One of our favourite topics, if not our all time favourite topic, is puddings. Recently we have been pondering about what are our all time favourite desserts and whether the old classics really are the best?

The question we asked ourselves is: What are our top five favourite desserts?

As you can imagine this is a tricky question to answer so we decided to write a dream menu of our top five. This is how it looks:

At number 5 is the humble Crumble spiced up with some fresh plums, clotted cream and lots of crispy crumble topping.

At number 4 it’s vanilla Panna Cotta with a perfect soft creamy wobble, lovely.

At number 3 it’s the Crème Brulee with a top that has a satisfying crack when whacked with a spoon followed by yummy vanilla cream underneath.

At number 2 it’s a Chocolate Mousse, light fluffy and dark with lots of alcohol to give it an unctuous kick.

NUMBER 1 is a split choice for the top between a classic Chocolate Soufflé and a Banoffee pie. And just to make everyone drool here is a picture of our very own Alpine Cookery Course Banoffee pie…..enjoy.

Carrot Cake

Oh, the dilemmas of chalet baking. Is it cake, cookies, brownies, biscuits, butter icing, water icing, cream cheese frosting…….the list is endless and your time is not.

A very important birthday called for me to make a cake so, I went out and purchased a baking book called the Hummingbird bakery cookbook. It stated it was a best seller and on recommendation from a friend I purchased it on Amazon for just under £9.

My test is: When I bake a cake does it, (a) work (b) look like the picture (c) taste good.

Well that’s for you to decide but I can tell you it was pretty tasty if I say so myself!
