Whenever we tell people about our quartzite countertops in our kitchen, we usually get this response: “Do you mean quartz?” Totally understandable since their names are so similar. But, we’re not talking about quartz countertops, even though they are awesome in their own right. We want to tell you why we chose to install quartzite counters in our kitchen, and why we love them! When we began our kitchen renovation in 2018, I looked to Pete and said, “I want a marble kitchen.” Marble kitchens are so pretty, and I can’t help fawning over them when scrolling through Pinterest. Plus, we have a Carrara marble countertop in our bathroom, and I like things in our house to flow from one room to the next. Let’s show you a picture of our bathroom countertop for inspiration: Marble countertops are popular because they are elegant, timeless, and add value to your home. They make any room feel luxurious. I especially love the white/grey look of Carrara marble, which is neutral and easy to pair with any cabinet color or decor. Why not marble? When we told our contractor that we wanted to use marble for our kitchen countertops, he (thankfully!) gave us some pushback. While marble has its pros, like being naturally beautiful and heat resistant, it also has its cons: Marble is porous, making it easily susceptible to staining and etching. It’s a “soft” stone, so it’s prone to scratches and chips (it’s relative “softness” is why it’s used by artists to make sculptures) We’ve actually noticed a couple etching spots on bathroom countertops, probably from a beauty product spill that sat too long. Anything acidic will cause marble to etch if it’s not wiped up right away. Luckily, you can only notice it in certain lighting. Don’t get me wrong, I would absolutely pick marble again for a bathroom. But, kitchens are high traffic areas, so we want our countertops to be durable and stain-resistant (meaning something besides marble). Plus, we love to cook, and do a lot of cooking! Even though we’re the “clean as you go” type when we cook, we don’t want to worry about every little spill staining or etching the counters. Here’s what our contractor said to deter us from choosing marble: “Imagine someone coming home, tossing their car keys onto the marble counter, and maybe leaving scratch marks. Now, picture this happening daily, and add in cooking, eating, and everything else that happens in a kitchen.” He insisted that marble kitchens tend to show wear-and-tear over the years. Pete and I both cringed at the thought of this. Marble was out. Quartzite To get some inspiration, we went to our countertop supplier and browsed through the rows of slabs. If you’ve never done this, it’s so fun! There are so many choices, and each stone slab is unique. Of course, we were automatically drawn to the marble, but made ourselves look past it. No marble for us (for this project at least). Then, we came across a stone called quartzite. It caught our eye because it looked like marble, only it’s an entirely different stone. To be honest, we had never heard of it before. What is quartzite, anyway? Quartzite is an awesome alternative to marble because it resembles marble, but it’s more durable and stain-resistant. It has a similar white and grey color pattern, with lots of veining (veining is a desirable trait in marble that increases the price $$). Plus, it’s a natural stone, which makes it different from quartz (quartz is man-made). Some other perks of quartzite – it’s UV-resistant (the color won’t fade) and low maintenance. Looks like we found a winner for our kitchen countertops! Feeling excited that we found something that we loved, we purchased the slab that day. The type of quartzite that we bought is called Super White. A couple of days later, the countertop installers came to our house to create a template of our countertop layout. They use the template to have exact measurements when cutting the slab to size. Also, they borrowed the sink that we would be installing in our new kitchen, so they could make a perfect cut-out for that. Two weeks later, our new quartzite countertops were installed! We went through a brief period of having no counters or kitchen sink after the old counters were removed, so this day was much anticipated. Our kitchen was undergoing its full renovation in this picture, so excuse the unpainted cabinets and ripped up backsplash. We’re saving our full kitchen reno for a future post! We’ve carefully hid the majority of the kitchen in these updated pictures so we don’t spoil the reveal. Overall, we are so happy with our new countertops. Quartzite gives us the marble-look that we wanted, without the stress of maintaining it. We’ve had the countertops for two years now, and we’re happy to report ZERO staining, scratches, or etching! Take it from us, if you love marble kitchens, do yourself a favor and consider quartzite.

I get a few unusual requests for cakes sometimes, which actually suits me down to the ground as I love flexing my creative muscles to make a cake that is a bit out of the ordinary. Over the last week I have made two cakes on a tipsy theme - a bottle of Grey Goose vodka and a packet of Marlboro Lights for a 40th birthday cake, and a giant pint of Guinness cake which I made for Melissa to celebrate St Patrick's Day on Saturday. As I'm writing this post I'm getting hungry again and might just have to cut myself another slice of the Guinness cake before I tell you how I made the cakes.... I've made the vodka bottle cake before, so it was quite handy that I already had the label prepared. Usually I can find a suitable picture on Google Images but in this case I had to make it up from scratch which took more than 2 1/2 hours that I hadn't budgeted for - oops. Luckily after some good searching I was able to find the Marlboro images I needed, and with a bit of photoshopping I sent the pictures off to be printed into edible images at a local company in Newhaven. I got some slightly strange looks when I picked them up and had to assure them it wasn't a cigarette flavoured cake! The cake itself is a vanilla madeira cake made from two 5" round cakes that I filled and cut in half to create the main bottle shape: Then it just needed a small amount of shaping with a sharp knife to create the domed top and to make sure the sides were smooth and even. Once carved, the cake was then covered in a thin layer of buttercream: The neck of the bottle was made from a sausage of marzipan, then I covered the whole thing in grey sugarpaste and trimmed neatly: The cigarette packed was made from a rectangle of cake cut to just smaller than the image and covered in white sugarpaste. I've learned the hard way to always use plenty of icing sugar underneath so that when you come to move it to the board the sugarpaste doesn't stick to the surface. The surface of the sugarpaste is dampened with a little water before fixing the edible image (see my Monkey Street Art post for top tips on using edible images): The bottle label is added to the cake in the same way and the cigarette packet is secured to the board with a little icing. A few finishing touches and a happy birthday message in royal icing and the cake is finished: I think making this cake gave me the inspiration for the Guinness cake, and I instinctively knew that the recipe I had to use was Nigella's Chocolate Guinness Cake. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate cakes, but this one is a little bit different - moist and dark, with a hint of bitterness coming from the Guinness and then lashings of cream cheese icing really makes it a special cake. Nigella's recipe is for a 9" round cake, which I split between a 5" and a 6" tin to give the basis of the famous pint glass shape. This is quite a damp cake and not really suitable for carving, but I had my heart set on making this cake work and just took shaping the cake very slowly, glueing crumbs back on with a little more icing to fill in any holes. Usually you can freeze cakes before carving to make it easier, but I didn't want to risk the cream cheese icing in the freezer. I also stuffed cake crumbs on top of the layers of icing to make as stable a surface as possible for the sugarpaste as the icing isn't as firm or stable as buttercream (so also not really suitable for a carved cake like this!). Before I started carving I placed strips of greaseproof paper just under the edges of the cake which protect the board from crumbs and smears of icing. It doesn't look very pretty at this stage, but it's now got just about the right shape: Then for a thin layer of icing so that the sugarpaste will stick and once that's smooth you can carefully remove the greaseproof paper and you will have a nice clean board underneath: And then time for the sugarpaste - I like to use Renshaw Chocolate Sugarpaste which has a lovely chocolate flavour. I covered this up to nearly the top, then covered the top part with white sugarpaste for the head of the pint. I then cut through both layers of paste and removed the excess to give a nice clean line: All that was left was to add the logo using some edible gold paint and some superwhite mixed with a dash of water to create the white for the writing. And it just so happens that this is excellent timing as I am celebrating my blogiversary this week - one year of writing the Brighton Bakery blog. Thanks to everyone for reading, and I hope you all have a pint of cake to celebrate with me!
