Lemon Macaroons
Macaroons are one of my favourite things to bake. They look amazing and really aren’t as scary as they appear to be to create. My fail safe secret is my Macaroon Mat from Lakeland which ensures they are all the same size and cook at the same time. You can choose different fillings, I like to use…

Olive Oil Lemon Cake

Ingredients For the sponge 200ml extra virgin olive oil 275g caster sugar 275g plain flour 3 eggs 1 tsp. baking…
Baileys and Coffee Cupcakes

If I have to be honest, I used to really struggle with chocolate sponge. For some reason, I never used to be able to get the flavour levels right or the sponge wouldn’t rise! With this recipe however, tried and tested many times, you will undoubtedly get super delicious chocolate cupcakes that are full of…
