Bundtnuts: Bundt Book Challenge #5.
I chose to make some Bundtnuts on Sunday from the recipe in Bundt by Melanie Johnson. I’d never heard of Bundtnuts before, let alone made any. They are just a hybrid of a doughnut baked in a mini bundt pan with different variations of flavourings and toppings. It was a good excuse to bring out…

Attic 24 Cosy Stripe and Cosy Cupcake Blankets.
It’s been absolutely ages since I made these blankets and I can’t think why I haven’t mentioned them before on the blog. As you know, I’m a huge fan of the Attic24 blog and admired all the beautiful blanket patterns on the website. I used to think, oh I can never do that. Back in…

Carrot Bundt Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting Bundt Challenge #4.
I absolutely adore carrot cake and have been wanting to bake one for a ages. It’s been a while since I’ve been asked to make one so I thought why don’t I bake one because I want to? Baking one in a Bundt pan is even better and such a treat. On Sunday afternoon I…

Blue Ripple Yachts Baby Blanket
In between the adult/ full size blankets I make, I also try to have a baby blanket on the hook. This gives me a change and often looks like something which can be made up quickly, therefore making me feel like I’ve actually completed or achieved something. Sometimes when you are in the throes of…

Black Forest Bundt #100bakeschallenge No 76 & Bundt Book Challenge #3.
It was Mr S’ birthday last weekend. He doesn’t normally like celebrating his birthday or making a fuss but his family think differently! He also told me not to make him a birthday cake. But when I don’t bake anything he asks if I’ve baked anything. I can’t win! I don’t listen to him- we…

Vanilla And Chocolate Marble Bundt: Bundt Challenge #2.
On Sunday, I decided to test out my second recipe from Mel Johnson’s fabulous book “Bundt”. This had been one of the three choices I was going to bake for the first one but the Snickerdoodle Bundt won the most votes in the polls across my social media. I had also asked if people could…

Cornish Pasties- A Great British Bake Off Recipe.
I’m still working my way through my #100bakesposterchallenge and am really enjoying it. There are bakes I’ve made before a few times over and some I haven’t tried at all. Usually the ones I haven’t tried are down to whether they look complicated or are much easier to buy ready made. I must admit I…

Bundt Challenge #1: Snickerdoodle Bundt
My new challenge for 2023 is to bake as many recipes from Bundt by Melanie Johnson. You can read all about this in an introductory post here: Bundt- The New Challenge For 2023. I wasn’t sure which recipe I’d like to make first so I put it to the vote. It was a choice between Snickerdoodle,…

The Attic24 Woodland Blanket.
The final big project for 2022 was a hybrid of two Attic24 blanket patterns. I used the Woodland colour palette but used the pattern from the Harbour blanket as I wasn’t so keen on doing the wave pattern in the original Woodland. I had been itching to make the Woodland blanket ever since I saw…

Paul Hollywood’s Focaccia: #100bakesposterchallenge No 74.
Yeast baking and bread making is my nemesis! I’m not confident baking bread at all. Things either don’t rise or they look a complete mess. So when I have to make anything bread or yeast related, I run for the hills! Now as you know, I have my #100bakeschallengeposter on the go and by New…
