If you’re anything like me, bank holidays are a perfect chance to get in the kitchen and get your bake on. After a very busy August, my husband and I decided to have a relaxed and low key bank holiday featuring a family dinner on Sunday. This obviously gave me the opportunity to bake a…

Pick n Mix Traybake
What could be better than Pick n Mix when you add it to a yummy vanilla cake traybake?! Inspired by one of my favourite Insta bakers @leticiabakes, I created this delicious recipe and better yet, it is super easy to follow! Ingredients (for the cake) 150g softened butter 150g caster sugar 150g self raising flour…
What is the big deal about ganache?
For some of you, you might be thinking what on earth is ganache and why is it so important? There was a time where I also thought this, but over the last 12-18 months I have been reading up on how versatile it is and I cannot wait to use more of it in my…
Cakes by numbers
Numbers and initial cakes are all the rage these days and I am loving this current trend! They are actually relatively easy cakes to make, you just need to make sure you have lots of buttercream and decorations to make sure you can make them look beautiful. I was asked to make a cake for…
Salted Caramel Ice Cream
Two of my favourite things into one dish, salted caramel and ice cream! I came across this recipe when watching the latest Nigella (my second culinary queen) series on TV and I knew I had to try it straight away. Not only was I blown away with how simple it was to make but it was…

Mother’s Day a few weeks ago was a great chance to showcase my love for piping flowers; especially colourful ones! I made a Raspberry sponge filled with fresh strawberries and buttercream as the base. Roses are actually pretty simple…
Initial Cakes
If you are anything like me and have your Instagram feed permanently filled with cake and baking posts, you will know that initial and number cakes are the latest trend (I think that’s the right think to call them). I actually really like this style of baking because of the simplicity of it; naked sponge…
Na na na na na na na na na na BATMAN!
I can only apologise for my poor attempts at posting over the past few weeks, life does get busy! It is a rubbish excuse really, so I am really pushing myself this month to get into a better routine. Anyway, enough wingeing, let’s talk cake! This is definitely one of my favourite ones to date…
The Beauty of Meringue
I’m not quite sure where my love of Meringue started but it is one of my all time favourite things to bake. The simplicity of whisking egg whites and sugar together to create such a scrumptious treat is incredible. Over the years I have tried and tested many ways of making it and it has…
