The Great British Bake Off Christmas- Lebkuchen Cookies.
Friday 22nd December 2017. I love spicy and aromatic Lebkuchen cookies. My mum used to buy a special packet of them every year at Christmas from Sainsburys.

Jaffa Cakes #GBBOTwitterBakealong (Series 7 Cake Week Technical Challenge)
I’m so excited that The Great British Bake Off is back. What do you think of it so far? In the first couple of episodes I spend most of the time getting confused as you begin to find out who’s who. I get muddled up with what each contestant bakes to begin with but after […]

John Whaite Bakes At Home- Update on my June Cooking The Books Challenge.
Unfortunately things have gone a bit pear shaped in my monthly Cooking The Books Challenge. It got to the end of the month yesterday and I realised I’d not baked two of the recipes I wanted to for the challenge. I missed out on baking some Utterly Nutterly Shortbreads and some Wedding Party Rings! Oh […]

Paddington Bear’s Marmalade Sandwich Cake
A couple of weeks ago I went along to York Central’s Clandestine Cake Club event which was held in the fabulous York Cocoa House on Blake Street just around the corner from the Minster. Although I have been a member of the Clandestine Cake Club for nearly 2 years now, it was the very first time […]
