Chocolate and nut donuts

These were such fun and so easy to make.

The recipe comes from... http://bakerbynature.com/double-chocolate-cake-donuts/

Just finely chopped nuts to spice up the decoration a bit.

Mmmmmmm!

Fern fronds

Piña coladas

Made with fresh pineapple juice and real coconut milk - YUM!

Beautiful sky...

Candles and flowers...

Thought this was a neat DIY idea. Stuff orchids in a glass, fill it with

water, then float a candle on top...

Soursop Gelato

This unusual looking and flavoured fruit makes spectacular icecream. 

First had to get all the loads of pips out of it. A serious business involving hands. Forget trying to be all proper with a knife or anything. I did all the research on the Internet about it and a lot of people were very quiet about it... Just said it was difficult! My favourite people were the ones that said get in there with your hands and after taking out probably 100 pips I agree wholeheartedly!

I blitzed the flesh in the blender and added a bit of lemon juice. You can add sugar if you want. About 2 cups of pulp.

Then I just made an "icecream custard". Once it was cool mixed in the pulp then let it get really cold in the fridge overnight. Put the mix in the icecream maker the next day and voila!

Killer curls!
