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…

Nutella Brownie Cake: National Nutella Day
It was National Nutella Day on Saturday 5th February. I wanted to test out a recipe on the day but this didn’t happen. Saturday was my “catching up day” at home and I also needed to actually go out and buy some Nutella as I didn’t have any in my baking cupboard. Do you like…

Amazing Cakes #13: Swiss Roll
I’ve been so behind with my blog posts recently. One day I’d like to have the time to write up about what I’ve made on the day it was actually made. Since we went into the second lockdown (though I can’t really call it that as I don’t think anything has closed where I live,…

Last weekend I was delighted when our neighbour popped round to see us with a couple of carrier bags full of apples picked from their tree. I was pleased as my own apple tree hadn’t produced anything this year. This was disappointing as although it is a small tree, I did manage to get a…

Blackberry Buttermilk Sponge- The Great British Bake Off Everyday
You must all think that all I do is bake from The Great British Bake Off Everyday book. It seems like so at the moment though I have been using other books as well. It’s just the way things have turned out over the past month or so since the book has been published! Last…

Blue For A Boy Blueberry Bundt Cake
Last Tuesday I was meant to be going along to York Central Clandestine Cake Club’s event. Family circumstances with my hubby working away up in Scotland and my daughter’s horse needing looking after, I had to cancel going along to the event. Unfortunately I only found out that my hubby had to go away a…

Chocolate Orange Stripey “Zebra” Cake
Last Saturday I was taking part in the Clandestine Cake Club’s VCake Event Cake-a-Licious which is a virtual cake event. It was designed for those who haven’t got a local group near them or who can’t always make local events who can still join in the cakey fun online! Of course you don’t get to actually…

Saved By Cake- Baking to Help Depression.
Last year I was over the moon when I spotted that Marian Keyes had brought out a cake baking book. I have read her books and love her sense of humour. The books are perfect for taking away on holiday and whiling away the hours on a sunlounger! The last part of the previous sentence…
