Being the good wife that I am, I quickly whipped up a batch of blueberry muffins this morning for us to have with our customary morning coffee we have out […]

about me

I am a mother, wife and D-I-Y junkie. I love baking and enjoy writing so combining the two made sense. Then life happened and I discovered I had lots of other things to write about as well, so my little baking blog turned into sharing ideas and experiences, food related or not :)

Donut judge me 🍩😅 but I may have taste tested some of the warm donuts straight out of the oven, and it may have ended up being breakfast 🙊 #cake #bakeddonuts #breakfastofchampions #birthday #whitechocolatemudcake #baking #littlebeanbakes

A Canadian inspired cake to farewell a superhero we weren’t ready to say good bye to 😭 @pitzzy555 enjoy every moment of your 🇨🇦 travels! (And if you are not back in the designated time, several people will be hopping on a plane to come and drag you back!) Cake: Maple syrup 🍁 cake, filled with a maple & pecan crumb, pecan buttercream and topped with @woolworths_au pancakes 🤤 #cake #maplesyrup #pecan #baking #canada #woolworths

And then you turned three. You are the bringer of life and joy and laughter. Nothing you do is less than 💯 effort. Your smile lights up the world and those dimples excuse a multitude of grievances. You are immovable in your decisions yet you are effortlessly compassionate, possibly the best combination ever. How did we get this lucky 😌 . . . #biscoff cake with #biscoff spread buttercream with a #biscoff drip with a sprinkling of #biscoff crumb. And if you are wondering, there is no amount of biscoff that is too much biscoff 🤤

Rice krispie treats are my absolute all time favourite treat and I don’t make it nearly often enough. I remember them from my own childhood and even now as an adult I find it hard to refuse. I’ve learnt a couple of tricks from @thekitchn that will elevate this children’s treat to the next level. The first is to lightly toast the rice krispies before you start and the second is to brown the butter. Both those things give it a nutty and toasty taste that is hard to describe but once you’ve tried it you’ll never be able to make it any other way. I also always use the best vanilla I can afford, it makes a huge difference in the taste. And salt! The salt enhances all of the flavours. Also, don’t squish the mixture down too hard, just lightly pat it down in the tin, this helps make it airy and chewy. For a recipe head to The Kitchn and search for brown butter rice krispie treats, this has become by go-to recipe. . . . . . #ricecrispytreats #marshmallow #treats #sprinkles #nobake #easy #littlebeanbakes

The Cake: Superhero chocolate cake with gummy bears in the centre (as requested by the birthday boy) 🦸🏻‍♂️ The Story: It is one of the great joys in my life to bring my children’s dreams to life with baking. And it has (gleefully) become a bit of a tradition for Hadleigh and I to go on Pinterest and scroll through cakes and themes and parties until he finds something he loves. I am painfully aware of the insane talent that is out there and my own cake limitations, and that I definitely can’t make ANYthing he points out. But I also don’t take the privilege lightly that there are a few things that I CAN make, not always perfectly, but in his eyes turns out to be the greatest thing on earth. What an honour! And the look on his face when he came downstairs this morning and saw his cake I will treasure in my heart for a long time. He doesn’t care about cracked fondant or uneven cake layers or imperfect proportions, all he saw was Hulk’s fist busting out of his cake and started jumping up and down with joy 🥰 . . . . . #cake #birthdaycake #chocolatecake #superhero #hulkcake #supermancake #ironmancake #batmancake #birthday #sixthbirthday #baking #littlebeanbakes

This guy. Today he is six. He is our first and there has been many times that I wished that we could have had a test run on something other than our actual kid. Despite our many shortcomings as parents our beautiful boy is turning into quite the amazing young man. I am absolutely astonished at how he is growing and learning and showering the world with his love. And my constant inquisitive companion in the kitchen! Seriously proud of this one. I have surprised myself with how much my love for him keeps growing every day. One of my greatest gifts from God 😌

The Cake: MINT CHOC CHIP 🍃🍫 chocolate cake layered with mint chocolate chip swiss meringue buttercream and crushed mint aero pieces topped with a dark chocolate drip, more crushed aero and a few of the new @lindt_australia milk mint chocolate balls 🤤 The Story: Father’s Day. My husband is a man of few words (sometimes too few!) he’s not one for fuss or presents or cards or lots of adjectives. He carries our family on his shoulders, he picks up the slack without being asked and never nags about it, he makes dinner when I am too tired, he does the laundry because I always leave it to when nobody has anything clean to wear, he builds legos with the boys and teaches them how to kick a ball, he comes and cleans up the chaos I leave behind after baking, he looks after all of our finances and budgets always making sure bills are paid on time and registrations are done because I hate dealing with money, he cleans the really gross things I refuse to and he never, ever complains about any of that or asks for a medal. But a good old chocolate cake makes him so happy and a small way I can tell him how much he is appreciated. . . . . . #fathersday #appreciation #cake #chocolatecake #chocolatedripcake #mint #mintchocolatechip #baking #lindt #chocolate #swissmeringuebuttercream #littlebeanbakes

The Cake: ORANGE & POPPY SEED 🍊gluten-free orange and poppy seed cake soaked with orange rind syrup and layered with vanilla bean swiss meringue buttercream. The Story: there are certain people who come into your life who bring the sun the sparkle and the joy. They have the ability to make you a better person by simply being themselves. Our lives are forever enriched because of a certain family we have the precious privilege of calling our friends. This is a celebratory cake for more than just a 70th birthday, it is honouring a Godly woman who does not know the word “defeat” and who raised a woman who is a role model in every way! We love you guys so much @annelize_mulder ❤️ . . . . . #friends #birthday #seventy #seventiethbirthday #cake #birthdaycake #glutenfree #glutenfreecake #nakedcake #orangeandpoppyseed #orangeandpoppyseedcake #freshflowers #flowers #cakeflowers #swissmeringuebuttercream #chocolatedrip #chocolatedripcake #cakesofinstagram #cakeoftheday #littlebeanbakes
