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 […]

Daim Caramel Mini Egg Brownies
The other day I had a great response on social media to the Terry’s Chocolate Orange Mini Egg Brownie recipe I posted. I also had lots of compliments about them from my work colleagues who actually got to test them out. Tomorrow, they will be getting an alternative flavour. This time, it’s going to be […]

National Oreo Cookie Day
Who likes Oreo cookies? I do, although they’re not my favourite cookie. I like baking with them, though. I like the mini ones best, which are the lunchbox bag ones with six cookies inside. Yesterday (Sunday, March 5th) was National Oreo Cookie Day according to the My Legoman Foodie Days Of 2022 calendar. When I […]

National Have A Brownie Day- Crunchie Brownies
As I type this, it is Monday 21st February. This post has been edited several times and sat in draft form for nine days now. I honestly don’t know how bloggers with other jobs manage to fit in all their writing time. Last Sunday I was busy with Valentine’s Day baking orders. Then last week […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Tarte Tatin with Creme Anglaise
Last Thursday was the first session in the next part of my Patisserie and Confectionery Course at York College. It was a change of night and we had a new tutor. For my first session I ended up arriving five minutes late as there had been a massive traffic jam driving to York. I had […]

Baking With Reeses Peanut Butter Chips.
Here’s yet another blog post I’ve forgotten to write about over the past few weeks. I had only been in my new job a couple of weeks and baking was the last thing on my mind. Though I do like to bake a cake or a pudding on a Sunday to go with our lunch. […]

Salted Caramel and Pretzel Brownies
I love baking brownies. They are so easy to make yet are so naughty but nice at the same time. I used to make loads of them when I had cake stalls as they were always popular with customers. One man was so taken by my brownies that he came back and bought some more […]
