• Chelsea Buns- #100bakeschallenge Paul Hollywood’s Recipe.

  

  A Chelsea Bun is a rich yeasted bun flavoured with citrus zest, dried fruit and cinnamon, dusted with sugar and then glazed with a sticky topping, such as warm apricot jam.

• 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…

• Vanilla Bundt Cake: Bundt Challenge #6.

  

  It’s been such a busy half term week catching up on seeing family and friends. It’s gone all so quickly and within what seems like five minutes, I’m back to work and it’s Sunday again. But I love being busy! Our first day back after February half term week was a training day for the…

• Paul Hollywood’s Iced Lemon Whitby Buns #100bakeschallenge no 78.

  

  I don’t know about you, but as soon as I see a recipe has yeast in it, I have this feeling of absolute dread! I’ve never got the results I want from making something involving yeast. Or I can’t handle the dough properly as my hands are always far too hot and sticky- I blame…

• Carrot Bundt Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting Bundt Challenge #4.

  

  I absolutely adore carrot cake and have been wanting to bake one for a ages. It’s been a while since I’ve been asked to make one so I thought why don’t I bake one because I want to? Baking one in a Bundt pan is even better and such a treat. On Sunday afternoon I…

• Bundt Challenge #1: Snickerdoodle Bundt

  

  My new challenge for 2023 is to bake as many recipes from Bundt by Melanie Johnson. You can read all about this in an introductory post here: Bundt- The New Challenge For 2023. I wasn’t sure which recipe I’d like to make first so I put it to the vote. It was a choice between Snickerdoodle,…

• Cornish Pasties- A Great British Bake Off Recipe.

  

  I’m still working my way through my #100bakesposterchallenge and am really enjoying it. There are bakes I’ve made before a few times over and some I haven’t tried at all. Usually the ones I haven’t tried are down to whether they look complicated or are much easier to buy ready made. I must admit I…

• Sultana, Apricot and Marzipan Loaf Cake

  

  Did you know that (January 12th) is National Marzipan Day? I didn’t, until a couple of years ago and found a few posts on Twitter. Last year I celebrated this with a delicious Marzipan, cherry and almond Cake: National Marzipan Day cake which was absolutely scrumptious. This year I had half a packet of marzipan…

  I’m always up for a challenge as well you know. A challenge which I would enjoy: even more so! I’m still working my way through the last few bakes of my #100bakeschallengeposter but they will be fitted in around as and when I can do them. There are about 27 or 28 things left but…
