Devil’s Food Cake -National Chocolate Cake Day
I had no idea it was National Chocolate Cake Day on the same day as Mr S’ birthday! It was a huge coincidence that I was baking him a chocolate flavoured birthday cake this year for him instead of the Lockdown brownies he got last year. I love baking chocolate cakes (and eating them, too […]

Amazing Cakes #31: Apple, Maple and Walnut Streusel Cake
October 17th 2021. It’s been over a year since I set myself the challenge of working my way through the bakes in The Great British Bake Off Book Of Amazing Cakes. I’ve only managed about half of the recipes and it’s getting to the stage where there are some bakes that I might not be […]

Amazing Cakes #30: Fairy Cakes
Hi everyone! Once again I’ve not kept up with my blogging. I’ve started a new job. I only work part time (every morning) but I’m busy with my online baking commitments and juggling lots going on at home at the moment. I’m pleased to say it’s actually now half term week here and although I […]

Amazing Cakes #27: White Chocolate and Blueberry Layer Cake.
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve tried out a recipe from The Great British Bake Off The Big Book Of Amazing Cakes. Most of the recipes I have left over in the challenge are the more complicated ones or the ones you would bake for a special occasion. Can’t imagine me baking a three […]

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. […]

So far I’ve made the Gluten Free Brownies, the Vegan Marble Bundt Cake and the Vegan Lemon Drizzle Loaf Cake. To fit in with dietary requirements, lifestyles and […]

It’s been a busy week here, not had much chance for actual baking as I’m getting my website ready for my online cookie business! All will be revealed by next week. I’m waiting for some new packaging to arrive so I can send out cookie samples to my taste testers. I’m also rethinking a couple […]

Amazing Cakes #21: Cherry Cake
I’m trying my hardest to do a baking challenge: baking all the recipes in the Great British Bake Off book “The Big Book Of Amazing Cakes”, which was published to tie in with 2019’s series. What I hadn’t realised was that because some of the recipes had come from previous series, I’d actually baked a […]

Chocolate and Salted Caramel Brownies: Amazing Cakes #18
Whenever I take brownies to work they always go down really well. I get fed up of baking the same things over and over again and like to try new things, though. When I was looking through Amazing Cakes From The Great British Bake Off and thinking what I’d like to make next, I found […]

Lime and Coconut Drizzle Bundt Cake: Amazing Cakes #16
Those of you who know me might remember that I have an addiction to collecting Nordicware Bundt pans. I haven’t got as many pans as some people but I have enough to drive Mr S to wish he could flog them all on Ebay! To me, they are pretty and stylish and make an ordinary […]
