You are my sunshine! (speaking to the cake! 😂😉☉) My little invention - healthier apricot sunshine mousse cake. Apricot quark mousse, bergamot (or vanilla) quark mousse, apricot jelly, all sweetened with maple syrup, xylitol sugarfree genoise sponge. Some Grand Marnier or orange juice soaking syrup. Pistachios. Light, fresh, delicious. Recipe now up on the blog. Direct link in bio then look for apricot sunshine mousse cake. Blue cornflower and stars decoration optional... #healthier #homemade #apricot #moussecake #entremets #patisserie #pâtisserie #bergamot #mousse #quark #naturalyoghurt #maplesyrup #unrefinedsugarfree #xylitol #genoise #genoisesponge #eatclean #eat #cakes for #breakfast #cakestagram #instacake #ilovecakes #healthyliving #foodpic #foodphotography #instafood #foodstagram #foodie #nomnom 💕🍊 When your lower-gluten and sugar-free birch xylitol sponges turn out so fluffy and moist... you don't need sugar! Or baking powder! Yay! 😍 Have updated the recipe in the basics section on my blog, link in bio. Look for 'sugar-free genoise' or 'genoise sponge'. #lowergluten #sugarfree #genoisesponge #genoise #xylitol one-third #cornflour two-thirds #flour (but less in relation to the xylitol and eggs) #eggs #recipe perfect sponges for #baking #entremets #inthekitchen #cakestagram #instacake #pâtisserie #patisserie #foodpic #foodphotography #ilovebaking #healthier #cakes #cake #eatclean #healthyliving #ilovecakes 💕💚 Notice my Doctor Who DVDs once again help me cut a sponge evenly! 😅 Instructions coming up in my next blog post.👍 Marshie or browmallow kebabs (marshmallow + brownies) 😁 invented because my sugarfree, glutenfree brownies came out too rich for kids and pretty salty. So cushioned them in some marshmallows. 😆 Not sugarfree anymore...oops. But kind of different. We'll see what they think of them tomorrow! 👍😉 #homemade #brownies with #marshmallows #sweets #sweetkebabs #baking #eat #sweet #treats #kidstreats #kitchenexperiment #foodpic #foodstagram #foodphotography #instafood #nomnom 💕 recipe for the healthy brownies on the blog, link in bio. Careful with the salt! 😨

Lovely stuff you guys made from the blog!

Beautiful seed and nut loaf made by Claudette
A delicious seed and nut loaf made by Claudette in London. She reports ‘cannot stop eating it … it is really delicious’ And she used more pumpkin than sunflower seeds and a little chestnut flour too.
Le Gâteau Moka
A stunning Gâteau Moka by Kate in Cornwall. The piping is wonderful and she was very pleased with it. She also mentions the cake was delish! :)
Brioche rolls
Lovely brioche rolls made by Annette in New Zealand! ‘They turned out really well thanks, my boys certainly enjoyed them, all gone now!’ she reports. But be careful – she noticed that if you don’t use invert sugar or honey but just caster sugar, you’ll need to add a little extra water.
Cake Anglais-fruitcake
A beautiful orange and rum fruitcake-cake Anglais fruitcake made by Dookes! Looks moist and delicious! Dookes’ comments: ‘seriously good!’ and ‘fantastico’!!

Apple tarte tatin with Chinese five spices and Tamarind with maple syrup caramel
A fantastic slice of Apple tarte tatin with Chinese 5 spices and Tamarind by Claudette, aka mum! :) It was very nice and using maple syrup is ‘genius’ she reports. The Pink Lady apples used were ‘lovely, juicy and firm’ and cooked on the ring a little over 10 mins. Plus the pastry browned quite quickly so was covered with foil towards the end.
