A gentle throw back to festive chocolate bundt-Cake making here in NZ, brought about by my discovery of a Bundt Cake tin in a cute little antique shop in Waiheke Island! 🍰 What’s your favourite food related item you’ve picked up in an antique store? 🍫🍰 P.S: Yes!! Of course this is a chocolate Bundt Cake! #bundtcakesofinstagram #chocolatebundtcake #nothingbutbundtcakes #gugelhupfcake #chocolate #traditionalcakes #europeancakes #waihekeislandfood #waihekeislandlife #waihekeislandnz
It’s been a very different Christmas this year, but an awesome one none the less. Filled with great chocolate and delicious company, or was that the other way around?! 🤔 * The first one I’d spent without any of my family near by and the first in the Southern Hemisphere; so it was warm and sunny, instead of wet and cold, which was very unnerving.🤷🏽‍♀️ * But, I made posh bounty bars using left over chocolate and shared them with friends and my adoptive (my partners’) family here in NZ. * Although I’ve lived abroad before, it made me realise the importance of true family more than ever, and also sent home the fact that whilst Christmas comes only once a year, it should not be the only time you make the effort to spend time with your family and loved ones; you can do that any time, anywhere, any how!! * Your connections are finite, and you should always remember: ‘people are in your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime’, so make the most of them, and don’t regret a second! * And whenever you are with them, always make sure there is great chocolate available, whatever the occasion!! * Happy (Procrastinators) New Year!!! ❤️🍫✨💫 * #chocolate #cacaolove #bountybar #poshchocolate #londonchocolate #christmaschocolate #hny #wellingtonchocolate #cacaotribe #handcrafted
