Paul Hollywood’s Iced Lemon Whitby Buns #100bakeschallenge no 78.
I don’t know about you, but as soon as I see a recipe has yeast in it, I have this feeling of absolute dread! I’ve never got the results I want from making something involving yeast. Or I can’t handle the dough properly as my hands are always far too hot and sticky- I blame…

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…

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…

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…

Sultana, Apricot and Marzipan Loaf Cake
Did you know that (January 12th) is National Marzipan Day? I didn’t, until a couple of years ago and found a few posts on Twitter. Last year I celebrated this with a delicious Marzipan, cherry and almond Cake: National Marzipan Day cake which was absolutely scrumptious. This year I had half a packet of marzipan…

Bundt- The New Challenge For 2023
I’m always up for a challenge as well you know. A challenge which I would enjoy: even more so! I’m still working my way through the last few bakes of my #100bakeschallengeposter but they will be fitted in around as and when I can do them. There are about 27 or 28 things left but…

Mincemeat Shortbread
Yesterday (January 6th) was National Shortbread Day. Who doesn’t love a beautiful, melt in the mouth piece of chunky all butter shortbread dusted with caster sugar? Me, for one! Shortbread is one of those bakes I never tire of making. It’s so easy to make and you can flavour it with whatever you have going…

New Year’s Day Tiramisu: #100bakeschallenge No 73.
Happy New Year! Hope that 2023 brings you everything you hope and wish for after such a turbulent year last year. I was glad to see the back of 2022 to be honest. But sometimes I think different year, same s***! I have a few things to look forward to in 2023 but I am…

Dundee Cake
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve been able to bake and I’ve really missed it. Our kitchen has had a revamp- a new floor, painted walls and soon to have new light fittings. Why not a completely brand new kitchen? For a start there is nothing wrong with our old one and we…
