The Sweetest Bakes Mum Will Love ❤️

Published about 2 months ago • 2 min read

hi there Reader

me, my book & I

Hello, hello!

What a wild week it's been here at Sweetest Menu HQ. I had the absolute pleasure of hosting a Q&A with the amazing Emelia Jackson this week at Robinson's bookstore.

It was a wonderful night and it was so special to meet some of you in person! It honestly lights up my world to hear in person how much you enjoy my recipes.

I also may have gotten my hands on a super advanced copy of my new cookbook, Something Sweet. Eeeek! The photos are so gorgeous in real life but what I'm most excited about is seeing you all experiencing the joy of baking with your family and friends. I'm counting down until June 30 when it'll be on bookshelves around the country.

In my kitchen this week, I made my Moist Chocolate Cake and my Best Chocolate Frosting for my friend's birthday. I forgot how good both recipes are - we were all licking the bowl on that icing!

I've also made my Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding and my lovely Lemon Pound Cake. Next on my list is my Chocolate Bread!

7 things to make mum

Here are seven easy recipes to make this weekend for mum, grandma or just because!

Lemon Blueberry Cake

A gorgeous lemon layer cake studded with fresh blueberries. It's the perfect dessert for a special Mother's Day lunch!

Brownie Cookies

Wonderfully chewy Brownie Cookies with a crackly top. These easy cookies are a portable version of everyone's favourite dessert.

Buttermilk Scones

Make mum feel extra special with a plate of homemade scones served with jam and cream. My easy recipe will show you how to get big, tall scones every time!

Coconut Jam Slice

With a baked shortbread crust, a layer of raspberry jam and a crispy coconut meringue topping - this simple slice is the perfect morning tea treat!

Honey Cookies

Why not spoil your loved ones with some Honey Cookies. Cut them into any size or shape you like and dip them in your favourite chocolate.

Blueberry Crumble Cake

This soft and light cake is topped with a simple cinnamon crumble. It's surprisingly easy to make but it feels like it's stepped out of a gourmet bakery.

Meringue Kisses

Learn how to make beautiful Meringue Kisses using just three ingredients. These crunchy cookies are gluten free and keep well for days!

what you've been baking

"IMHO, is the best cake I have ever made. Something about the texture. Tender I guess – the perfect balance of moist and light. Thank you Jess." - Hannah

Strawberries and Cream Cookies by Jessica Holmes

hi there Reader strawberries & cream cookies When I was dreaming up a new cookie recipe to add to our Cookie Collection, I couldn’t stop thinking about berries. I landed on creating a beautiful Strawberries And Cream Cookie from scratch. So I conducted a cookie experiment, making the same cookie dough three times – but one with fresh berries, one with frozen berries and one with freeze-dried berries. L to R: Fresh berries, frozen berries and freeze-dried berries. The truth is, they all...

Jessica Holmes' Cornflake Crunch

hi there Reader cornflake crunch If you follow along on Instagram, you would have seen that I have been making these crunchy little morsels ALL WEEK LONG.

This recipe was inspired by two things: America's Milk Bar Bakery and the delicious treats I grew up with in Australia called Honey Joys. A few...

Homemade Cheese Scones

hi there Reader cheese scones Remember when I went to New Zealand two months ago?

And it does NOT disappoint. Just like the ones I had in NZ, these small but tall scones are filled with flaky layers and feature a crispy cheesy top. And remember how we learnt with my Buttermilk Scone recipe that a good homemade scone...
