With Mother’s Day coming up this is a time to spoil your mother or the mother of your children! Creating food for others to enjoy can be the most wonderful gift of love. What better way to show your love and appreciation than by baking with love for love. But if you are like me, without that special person to spoil, then I say let’s spoil ourselves in her memory! I made these lovely little orange cakes for just this purpose last year. As you can see I am a great believer in the saying, don’t mess with a good formula! Is that a saying or did I just make that up? No matter, just go bake them, make them look pretty and serve with a dollop of love, on a beautiful plate or beautifully presented in a lovely wrapped gift box.

Everywhere you go at this time of the year, you are confronted with chocolate eggs. It doesn’t bring out any cravings for me now as I see then as a load of mass produced sugar bombs. I have yet to see any that are refined sugar free, so I have easily avoided them.

However, I do love chocolate, and coconut, so although these are not chocolate eggs I think they are a pretty great delightful no bake Easter treat from Beth at the Hungry Club. Delish layers of cooconuty and chocolate heaven and no refined sugar, just a few spoons of pure maple syrup.

Holidays and visiting family in my household mean loads of primally inspired/paleo cooking & baking. It’s bonus time for me with numerous members of the family introducing new and cooking up old favourites. These holidays are no exception.

Also with a break from the 9-5 hurly burly, there has been also time to change out my blog masthead image. My Chocolate Fudge Cake with Strawberry Cream has stood the test of time. It was one of the first primally inspired cakes I had made and was at the beginning of my food photography passion – all soft blurs (read, out of focus because I hadn’t worked out the focusing thingi on the camera!). So what better time to create a new image that says what this blog is about – paleo with cream!

So here we go – Chocolate Orange Cake with Mascarpone Cream & Berries.
