The making of a Black Forest gateau (or five) - what a blast with these legends!

I have been meaning to share these pictures for a few days!

I am not a cake decorator by any stretch of the imagination, but last weekend we gifted our favourite golf player 🏌 his own golf course ⛳, in the form of a birthday cake to celebrate his 80th.

Happy birthday, Tom 🥂🎂💐 - fabulous husband, favourite Dad, wonderful friend, generous member of our local community, and - very importantly - chief purchasing officer for Adelaide Hills Baking Classes. Thank you for all that you do ❤️

Emily and I had so much fun designing, making and decorating the cake. And it tasted pretty good too - a lemon cake infused with lemon syrup and layered with a white chocolate & lemon butter cream.

And ... no, we are not going to take orders 🤣

==== Update: only 1 place left ====

Gosh, it's been such a long time since we last baked gluten-free cakes in a class!

Do you find it frustrating trying to find gluten-free cakes that are truly delicious and not just 'not bad for a gluten-free cake'? Are you tired of paying a lot of money only to be disappointed when you take the first bite?

Would you like to learn how to create awesome gluten-free cakes that work every time and also get lots of tips that help to make baking easier?

Then why not join my next 'Gluten-free cakes' class on
Saturday, September 12, 2026, 10 am
For more info and to book: https://www.trybooking.com/DJRVE
(please, note, this class is also nut- and dairy-free, but the recipes can easily be adjusted to include nuts and dairy)

We will make an orange & poppy seed cake, a berry crumble cake, as well as pastry-based tartlets with a home-made (dairy-free) custardy filling and cinnamon and lemon zest-infused apples.

Come along solo or bring a friend or two. Either way, you will have lots of fun, meet other people, have fabulous conversations and laughs and create some fabulous cakes!

This will be the last gluten-free cakes class for 2026!

Wonderful short break in Deep Creek National Park

11/08/2026

I have been a bit quiet here over the last week. We have taken a short break and spent a few days in Deep Creek National Park. Such a magnificent place, so peaceful and quiet. Our accommodation was one of the beautiful Ridgetop Retreats by Southern Ocean Retreats, and we had the best time. It was a perfect base with magnificent views of the surrounding bush from every window, we enjoyed beautiful walks, wildflowers emerging, wildlife, rain, warm fires, beautiful beaches, time to read and do nothing. Particularly, the sight of xanthorrhoeas, or grass trees, many displaying huge flower spikes triggered by the fires in February was mesmerising - nature is amazing!

Can’t wait to go back! But first … back to some baking 👩‍🍳

And here are a few pictures for you to enjoy!

Thank you all! What else can I say after 3 days of fabulous gluten-free baking.

Different breads, baguette, bread rolls, pizza, focaccia and mini calzoni. So much fun, learning, laughing, chatting, exchange of experiences and, of course, deliciousness!

See for yourself in the pictures.
