Baking Carrot Cake- A Story
Hubby and I recently went to a braai when he so eagerly spotted carrot cake. He decided to keep space for it and ate very little food. When cake time came, he rushed to get a giant slice, took a giant spoonful of it, shoved it in his mouth and prepared for a taste explosion…
Backsberg Cabernet Sauvignon [Review]
Paarl, home to the first white pinotage, pinotage-fortified dessert wine and the first wine blend of tempranillo, tannat and tinta amarella.
