What a lovely cake! Like everyone else, I'm incredibly jealous of that fig tree! Y’s last blog post..An ode : Green tea and white chocolate cake, summer fruits, sesame nougatine

That's beautiful. I love the pattern with the toffee. I'm so jealous of the fig tree. I gave one to my dad for Christmas, but it's only knee high. I think it'll be a few years before we're eating them. Arwen from Hoglet K’s last blog post..Blackberry Jaffle-pie

Helen- Thanks Helen. I was not a huge fan of figs, however I realised once it was caramelised, the flavours took on a whole new level, and I’ve become addicted since.

Shez- Hahaha I was scared working with the toffee as well, but I think if you’re very careful and pay alot of attention, you can’t go wrong. It’s easy to make and heaps yummy to eat. I caught my mum just picking at the tofee pieces all through the day.

Chocolatesuze- Mr brother has an addiction with the blow torch, he would just find any fruit in the house, sprinkle on some sugar and away he goes. Shame he never cleans up after himself.

FFichiban- Thanks heaps, we had heaps of fun just baking and praying for the best.

Christie- Thanks Christie. Just msg us if ever you want some figs, we have soo many, I’ve started making fig jams. Thanks once again for the mention to the media launch, Minh had a blast. I think she especially loved the free flowing wine =D

Jen- hahaha I find that I’m snacking on the caramelised figs waaaay too much these days, have to find a substitute.

Chris- Thanks Chris. Your photos and blog are no where shy from being fantastic. We’ve all been tight lately, so limiting our eating out ventures, maybe once everyone gets back we’ll have a reunion.

You guys definitely deserve it, your photographs always make me drool and beg people to go out, just so we can try whichever restaurant you’ve reviewed!
I love the caramelising/ed fig pictures – looks so much like it popped out of a rustic french kitchen!

Linda, Minh and Howard – I’m so very flattered! You guys are so sweet. Your photos are absolutely stunning and of course the fruit combination is delicious (although I’m biased!).

I used to have a fig tree and am so jealous you guys have access to them so fresh… perhaps I’ll have to barter something with you for a few

I’m so glad you all enjoyed the media launch and thanks again for this lovely gesture. The caramelised sugar and gold ribbon styling add such a professional aesthetic, great job.
