Matches Made in Heaven

Whenever I set out to bake something, I’m always thinking about how I can personalise recipes or add extra flavours that will harmonise with the preexisting ones. I also love to add flavoured icings/frostings that are different but compliment the bake!

Here’s a few of the most delicious flavour combinations I’ve come across, so I hope you decide to try some next time you’re in the kitchen!

White Chocolate:

• coffee
• nuts (especially hazelnuts mmmmm)
• wasabi (sounds strange, but don’t knock it til you try it- you only need a little bit though to pack a flavoursome punch!)
• orange
• lime
• cardamom
• salted caramel
• maple syrup
• cranberry

Milk/Dark Chocolate:

• coconut
• chilli
• orange
• berries
• mint
• coffee
• salt
• caramel

Ginger:

• honey (so so so good- try a ginger cake with honey buttercream!)
• cream
• apple
• lemon
• lime
• apricots

Citrus Fruits:

• most fruits- particularly apple, berries, mango, cranberries,apricots
• ginger
• chocolate
• vanilla
• cinnamon
• almonds
• coconut
• mascarpone

Banana:

• berries
• cinnamon
• mango
• hazelnut
• chocolate
• maple syrup
• caramel
• oats

Obviously this is just a few of the many, many, many combos- if you have any questions, just drop them in the comments!

Hope this helps!
