cakes and I love eating cakes - but the whole decorating process stresses me out.

Recently, however, we had a milestone birthday in our family and I was tasked with baking the cake. Wanting to make something a little bit special, I took to Pinterest to search for ideas.

First I went looking for easy cake decorating ideas and my page was filled with chocolate cakes topped with plastic diggers and cake crumbs or cakes that looked anything but easy. So then I browsed the number cakes instead.

What I ended up finding was a Pinterest trend I actually thought I could master - and I found a secret weapon that would enable me to do just that...
