• 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…

• 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…

• Giant Raspberry Jam Tart

  

  October 31st 2021. You know when you have a great plan and it goes drastically wrong? That! One Sunday afternoon I had the oven on and thought about a pudding we could have for dessert. I’d only got one egg left after all my baking orders and was just about to head out to buy…

• A Bake For All Seasons #1: Blackberry and Apple Crumble Cake.

  

  3rd October 2021 As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not that much of an Autumn/ Winter persion. Mainly because I don’t like it being dark early and getting up in the dark. Not to mention the lack of sun. But having said that, there are positives to this time of year- it’s Bake Off Season! The…
