I had so many fresh peaches that mom gave me, from her neighbour who picked them straight from the tree in their backyard! I made jam out of most of them and with the rest I made this cake….

Fruit Salad
Fruit salad is a favourite in our house, if I have the time I like to make it special, by making the watermelon into a basket! You can make it simple or fancy, its a nice gift as well if your invited over for a summer dinner with friends or if your having guests over, what a way to impress them! Its actually easy to make and doesn’t take much time either. Make sure to have a small sharp knife to be able to cut through the watermelon….
Fruit Topped Cake
It’s been a busy week for me, making desserts for my family and friends.
This cake was simple to make, and looks amazing. Decorating with fruit can make anything look naturally wonderful!…
Strawberry Trifle
This is a wonderful and light tasting trifle! I added lemon zest to the cake batter as it takes away that egg-y taste and smell…that I don’t care for! It tastes so much better, who knew a little lemon zest can make such a difference?!

Tropical Dream Cake
Since I probably will not be going away to the Caribbean any time soon, I brought the caribbean to me…in form of a cake:)
I was in the fruit section at my local grocery store, while I was there I noticed star fruits. Never have I tried it, but I was inspired to make use of it. Its tart, not sweet and no flavour to it really, not sure if I got a bad one, but the girl that worked there said that its ripe and ready to eat when yellow. Oh well it makes a pretty garnish, and possibly good in a punch. The strawberries are organic and smell amazing!…
Custard with Blueberries
My son loves custard and blueberries, so I made this dessert especially for him!…
Fruit Buckle
Well we were snowed in today! The blueberry buckle from yesterday was gone in a flash! The kids wanted some more, I did not have much blueberries, but I did have a bag of mixed fruit in the freezer so I made it with mixed fruits. So now while were here stuck in the house, at least we have something delicious to snack on:)…
Blueberry Buckle
