Wedding cake

Rose cake filled with rhubarb and strawberry compote. Lush.

This Friday and Saturday we'll be at the gorgeously sweet St James Church selling our cakes at the most excellent  Mothers Market.

We'll be using rhubarb, gooseberries, strawberries, roses, meyer lemons, vanilla beans, fair trade chocolate, free range eggs and sweet creamy butter to bake a selection of the sweetest treats.

See you there!

Dulce de leche, confiture du lait or arequipe. Call it what you will, it's ready and waiting to be added to our brownies for this weekend's market.

It's a long but pleasurable process cooking this milk caramel. Litres of milk, a small amount of sugar and vanilla beans are simmered for hours resulting in this mild milky caramel. Not as sweet or cloying as caramel made from sugar and cream, it's the natural sugars in the milk that give it a luscious feel. And the sweet jersey milk from Tasmanian cows of course!
