Weekend Cooking: What I Baked in February

After a very slow month in January where I only baked one thing, this month has a more normal look about it. It seems about the right pace to bake one thing each weekend, although this month I missed one weekend.

Here's what I baked in February

Chocolate Mousse Cake  - I posted about this here and it was so delicious! This is one that we will definitely be making again.

Pinata sugar cookies - These were our Valentine's Day treat. I know they probably should be red but this is somewhat close to my husband's favourite colour, and it matches the colour scheme of the fancy sprinkles I bought during lockdown and still hadn't used yet. The fortnightly challenge for the Queen Baking Club (on Facebook) was for making sugar cookies. I decided to use the Queen recipe to recreate a concept I learnt from Bake it Box. So what makes these cookie Pinata cookies? There's a little place in the middle where you can put sprinkles and maybe a little note, as you can see below

Lemon Tart with meringue kisses - I was "inspired" to make this when I saw an image that was promoting a new Australian TV series called Aftertaste. That was a very professional looking tart with perfectly placed meringue kisses. Mine is a lot more rustic but it was delicious and I was happy with the taste. Making the meringue kisses was a good way to use up the egg whites that were left over from the tart. I used a Donna Hay recipe which I have shared before.
