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…

#100bakes: Victoria Sponge.
You can’t beat a traditional Victoria Sponge. It’s got to have fresh cream in it, for me. I also prefer it sprinkled with caster sugar, rather than icing sugar. A Victoria Sponge is another bake to scratch off the #100BakesChallenge Poster. I chose to use Mary Berry’s recipe, which always works for me. Instead of…

Jammy Biscuits #100bakes
It’s now Monday 21st February and I’m on half term week this week. I am glad of the break and the catch up. It made me think about what half term was like last year and we were still in the third lockdown. The weather was definitely wet after all the snow had melted up…

Amazing Cakes #7: Victoria Sponge
I know I’ve published a blog post somewhere about a good old Vicky Sponge but I wanted to try out the Amazing Cakes’ version last Monday. It was my day off work and I walked down to my local post office to post a few parcels of some hand crocheted and knitted baby blankets I…

Sultana Scones- My Favourite Recipe
I’ve been meaning to write this blog post up for ages. Having a bit more time being in lockdown has given me the time to add more things on the blog. Scone’s have always been one of my favourites. You can’t beat a fresh, homemade scone. One of the things I am really looking forward…

Icelandic Marriage Cake.
Whenever I go on holiday I like to find out if there are any traditional local cakes either to try or to recreate at home. Last month we went to Iceland for four days as a stopover on our way to Canada. I didn’t eat any cake or sample any Icelandic baking but was curious…
