Fat Friday...

Happy St Patricks day! [For er...yesterday]

Hopefully you all used it as the perfect excuse to head out to the pub, wear silly hats and drink guinness. Or, you could've made like me and eaten cookies whilst watching the model agency. Festive.

Anyway, this week's Fat Friday is going to be an ode to all things St. Patrick-y and by that of course I mean all things green. Whether it's milkshakes, cupcakes, cake pops or pies, there's a whole host of things you can make seasonally appropriate with a little food colouring [and a lot of imagination] and so i'll hand over to my trusty baking archives to guide you towards some yummy treats.


Chocolate-cinnamon brioche rolls
 [on a green tablecloth. Did I mention we're playing tedious links btw?]


Oreo Key Lime Pie


Matcha Green Tea Malted Milkshake
[Apparently we're playing tongue-twister too.]


Sesame Street Cake Pops


I don't know about you, but I'm turning green with photography/baker envy. 


And hunger.

Green with envy here too! I so want to have a go at making cake pops
and I will
except I will make them stickless and call them cake BALLS
just because the word balls is much more fun to shout loudly

"oh hey guys, come check out my balls".

Cool.

oreo key lime pie?! I can only imagine how heavenly that must taste. Well I now know my goal in life, I will not settle till I've eaten at least one.

Hahaha, pizza express does always sound sophisticted! Plus I love eating food off a slate, feels so fancy.

But what I can't believe is that it's taken me this long to find your new blog!! xxxx

YUM! I have this funny thing with all things green. I've grown up loving all the lime sweets that no one likes, and made a bee line for a patisserie in Paris that sold Pistachio eclairs...big fan so I Looooove all of these. I want to make cake pops one of these days, they're starting to catch on here now aren't they- Starbucks do them now!

Don't understand the appeal of 'cake pops'... it's gone in one bite, and I'm left thinking, 'ok, now I need a whole cake to go with that pop!'
