★ Kit Kat Cake

Breaking the hiatus from blogging with some baking!





Mary Berry's Chocolate Cake Recipe

Note:
I found the mixture a little bit too dry, so I added a bit more water and some double cream.  
I also added actual dark chocolate too around 100g, I wanted it to be extra chocolate. 
Put Oreos at the base of the cake pan before pouring the cake batter, it gives a lil crunch to the cake.
Make sure you grease your cake pan and put grease proof paper in. Generic advice I know, but you'd be surprise the amount of times I forget or get lazy!.

Nigella Lawson's Ganache Recipe

Note: 
This takes a while to set so make in well advance.
Use a good dark chocolate, I would personally say 60% or more.
Wait for cake to totally cool down, don't make the mistake of putting it on a warm cake! (It's a NO NO).

I put oreos at the bottom of silicone cases and then added the left over batter on top to create these little beauties!. Go great with milk!.

★ Christmas Wishlist


Bracelets are from ebay - NOT the real Cartier lol


Tory Burch again from ebay.


This I would have to call my lust list, things that are quite expensive.

Been playing with my phone apps :)

I normally screenshot or take pics of things that I see and like, so it's great that I can make it into a collage/mood board.

App used : PicCollage

★ Best picks from the Kardashian Kollection for Dorothy Perkins

I am loving some of the pieces from the Kardashian Kollection. Although may it some that are figure hugging, but all in the right places. These are my top 3 favourite pieces from their collection.


1) Gold Bar Dress - £40

For me this is the ultimate LBD, it is very flattering around the chest section due to the structuring of the dress, it will pull in at the waist yet show off the bust due to the opening.

2) Black Lace Skirt (£35)




















How proud I would be to own this skirt. It is so versatile as you can see the model above is wearing it as a work outfit, the lace gives it a slight sexy fun edge to it. But as well to take this through to night, tuck in a loose fun coloured blouse and ready for a night out on the town.

3) Kardashian PU leather panelling jeggings £28





















These leggings/jeggings are so unique because of the pattern it would slim down the legs. I find it hard to get an PU leather type leggings because the patterns tend to cut across the leg making them look shorter, unlike this pair. I would team it with some heels and a longish sheer top for a night out. (e.g. Kardashian black metallic top). I would even go as far to dress them down with a pair of high tops and a large sweater.

I am sure a friend, sister, girlfriend or wife would be very happy to receive anything from this line. It is such a simple and versatile collection.

Just to mention that everything in the range is under £50, it exceeded my expectation on pricing. You would definitely make your worth with the collection as it is easy to mix and match the collection.
