New Year’s Day Tiramisu: #100bakeschallenge No 73.
Happy New Year! Hope that 2023 brings you everything you hope and wish for after such a turbulent year last year. I was glad to see the back of 2022 to be honest. But sometimes I think different year, same s***! I have a few things to look forward to in 2023 but I am…

Amazing Cakes #26: Spanish Lemon Meringue Cake.
It has been a very difficult few weeks in our family following our recent bereavement. Blogging had been going by the wayside for a while anyway as work in school and baking for SmartCookieSam’s online business has been occupying a lot of my time. It is a shame as I love trying out new recipes.…

Blueberry Cheesecake
On my Patisserie course at college this week, we got to make blueberry cheesecake. I do love a good cheesecake even though they are not healthy. I’ve made a few over the years, some fantastic and others: well you’d put them straight in the bin. But this one made during my evening class I have…

Apple Amber Cake
I cannot believe how lazy I’ve been about my blogging recently. Life has just been so hectic and every time I try to sit down and write something, there’s always something else to do. I’ve also started on a diet, so I have been trying my hardest not to bake as much. This is torture…

Cooking The Books February 2014- Chocolate Macaroons from How To Be A Domestic Goddess.
A week last Friday, when it was Valentine’s Day marked the end of a very busy week for us. We had just got over a nasty flu virus and were still not feeling one hundred per cent. The last thing on my mind was Valentine’s Day. To be honest I don’t really care much for…

Pistachio and Hazelnut Macaroons using Whynut Pastes.
A couple of months back I was excited when WhyNut sent me a goody box through the post inviting me to try out some of their pistachio nuts and nut pastes. I used the fresh nuts in different ways in to make some Pistachio Cupcakes and in cookies but wanted to try out the nut…

Cooking The Books Challenge January 2014: Key Lime and Lemon Cheesecake Loaf from A Lighter Way To Bake
Sunday 12th January 2014. I had had a busy week and had been food shopping the previous Friday for stuff we’d run out of. I was in Morrisons in Wetherby, somewhere I don’t go that often and it was absolutely heaving. I’d found the last parking space in the car park and even then I…
