Cookies, macarons, muffins, slices, pastry, spiders and CRACK pie

Have had a few bake sales and dinner parties lately. Here's the update!


Snickerdoodle egg-yolk cookies
These were very addictive. Delicious. Stayed soft overnight. Baked these for 10 minutes in my oven. Added cinnamon chips on top.

Salted Caramel Macarons
Shells 
Salted caramel swiss meringue buttercream
These shells may be my best ones yet. They were in the oven for 17 minutes. Wasn't 100% sure about the silky soft filling - would have preferred it to have a stronger caramel flavour and maybe be slightly firmer. Got rave reviews from all who tried these though!

Peanut butter and chocolate filled pastry pillows
Quick and easy dessert. So good!!!!

Chocolate coconut rough slice
Base = 1/2 this recipe
Filling and ganache
Quite yummy! Used some of the ganache to ensure the filling stuck to the base. The filling was a little dry so would maybe reduce the oven time in the future. May try dessicated instead of shredded in the filling too for a 'smoother' texture.

Chocolate Spiders
A childhood favourite! Used Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter.

Crack Pie
So decadently gooey. Soooooooo unhealthy but man.. you gotta try this.

Blueberry macarons
Shell (as above)
Filling
Not too bad. I don't think these shells were left in the oven long enough so were a bit soft (they were in the oven 10-15minutes). The filling was delicious! Quite runny though and had to leave it in the freezer for some time before it was workable.

 

Vegan Pumpkin Walnut muffins/loaf

Incredibly moist and tasty. Topped it with chopped walnuts and demerara sugar. Freeze well! I actually enjoy them frozen straight from the freezer.
