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…

Salted Caramel Pretzel Cupcakes
On Tuesday I baked some Salted Caramel Pretzel Cupcakes. One of those flavours that was around everywhere a few years ago and it still is popular with lots of people. It’s been a while since I’ve made anything salted caramel related, though. Tuesday 5th April was Caramel Day according to My Legoman’s Foodie Days Of…

#100bakeschallenge: Fondant Iced Birthday Cake
What a busy few days it’s been both in the SmartCookieSam kitchen. As I type, it is Sunday March 20th and it has been a glorious, sunny Spring weekend up here in North Yorkshire. We have been very lucky with the weather over the past couple of days. But as I am so busy, I’ve…

Amazing Cakes #29: Fondant Fancies
When you hear the name Fondant Fancies you immediately think of Mr Kipling’s yellow, chocolate and pink creations. Or if you live in Yorkshire like me, you might have even tasted the delectable version which Betty’s creates. I must admit I find Fondant Fancies too sweet and sickly, even though I’ve got a sweet tooth.…

Amazing Cakes #9: Coffee and Salted Caramel Cake
While we’re self isolating and Mr S is working from home sometimes he likes to have something with a cuppa to keep him going on an afternoon. Last week’s Victoria Sponge had been eaten and he doesn’t really like gingerbread like the gingerbread loaf I made the day before. So on Sunday morning I planned…

Mickey Mouse Cupcakes and Cookies.
On Tuesday night I met up with a few of my friends over in Meanwood, Leeds at a fantastic new bar called Boot and Rally. We held a cake club event in the bar’s snug which was a great space with the perfect atmosphere. Since The Clandestine Cake Club folded in July last year we…

Lemon Curd Victoria Sponge.
Long time, no see! It’s been over a month since I’ve last blogged. My excuse is I’ve simply been busy working. Teaching full time on different supply contacts, doing extra shifts in a day nursery during the Easter holidays definitely took it’s toll though and by the Easter weekend I felt terrible. I went down with…

Strawberry Milkshake Traybake.
A couple of weeks back we had an event in my local village hall. I was asked to bake a couple of things to take along. I was surprised to be asked as it was an evening event. Usually cakes and bakes are meant to be eaten during the day but not alongside wine and…

Black Cherry Cupcakes.
It seems like ages since I’ve baked cupcakes. A couple of years ago they were everywhere and I was always being asked to make them. I love making cupcakes, especially when you can put gorgeous decorations on them. The only trouble is that I find the icing far too sickly sweet. Doesn’t stop me baking…
