Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey


Look what I stumbled upon when I was at Borders Book store oxford circus last month before it closed down!

Yep can you believe it? I have never heard of it before til then and I was still coming round with my obsession with the Hummingbird bakery Red Velvet cake Mmmmmmmh. Then I find this

Haven't started baking recipes yet from Hummingbird bakery cook book but, I have got to get this to add to my collection.

I suppose it is not such a good idea writing this blog when you are doing a fast, but anyways a little information on the book for those who might be interested.

The entire book is dedicated to desserts that are sticky, chewy messy and gooey exactly what the title says believe me guys when I tell you this book is amazing you have got to go get yourselves copies!

Recipes include: Chocolate Caramel-Pecan Soufflé Cake, Cinnamon-Donut Bread Pudding, Double-Crumble Hot Apple Pies, Giant Coconut Cream Puffs
In addition to each sugary favorite, the author has simple techniques and tools to help home cooks recreate each decadent treasure again and again.

Fresh Perfume and Fragrances


I discovered Fresh awhile back cause my sister introduced me to the lovely Brown Sugar scrub, back then no one else was making them, I loved the smell so much I decided to buy the perfume. Back then the prices where quite dear but it was okay I didn't plan to Finnish the bottle in one month I was going to use it as my summer Autumn fragrance.

Since Brown Sugar I've tried the Sake range which I have to say was really good too. Sake Perfume is a sensual velvety blend of langsat fruit, ginger, white peach, and sandalwood with subtle floral undertones. They also have many other fragrances depending on what you go for. If you like fresh smells, sweet smells, musky smells they have a wide variety of names include; Cannabis Rose, Fig Apricot, Pink Jasmine

Fresh offers a beautiful range of body and skin care products, make-up, fragrances and home accessories available on-line and in listed retail stores in many countries.
