Chocolate Chip Muffins
It’s been ages since I’ve baked muffins. At the beginning of the lockdown when going off to the supermarket for our weekly shop, my son asked if I could buy some of those mini muffins you can buy in plastic tubs on the bakery counter. I never usually buy these as they taste horrible to […]

Chocolate Paradise Slice
This has got to be one of the best bakes….EVER! I can’t get enough of these. I remember my mum baking some when I was about 6 or 7 when I had a birthday tea party. The recipe came from an old Ladybird cookbook. I still have it somewhere. There’s nothing quite like the combination […]

Chocolate and Salted Caramel Cookies.
I’ve had a day off work today. It was a great opportunity to catch up with my friends over in Leeds for lunch. They’re my cake club lovelies. We met initially through the now disbanded Clandestine Cake Club and got on so well we meet up regularly to put the world to rights over coffee […]

Cornflake Crispies.
I have a new favourite recipe book. It’s actually one I bought about 5 years ago and never got round to testing out any recipes. Mary Berry’s Baking Bible is a classic which millions of people use (including me) but Annie Bell’s Baking Bible is a fabulous book. It features many classics and traditional favourites […]

The Great British Bake Off Christmas- Vanilla and Chocolate Button Cookies.
Wednesday 6th December 2017. Yesterday was full on at work and I came home with a thumping headache. I couldn’t face cooking anything for dinner, so we ended up at the chippy. The sooner I could sit down and switch off last night, the better. Today was a different story. I was home earlier from […]

White Chocolate And Raspberry Fridge Cake.
It’s been nearly two weeks before I broke up for the summer holidays but it’s taken me ages to get round to blogging this recipe. My White Chocolate and Raspberry Fridge Cake turned out to be a real experiment. It was the last day of term in the school I’d been working in on a […]

Chocolate Orange Star Cookies.
The other day when I was in WHSmiths I ended up buying a copy of Lorraine Pascale’s new book “Bake”. I was only meant to go in there to buy some new highlighter pens and a notebook but I came out with them plus Lorraine’s book and a magazine. I was then meant to be […]

Apple Scone Round
Last week my Dad and step mum gave me a bag of beautiful looking apples from the tree in their garden. I was delighted with them as the apples on my own tree in my front garden aren’t quire ready yet. The apples are a bit small and hard at the moment. To top all […]

Very Easy Double Chocolate Cupcakes.
This year I was lucky enough to to get two useful calendars for Christmas. My Dad and step mum bought me a “his and hers” cupcake design calendar which is where I write down all mine and my husband’s work commitments. I work as a supply teacher so my work patterns and locations can vary […]

Cookie Dough Brownies- John Whaite Bakes At Home.
My family are obsessed with brownies and who can blame them? It’s just heaven to sink your teeth into some chocolatey gooiness. My fourteen year old son loves any excuse to bake or eat brownies and had he not been at school when I baked them, I’m sure he would have been in the kitchen […]
