Foodie Friday: Make your own Christmas Pudding SmashCake

foodie friday logo
Claudia Abrahams fromย Sydney Smash Cakesย shares how to make her Christmas Pudding SmashCake. If this is a bit ‘too hard basket’ for you, you can order yours, or one of their other amazing, lolly-filled creations, online in time for Christmas, from $75.

Ingredients

  • Oil
  • 300g milk or dark chocolate
  • 150g white chocolate
  • Jaffa or red chocolate lollies (the โ€˜cherriesโ€™)
  • Spearmint Leaves or Green Cloud lollies (the โ€˜leavesโ€™)
  • Red and green M&Ms
  • Mixed lollies/chocolates of your choice for the โ€˜fillingโ€™ and additional decorations

pimped-christmas-pudding

Methodย 

Oil a large stainless steel bowl with 1/4 teaspoon of oil and place in a freezer for 10 minutes.

Place approx 300g of chocolate (milk or dark) in a microwave safe bowl and microwave the chocolate until runny.

Pour the chocolate into the bowl, allowing enough to coat entirely. Then gently swirl the chocolate around the bowl to cover entirelyย โ€“ this creates your โ€˜puddingโ€™ dome.

Place bowl back in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes until chocolate has set.

Once set, turn the bowl upside down and very gently slide the chocolate shell out of the bowl.

Once the chocolate dome is out of the bowl, fill with lollies and treats of your choice.

Place a board on top and gently turn it the right way around. Then you can start to decorate, which is the fun part!

For the chocolate ‘drip’ melt white chocolate in the microwave as previous.

Once melted, gently spoon the white chocolate over the top of the dome, starting in the centre so it drips downย the side of the dome – do this in 5 or 6 sections so that it looks like the icing of a traditional Christmas pudding.

Place another small drop of melted chocolate on top, directly in the middle, and place a large red chocolate ball or a couple of Jaffas on the top to represent the cherries, and two spearmint leaves or green clouds to represent the leaves.

Then using red and green M&Ms (or your favourite chocolates or lollies of choice), alternate them around the base of the dome using melted chocolate as the โ€˜glueโ€™ to decorate.

I don't regret the extra expense of my bathroom li I don't regret the extra expense of my bathroom lighting for a minute.

Although at the time I may have been a bit "HOW MUCH?" ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thrilled to have our bathroom shared in an article about lighting on @bhgaus where I talk about 2 things we chose in particular.

Firstly the LED light in the bath niche which is the PERFECT relaxing bathing light (and you know I have one every single night!).

Second, (swipe) a sensor light under the vanity which makes it easy for the kids and visitors who aren't familiar with the light switches, to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night with ease! 

Do you have either of these things in your bathroom or would you consider them?

Brothers Jack and Mark Fearon, of Australian desig Brothers Jack and Mark Fearon, of Australian design and fabrication company, @__fearon__ first started their business in 2019 as a creative outlet and antidote to their more commercial work.

Their pathway to design was somewhat unusual. Jack, a plumber by trade and Mark, a boilermaker, worked as industrial fabricators making large-scale water trucks.

Jack says heโ€™s conscious of making pieces that are sculptural, but also very usable. โ€œWe donโ€™t think our pieces are there just to look good,โ€ Jack says. โ€œWe love seeing our pieces in peopleโ€™s homes and in galleries, restaurants and hotels, with things all over them. Theyโ€™re for real life.โ€

FEARONโ€™s handmade pieces are aluminium and designed for longevity. Jack says the material choice means pieces are lightweight, easy to sculpt and entirely recyclable.

When her styling business took a hit, @vaultinteri When her styling business took a hit, @vaultinteriors decided to reduce her outgoings by moving to a tiny house. And we're not sure we've ever seen a more stylish one!

Although the move to a container home was motivated by financial pressures, Justine Wilson is loving her new simpler way of life.

It'll make you want to downsize too!

Appliance colour trends: They've certainly change Appliance colour trends:

They've certainly changed over the years. Remember when ALL fridges were white?! I remember the original BROWN wall oven in our 60s kitchen here pre-reno! I think the dishwasher was brown and beige (and it tripped the electrics every time we used it!) ๐Ÿ˜œ

What do you think of this new dark stainless steel option (pictured) from Westinghouse as seen in @dnaofdesign_'s latest reno? Yay or nay? 

What colour do you like your appliances?

A door to door continuous curved stone ledge in th A door to door continuous curved stone ledge in this bathroom is one of the cleverest designs we've seen in a while!

This mega ledge, made of Corian, even incorporates a sink, seamlessly.

Combined with venetian plaster on the walls, it's no wonder this Illawarra bathroom by @birdblackdesign feels like a day spa!

Come check it out via link bio.

Lead designer Stuart Gibson says: "One smooth curve, right around the room, from either side of the door opening. As it moves around, it creates a ledge for the bath: for bath oils, lotions, a book and a champagne glass. The ledge continues around and becomes the vanity, widening out to create a custom seamless basin."
