Baking Update!
Hi everyone! I feel as if it’s a lifetime since I last updated my blog. My last post was just around Easter, I think. As soon as we got into the second week of the Easter holidays, I began to feel unwell. I have been using HRT for nearly two years and due to the […]

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 […]

Jane’s Patisserie- Book Review.
Over the past couple of years I’ve discovered Jane’s Patisserie website with her delicious, foolproof recipes. Her cheesecake recipes are my absolute go-to, especially as cheesecakes always used to be a disaster when I made them before. Not any more. No more need for gelatine or for baking cheesecakes. I don’t need that with Jane’s […]

Finch Bakery- Book Review
Back in the summer holidays (seems so long ago now!) I was shopping in my local Waterstones. I love going into bookshops and could spend hours looking through all the shelves. Especially at the cookery ones. I’ve not seen so many new baking books I’ve wanted to buy recently but the Finch Bakery one caught […]

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 […]

SmartCookieSam’s Christmas Baking.
I dream about baking and love any excuse to get in my kitchen. But the week before Christmas I just couldn’t get into it. I knew I had lots to make but every time I thought “Right, let’s make that fudge,” something would happen and it would get pushed to the wayside. I started off […]

Mint Chocolate M&M Cupcakes.
So far so good with my Slimming World plan. But I really miss baking. And what I mean about that is proper baking without using rubbish ingredients to replace the sugar and the butter in cakes. I’ll just have to be extra strict with myself and keep away from anything I bake. I’ve had a […]
