If you love cookies, and you have never baked a skillet cookie, then prepare to have your mind BLOWN! Because this skillet cookie is about the most humongous, gooey, chocolaty chunk of happiness that I have baked up…
Hello and welcome to the third installment of Birthday Week! That’s right friends, we’re still going strong! For you see, I have birthday activities lined up for my birthday as far away as next weekend. But don’t worry,…
Happy BIRTHDAY WEEK everyone!!! Let the celebration begin with this MALTED PUFFY PANCAKE smothered in CHOCOLATE MAPLE FUDGE and topped with ALL THE SPRINKLES!!!! It’s a CELEBRATION! Everyone know that Chapelle sketch? So this…
I am a demon for choc mint ice cream. It has always been my favourite flavour. Something about the call of that lurid green swathe of ice cream through the window at the ice cream parlour, scattered with…
Howdy folks. A real quick one today. A personal little favourite dessert of mine. The elements change, but the theory stays the same. Fruit + Crunch + Ice Cream This little combo is perfect to…
This is my absolute favourite Monday night treat. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, it’s Monday. If there is any night of the week when I am particularly susceptible to the lure of fried foods, it’s Monday….
It’s Friday!!! WOOHOOO!!!! If you’re not totally psyched for life on a Friday, then man do I feel sorry for you! That must be a bummer, having no soul. Because on Friday…there’s just something in the air. Something…
OK, so thangs are about to get funky. Or Fünke, depending on whether you love Arrested Development. For no real reason, other than whenever someone says funky, I hear fünke in my head. We should prolly talk about…
These are oh-so-fancy. I can hardly STAND it. Hello again, old friends! This week I’m taking things to the rich side of town…albeit in my typical broke person fashion. Because if there is one dish, sure to convince…
Oh my word, my lawd, my sweet puffy pancake. This one is special you guys. My pancake making life has changed forever. My brunch giving life has changed forever. And by changed forever I mean it has begun,…
I have been sitting here with my hands poised in a weird action-pose over the keyboard for about 5 minutes now, trying to think of how I can convey to you the fabulousness of these pancakes. I am in…
Let’s talk about the alternative names I considered giving these scones: 1) Gangsta Scones 2) Oh no you di’nt Biscuits 3) The scones you would serve if Alice Cooper was coming to your tea party 4) Hard Rock Cakes…
HAVE YOU HEARD? It’s Popsicle Week ya’ll! No, you’re not dreaming. This is really real! Because that charming, achingly hilarious champion of food bloggers Billy over on Wit and Vinegar obviously realised the greatness of popsicles, and decided it…
Hello again, you. If you’ve been reading The Sugar Hit for any period of time, you might have noticed that I don’t exactly go heavy on the diet foods. (You may also have noticed my extremely weak styling and…
I really wasn’t aiming for elegant with these little jellies. I mean, Maple and Blueberry isn’t exactly what you’d call an ‘elegant’ combination is it? In actual fact, I was making these because I was totally inspired by these…
Firstly, you should know that the majority of this post will be a garbled, semi-literate attempt at a love letter to New York. Because of reasons, including bagels. Secondly, you should know that this post contains BAGELS. And not just…
SHOW STOPPER. That is the only way I can think to describe this epic, humongous, star spangled pie. You see, down here in Australia, when you say pie, people think you mean a meat pie. Beef of indiscriminate origin swimming…
WELL HELLO! Sorry about my short leave of absence, but you see I was getting a brand new kitchen! It was not awesome while it was happening, but now that it’s in, it is UH-MAZING. It’s not a fancy one…
OK, so it’s not perfect. This little baby, made with a sweet, crispy, yeasty, buttery dough, she’s not in her prom dress today. Or maybe she is, but it’s one of those ‘uhoh, my dress got ripped, and my hair…
This is my day-glo tribute to the baking of Italy. Isn’t it funny how many of us walk around with a deep and romantic love for Italy in our hearts? Even, maybe even especially, those of us who have never…
Ohhhhh, check out that ooze shot. That’s nice. Real nice. This little number is my new twist on that old favourite, the chocolate fondant. But this is both much lazier, and a little slinkier. Instead of whisking a lot of…
