• November 2022 Baking Round Up.

  November has been a month of two halves . I baked at the beginning and the end but the middle two weeks I couldn’t bake at all and had to limit my time in the kitchen. To someone who loves cooking and baking, this was hard. We were having a new kitchen floor laid and…

• October 2022 Baking Round Up

  

  Once again I’ve not kept up to date with my blog, even though there has been several attempts to write posts over the last few weeks. It’s the same with my Facebook page. There’s always something which gets forgotten about and neglected. So this post is rounding up what has been made in the SmartCookieSam…

• Christmas Baking 2013.

  It’s been a busy few weeks leading up to Christmas.  Even though sometimes you feel as if you’re meeting yourself coming backwards and life is a whirlwind, I do love all the exciting lead up and all the baking I do.  I’ve put my Sam’s Smart Cookies and Cupcakes business on hold for the moment…

• Pistachio Cupcakes

  Last Thursday I was feeling rubbish. It was the last week of the school holidays and I was trying to get lots done.  But my body decided to make me go down with a cold. It started on the Tuesday morning as a sore throat.  I thought nothing of it at first and put it…

• Jaffa Cake Cupcakes

  My son is obsessed with Jaffa Cakes and if I didn’t stop him would happily wolf his way through multi packs of the stuff.  If he is ever with me in the supermarket he always asks if we can have a packet of Jaffa Cakes in the trolley.  I do occasionally treat him but every…

• Sam’s Smart Cookies- Valentine’s Day Cupcakes and Small Bakes

  Although I originally started off baking cookies and other small bakes it is amazing how cupcakes have taken off in the last three years or so since I started up Sam’s Smart Cookies. It was funny as more and more customers were coming to me for cupcakes I did wonder about changing my business name…
