No it's not as sinister as it sounds, it's the name of these chocolate brownies which have Mars Bar in the centre and marshmallow and caramel sauce topping, you have no idea how wicked they taste!! Today's CDP theme is bakeries, so I went out yesterday to take some shots of a patisserie that I'd heard about in Maylands, French of course. Foiled!!! I should have realized that like my very favorite patisserie
Francois in Leederville, most French establishments are closed on Mondays. After a wee bit of 'sacre bleu ing' and Mon Dieu ing' I thought idiot moi!! What's the problem. I live with the queen of baking, mon fille Aimee. So here are just a few of the temptations that I have to face when she takes over my tiny kitchen, is it any wonder I'm always battling those last five kilos!
Vanilla and white choc chip pink cup cakes.....
Lemon/orange syrup cake.....
Red Velvet cup cake with cream cheese icing.....
Individual vegan Christmas fruit cakes.....
Sticky date pudding cake.....
Brookies (great name oui), brownie texture with cookie flavour.....
Whoopie Pies with green tea cream icing.....
Possibly one of the most decadent, vanilla cupcake with cookies and cream Lindt Ball melted in centre.....
Now I understand that which I was taught about the devil when a young man. He/she does not visit one or make one's acquaintance wearing the appearance of evil, with horns sticking out of his/her head, but rather looking and smelling like delicious pastries - chocolate and caramel melting together in gastronomic excess, and in the guise of whoopie pies and brookies and sticky date pudding cake...
ReplyDeleteYou should probably warn people like me when you post photos like this. They could easily lead to a heart attack caused by a sudden surge of unattainable desire!
Oh, everything here looks very tasty.
ReplyDeleteoh dear... I was expecting that first look of tastiness, but not so many others... and I am just heading out for lunch!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! I took 3 kgs only watching at this post!Slurp! :o)
ReplyDeleteI like the look of that lemon syrup cake!!
ReplyDeleteShe is a real artist, does she do this all in your kitchen in one day? What a temptation.Yes those 5 kilo's that is a real ordeal.
ReplyDeleteOnly 3 words come to my mind: OH MY GOD!
ReplyDeleteIs it better than my beloved Death by Chocolate??? Will have to try!

C'est superbe, si je regarde trop longtemps je vais prendre un kilo. hihihi
ReplyDeleteA good French patisserie is a joy to find, though I must admit to being tempted by Aimee's work!
ReplyDeletewell oh my...all of that photographic goodiness! thankfully I'm no longer addicted to sugar or I'd now be running right out to get a sugar fix! ;-)
ReplyDeletekudos to the baker...so happy to view her culinary treasures from afar though!
Now that's the best bakery of all and right in your own kitchen. Aimee sure is the Queen of cakes ... now what would I choose?? well let's start with the brownie with mars and caramel .. Miam!!
