Avocado and Sweet Corn Salad

I have been enjoying the sweet corn lately and I recently discovered that I really like avocados. When I came across this recipe for an avocado and sweet corn salad I just had to try it. The combination of the sweet corn and the creamy avocados sounded really good. Of course the bacon didn't hurt either. I had also been wanting to try this recipe for a creamy salsa verde dressing and I thought that it would go really well with this salad.

The avocado and sweet corn salad with creamy salsa verde dressing turned out really well. The avocado, black beans and dressing made the salad nice and creamy and the juicy tomatoes and sweet corn cut through the creaminess. The salsa verde in the dressing added a lot of flavour and a bit of heat to the salad. Overall the salad was a really nice combination of flavours and textures.

Getting it fresh from your local farmer's market (where you can also buy the rest of the ingredients) will make this Roasted Sweet Corn Salad as fresh as it gets. Picked fresh, Sweet Corn is crisp, sweet and full of home grown flavor that when combined with fresh Basil creates an amazing taste. Serve this with grilled Fish or Chicken or bring to the next picnic and pair it with BBQ Ribs. No matter what you serve this fresh summer salad with, you will be Cooking The Amazing.

Pretty in Pink Cake

For my Mama’s birthday recently, I made a stack of pretty pink and white cupcakes, displayed on a charming retro cake stand. I was over the moon with the results; I think it is well worth mentioning that the recipe I used was faultless; producing light, vanilla sponge cupcakes with a perfectly flat top – that is to say, the ideal surface to ice/decorate in any way you wish. I used pretty pastel-pink cases and iced the cakes using a standard buttercream icing (one part butter to two parts icing sugar.) I used this, plain, for the cream colour effect swirls and whipped in a drop of pink food colouring for the pink ones. I scattered some white chocolate stars and pink sprinkles as a finishing touch. Simple and lovely!
