energized bruleed banana with coffee-glazed pound cake
The heady mix of feeling energized AND motivated at the same time is as rare as it is special - it’s electric. It’s hard to sit still when the mood is this exciting. There’s an urge to take advantage of the moment because it feels intriguing but also fleeting. It’s time to seize this energized mood and move...
And once you get moving - things will fall into place. You might find yourself in an even better position than when you started. Keep the energy going with a fun and special treat. Relish this energized mood (and bake)!
Well, not bake, brulee. Brulee a banana. A banana coated in sugar and caramelized to perfection.
I'm feeling...
It’s a dessert...
that’s effortlessly sweet with a balanced bitterness that’s next-level,
that takes a little bit of juggling to make but still fits with the energy,
that’s a little of this, a little of that, but a perfect pairing in the end,
that’s warm, fruity, coffee-d,
and that deliciously prolongs the energized mood...
TLDR:
- Energized?

- Fruity, Warm, Coffee-d
- Exciting
This dessert tells an energetic tale of flavours coming together to make something distinctive and unforgettable. It’s an exciting mix of tastes and textures that’s familiar but with a fun spin. It’s as delicious as the mood.

Feel. Bake. Better.
It’s not just about baking something to get you through the day.
It’s not about eating the whole tray to feel better.
It’s about getting lost in the process.
It’s about enjoying every moment.
It’s about sharing it with people that support and care about you.
Baking can be a lot of things – it can be distracting but simple, it can be movement with focus, it can be whatever you need when you need it. Choose a recipe to fit the mood and it becomes a useful tool as well – baking to quiet the mind, to connect with your emotions, or simply baking to feel emotional. Just think of the feelings you get and the emotions you experience when baking your favourite dessert…. excitement, relief, fulfillment, joy, accomplishment.
