#100bakes: Lemon drizzle cake
There are quite a few Lemon Drizzle Cakes or variations of Lemon Cakes already on my blog. But I was wanting to contribute a couple of cakes to the Cake Stall at our village coffee morning. Lemon Drizzle cake always seems to be popular at events and a traybake is so easy to make. Just…

My Favourite Shortbread
There’s nothing better than a piece of freshly baked shortbread with a cup of tea or coffee. I love baking shortbread. It’s a simple recipe but a delicious one. For my shortbread, you only need 4 ingredients plus any flavour additions. But the plain shortbread, liberally dusted with caster sugar is just perfect. I bake…

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 #26: Spanish Lemon Meringue Cake.
It has been a very difficult few weeks in our family following our recent bereavement. Blogging had been going by the wayside for a while anyway as work in school and baking for SmartCookieSam’s online business has been occupying a lot of my time. It is a shame as I love trying out new recipes.…

Lemonade and Ginger Beer Drizzle Loaf Cakes- Fentiman’s Drinks.
A couple of weeks ago I was so happy to win an Easter Hamper in a competition on Fentiman’s Facebook page. I couldn’t believe it, I never win anything like that and there were loads of entries. The hamper was a huge, gorgeous wicker basket filled with a massive selection of Fentiman’s popular…

Raspberry and Lemon Love Heart Cake- The Clandestine Cake Club A Year of Cake February Bakealong.
Valentine’s Day to me is a great excuse to bake. I don’t like all the commercialism around Valentine’s Day, though. To me if you want to show someone you love them, its the little things every day, not just on the 14th February. Why wait until the 14th February to buy your loved one a bunch of flowers? They’re…
