Pistachio Bundt Cake: Bundt Challenge #7.
Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been working my way through my Bundt book challenge. So far I’ve managed one recipe a week. Doesn’t sound like much but I have lots going on in my life at the moment. Last Thursday afternoon I got home from work late after going via the shops on…

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…

Lindor Mini Mint Truffle empire biscuits- National Mint Chocolate day.
It was National Mint Chocolate Bar on Saturday 19th February. As mint is my absolute favourite flavour for cakes and ice-cream, I had to create something to celebrate this day on the Foodie lovers calendar! I was actually in London all day on Saturday so my post is three days late. A very early start…

Blueberry and White Chocolate Layer Cake

Half Term Baking
It feels like an eternity since I last updated my blog. I was working in a long term and full time post last half term. Baking, let alone any blogging was the last thing on my mind. The last few weeks have been extremely stressful. Even though baking helps me to relax and unwind, I…

Orange Chocolate Chip Shortbread.
Excuse the dire photography in this post. Taking photos isn’t my strong point. The photos didn’t do these tasty morsels justice. I baked these shortbread pieces for my family to eat at home while I was away staying away in Canada visiting my brother and his family. I don’t think they remembered they were there…

Pecan Pie Popcorn Naked Cake.
I love the trend for naked cakes (cakes with little or no icing on top). I have a sweet tooth but am finding a lot of buttercream and sugarpaste a bit too much when I eat it on a cake no matter how beautiful and delicious it looks. This cake is the third and last…

Chocolate Orange Star Cookies.
The other day when I was in WHSmiths I ended up buying a copy of Lorraine Pascale’s new book “Bake”. I was only meant to go in there to buy some new highlighter pens and a notebook but I came out with them plus Lorraine’s book and a magazine. I was then meant to be…

Strawberry Milkshake Traybake.
A couple of weeks back we had an event in my local village hall. I was asked to bake a couple of things to take along. I was surprised to be asked as it was an evening event. Usually cakes and bakes are meant to be eaten during the day but not alongside wine and…
