#hightea for #mothersday - Each table got a chocolate-orange layer cake to finish. These were a lot of fun to make. Alternating #chocolate and #orange layers with #whittakerschocolate milk chocolate mousse. Like a #jaffa in cake form! @whittakersnz (at Martinborough Hotel)

#weddingcake Top tier, #fruitcake wrapped in #marzipan , bottom tier three-layered #chocolate sponge with #saltycaramel mousse, all covered in #swissbuttercream , with fresh #roses . @martinboroughhotel #pastrychef #pastrylife #ilovemyjob (at Martinborough Hotel)

Tonight's variation - a #vegan #glutenfree #sugarfree challenge! Balsamic roasted figs, on Banana Sorbet with toasted Hazelnuts. This one was served to a guest here @martinboroughhotel but inspired by @gavant #pastrychef #pastrylife #ilovemyjob except for #dietaryrequirements

Tonight's special dessert - Balsamic & Honey Roasted Figs, served on Molasses Ice Cream with House-Made Ricotta and Toasted Hazelnuts. #fig #molasses #seasonaldesserts #pastry #pastrychef #martinborough #icecream (at Martinborough Hotel)

Valentine's Day shared dessert - Chocolate Fondue, with raspberry-filled sponge cake, chocolate courgette cake, strawberries, pineapple, and honey-mascarpone and salty-caramel-mousse-filled "paua shells". Melted Whittaker's chocolate gets poured into the glass bowl table-side. #valentinesday #chocolatefondue #whittakerschocolate #pastrychef #sharing (at Martinborough Hotel)

Mimosa Cake, the final course at High Tea this month. #hightea #pastrychef #cakestand #layercake #martinborough #winecountry #weddingcake (at Martinborough Hotel)

Fraisier - my take on it anyway, with green tea ice cream. #fraisier #frenchclassic #modernplating #pastrychef #springmenu (at Martinborough Hotel)

Bottles of wine. Why can't my wine cellar look like this? #winecountryliving #colombowinegrowers #nzwine (at Colombo Vineyard - Martinborough)

Steak and onion pie, ginger beer and an Anzac biscuit - yup I'm in New Zealand! #anzacbiscuit #newzealand

This definitely beats eating in the airport food court - thanks again @chefseabass #pokepoke

Awesome hanging out with @chefseabass in LA - thanks Sebastien for picking me up and showing me Venice Beach! #layover #goodfriends
