We have a new cocktail special here at Casalinga, this is the Spiced Apple Pie!

A delightful blend of chilli-infused apple schnapps, Dubliner honeycomb liqueur, Dewar's scotch whisky, and apple juice, all in a glass rimmed with cinnamon sugar.

It's like a warm hug in a glass, perfect for thawing out on these freezing winter days and nights.

Last night we had a group in to celebrate a 70th birthday!

They had asked us to make a cake for them, so we made this beautiful profiterole tower, this one had two different fillings in the profiteroles, one was chocolate mousse, the other was cointreau, orange, and white chocolate!

Over the tower was a white chocolate drip, and some honeycomb.
