Devil’s Food Cake -National Chocolate Cake Day
I had no idea it was National Chocolate Cake Day on the same day as Mr S’ birthday! It was a huge coincidence that I was baking him a chocolate flavoured birthday cake this year for him instead of the Lockdown brownies he got last year. I love baking chocolate cakes (and eating them, too […]

Amazing Cakes #31: Apple, Maple and Walnut Streusel Cake
October 17th 2021. It’s been over a year since I set myself the challenge of working my way through the bakes in The Great British Bake Off Book Of Amazing Cakes. I’ve only managed about half of the recipes and it’s getting to the stage where there are some bakes that I might not be […]

A Bake For All Seasons #2: Jammy Dodgers
3rd October 2021. I always love Biscuit Week on the Great British Bake Off. It was great to see that this year’s contestants were asked to bake Jammy Dodgers for the Technical Bake. I love making Jammy Dodgers, although mine always look boring. I so need to get a set of those Nordicware Cookie Stamps […]

A Bake For All Seasons #3: Banana and Peanut Butter Loaf.
Sunday October 10th 2021 I wanted to bake a cake for Sunday afternoon. I had been away for some of the weekend and we weren’t having a full blown Sunday roast but Mr S was going to cook his special steak with new potatoes and salad. I’ve been suffering a bit with my mental health […]

The Great British Bake Off- A Bake For All Seasons Book Review.
October 2021. It’s always exciting when a brand new Great British Bake Off book is released. I wasn’t sure if there was going to be one this year, what with the pandemic but like last year it was a great surprise when it popped up on Amazon to say there was going to be a […]

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 #28: Mint Chocolate Roulade
Baking roulades and Swiss Rolls always fills me with dread. They look fiddly and messy whenever I make them and the filling never looks neat when I roll them up. Or the actual sponge cracks so much. Roulades are usually made without flour and fat and are whisked sponges baked in a flat rectangular cake […]

Amazing Cakes #27: White Chocolate and Blueberry Layer Cake.
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve tried out a recipe from The Great British Bake Off The Big Book Of Amazing Cakes. Most of the recipes I have left over in the challenge are the more complicated ones or the ones you would bake for a special occasion. Can’t imagine me baking a three […]

Amazing Cakes #21: Cherry Cake
I’m trying my hardest to do a baking challenge: baking all the recipes in the Great British Bake Off book “The Big Book Of Amazing Cakes”, which was published to tie in with 2019’s series. What I hadn’t realised was that because some of the recipes had come from previous series, I’d actually baked a […]
