Today this lovely fruit box arrived on my desk from Snow Goose,

It was filled with delicious fruits, including:

• Grapes
• Pears
• Apples
• Kiwi Fruit
• Bananas
• Oranges
• Avocado
• Papaya

and some fruit I've never actually eaten before like Rambutans

and persimmons and even a custard apple!

All of the fruit was extremely fresh,

unlike some other fruit boxes i've seen where fruit arrives almost too ripe to eat.

So this means you have more time to enjoy it!

These Snow Goose fruit gift boxes would be perfect for a present that's something different,

maybe even a care package for a friend or loved one who's a little too far away.

I received the Mixed Fruit Gift Box which is available all year round and you can even order it with short notice! Which is perfect if you forget someone's special day (It's okay.. I won't tell)

The fruit is presented in Snow Goose's distinctive wooden boxes and protected by wood wool and bubble wrap which sits on top, so you can be sure the fruit won't be bruised when it reaches your special someone.

The mixed fruit gift box starts at $65.00 plus delivery. Snow Goose also has a wide variety of other gift boxes available. Including the Tea Connoisseur Box, Antipasto Dinner Box and Sweet Temptations (Which I definitely have my eye on).

So check out the Snow Goose site to find out how you can order your own.

Delivery is available in NSW, SA, WA, VIC, QLD and ACT

unfortunately not TAS.

So, readers..

Have you got an idea what I can do with the fruits

I'm unsure about?

(Custard apple, Persimmon, Rambutans)

Just a quick post and a delicious recipe :)

The holidays always mean a time of entertaining in my household, 

and this easter has been no exception so far. 

I quickly whipped up these glazed orange cakes this morning 

as I wasn't in the mood for a heavy cake after last nights good friday feast

that was jam packed full of food.

eat your heart out, seafood lovers!

I love quick, simple, easy to prepare cakes

and this one is perfect if you're in a rush like I was

as it's delicious warm.

Orange Glazed Cake Recipe 


185 grams butter, softened
2 tsp finely grated orange rind
2/3 cup castor sugar
3 eggs 
1 cup SR flour
1/2 cup plain flour 
1/3 cup milk 
1/2 cup orange marmalade


Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius (355 degrees fahrenheit)
Cream butter, rind and sugar until light and fluffy 
Beat in eggs one at a time until combined 
Sift in flours and add milk, mix until smooth and fluffy.
Spread cake mix into greased and lined cake pan (or muffin tins etc.)
Bake for 25 - 30 minutesor until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Stand cooked cake for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cake rack.
Warm marmalade for 30 seconds in the microwave, until it is of a more spreadable consistency
Brush warm marmalade over warm cake's top and sides and leave to cool.


The recipe makes a regular loaf sized cake, however I made a smaller loaf and 6 friand sized cakes - Which took about 20 minutes to cook through. 
Don't be worried if the cake looks quite brown on the outside but still underdone on the inside, it's normal,
Once cooled the cake will have deliciously crunchy sides and a soft, moist middle. 




I hope all of you have a fantastic easter :) 
and eat loads of delicious chocolate and good food

 But I do have to warn you, 
If you make this cake.. you will be tempted to eat it all.
It's incredibly moreish.
