Let’s talk about Cakesicles

Cake Pops came onto the scene a few weeks ago which if I am completely honest, quite underwhelmed me. I couldn’t see why people would choose to just have a tiny bite of cake covered in chocolate?! So someone, or the Baking Gods, must have read my mind and developed the concept even more to…

Mother’s Day Baking

I am so relieved that lockdown restrictions have been lifted slightly so I’ve been able to see my Mum on Mother’s Day! Even if it isn’t how we would usually spend the day, at least we could actually see each other in the flesh; and I could bake for her. I wanted to something special…

At Last, A Celebration Cake!

I have honestly been waiting for this day for a while and wasn’t sure when it would come. Even though we aren’t celebrating things quite as we would like to just yet, there’s still lots to celebrate.

Brownie Obsession

It’s official, I am now Brownie obsessed. Over the last few months I have really enjoyed baking them, experimenting with them and finding myself craving them! I used to like brownies, and never really saw the hype about them in particular; this may be due to the stereotypical average brownie you get from a supermarket…

Vegan Lotus Brownies

Yes you have read this correctly, I have dipped my toes into the world of vegan baking. I have struggled in the past to find a vegan recipe that didnt involve some crazy substitutes and really altered the taste. However, I stumbled across this one from Juliet Sear and added some twists of my own…

These brownies are bound to make your taste buds tickle with the addition of IPA. The beer gives the brownie a slight bitter taste and an extra fudgey texture without making it too beery. Ingredients 200g plain flour 70g cocoa powder 300g sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1tsp coffee granules 120g white choc chips 3 eggs…

Lotus Mini Cheesecakes

Just because I hadn’t done enough Lotus Biscuit baking, I thought it would be such a delicious treat to make some Mini Cheesecakes. I think mini cakes are super cute and a great way to do individual desserts (perfect when there’s only 2 of you in the house!) Ingredients (makes around 12 mini cheesecakes) 300g…
